Unlikely, probably. An R5 chip with a 3D cache might not attract buyers if it doesn’t outperform a 7700 in terms of speed or efficiency. It wouldn’t make sense for companies to dedicate resources to producing R5x3D chips when a cheaper alternative exists.
The Ryzen 5 5600X3D was recently revealed. The 5800X3D, which hasn't cleared quality checks, had two cores disabled. This approach is similar to how the 5600 and 5600X were built from the 5700X and 5800X, and the 5900X from the 5959X. The launch of the 7800X3D suggests a possible future release of the 7600X3D.
I've noticed the chatter but it's not certain. Someone should run a simulated 5600X3D by shutting down two cores on a 5800X3D and observe the results. It will vary depending on the game. Some prefer more than eight cores, others value clock speed more than cache, but for older or less demanding titles it might work well as a top six-core CPU. AMD could have a few 6-core Zen 3 chips left and would need a way to make them more appealing. Offering an X3D version could help. It could be intriguing if priced right—appealing to current AM4 users or budget builders who still can't upgrade to AM5 and DDR5.
All information comes from leaks and rumors that date back several months before the 5800X3D launches, immediately following the 7900 and 7950X3D releases, and now after the 7800X3D came out. If they appear, it would likely be a powerful budget e-sports CPU expanding many AM4-based systems—but I won’t wait to see it until I can test it myself.
I believe the 5600X remains a solid CPU choice. It's often discussed in less favorable circles because it doesn't sit at the top of the rankings, but when optimized, it delivers strong performance and handles high-end gaming well. The 5600X3D would still be a reasonable option for gaming, though I wouldn't consider purchasing it unless it reached 5GHz speeds.
I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. It seems there were some recent leaks, but I don't remember them clearly.
Uncertain about that, adding 3D cache seems tougher to produce. If I were purchasing a CPU now, I’d focus on the 5800X3D or 7800X3D, while the 78X3D at 400 might be a stretch—possibly around 275 if you’re being optimistic.
