AMD is turning heads with its latest release, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D, a high-performance six-core processor featuring 3D V-Cache technology. But there’s a catch: this chip will only be available in the United States and exclusively through Micro Center. Even more unique, it’s not just the processor up for grabs—AMD is bundling it with a motherboard and RAM, ensuring that buyers get a complete upgrade package.
This isn’t the first time AMD has collaborated with Micro Center for an exclusive launch. Their previous partnership saw the Ryzen 5 5600X3D debut in the same retail chain. Now, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D continues this trend, promising enhanced cache performance and speed.
Retailing at $299.99, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D is positioned as the most affordable Zen 4 processor with 3D V-Cache. While it carries a higher price tag than the non-3D Ryzen 5 7600X, it delivers superior cache and performance. It boasts six Zen 4 cores, with clock speeds ranging from 4.10 GHz to 4.70 GHz, and a substantial 96 MB of L3 cache—compared to the 32 MB found in the standard 7600X.
The chip supports up to 128GB of DDR5-5200 RAM and features 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes, catering to enthusiasts looking for top-tier specs. It operates with a 65-watt TDP and is compatible with a range of Socket AM5 motherboards, including those on the A620, B650, B650E, X670, and X670E chipsets.
The Ryzen 5 7600X3D will be available solely through Micro Center as part of a bundle that includes an Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus Wi-Fi motherboard and 32GB of DDR5-6000 RAM. This complete set will cost $449.99, offering a $182 saving compared to purchasing the components separately.
If you’re eyeing this powerhouse processor, remember: it’s a Micro Center exclusive and a bundle deal, reflecting AMD’s strategy of delivering high-performance tech with added value.
