AM4 is the processor socket that simply refuses to die. With a few new chips debuting in June — an astonishing seven years after the unique Ryzen 1000 collection debuted on AM4 — it seems like AMD is releasing one more CPU for the perennial laptop platform.

New regulatory filings point out that it’s referred to as the Ryzen 5 5500X3D, and sure, that X3D on the top means it’s packing further V-cache for avid gamers.

The filings had been submitted to the Eurasian Financial Fee final week, and noticed by VideoCardz.com. We don’t have any additional data past that for now, however less-reliable leaks from final 12 months indicated that the 5500X3D could be a six-core/twelve-thread design with a base clock of 3GHz and enhance as much as 4GHz.

That’s roughly in line as a V-cache improve of the prevailing six-core Ryzen 5 5500, which debuted in 2022 with a retail value of $159. It’s now going for about half that at avenue value — it wasn’t significantly standard for system builders whilst a funds CPU, principally as a result of it solely supported PCIe 3.0 interface. With no built-in graphics of its personal, it in contrast poorly to the Ryzen 5 5600G and Intel’s competitors at that value level.

If AMD plans to deliver the 5500X3D to market as a funds gaming processor, I might anticipate them to include assist for PCIe 4.0 graphics playing cards, and it might have to be notably cheaper than the prevailing six-core 5600X3D (at the moment a $200 unique at MicroCenter retailers within the US) with the intention to make any sense.
