AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D Spotted in UK Retail Listing Ahead of CES 2026
A new AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D processor has appeared in a UK retail listing, signaling the potential launch of another entry-level X3D CPU at CES 2026. The listing, highlighted by hardware leaker @momomo_us, includes the OPN code 100-000001904, confirming its place within AMD’s “Raphael” series. This upcoming model is expected to offer 6 cores and 12 threads, a total cache of 96 MB (comprising 32 MB L3 cache and 64 MB 3D V-Cache), and a 65 W TDP. Early details suggest boost clock speeds will likely fall below 4.7 GHz, positioning it around 300-400 MHz lower than the Ryzen 5 7600X3D.
If these specifications hold true, the Ryzen 5 7500X3D could become AMD’s most affordable 3D V-Cache processor to date, targeting budget-conscious gamers seeking enhanced gaming performance without a premium price tag.
Expanding the AMD X3D Lineup
The Ryzen 5 7500X3D would join AMD’s expanding lineup of X3D CPUs, which already includes the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, Ryzen 9 7950X3D, and Ryzen 5 7600X3D. Industry rumors point to several Zen 5 X3D refreshes set for announcement at CES 2026, such as the Ryzen 7 9850X3D and the highly anticipated Ryzen 9 9950X3D2. The latter is expected to serve as AMD’s next flagship, featuring 16 cores, 32 threads, a massive 192 MB of L3 cache, and a 200 W TDP.
While there is no official confirmation regarding the global availability of the Ryzen 5 7500X3D, AMD’s history with region-specific launches—such as the Ryzen 5 5600X3D—suggests that broader distribution could be on the horizon. As AMD continues to expand its X3D family, the introduction of more accessible models like the 7500X3D reflects the company’s commitment to delivering high-performance gaming CPUs across a range of price points.
