AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D now available for $249

Together with the new Ryzen 8000G desktop APUs based on the acclaimed Phoenix architecture plus the Ryzen 5000GT refreshes for the older 5000G series, AMD also just launched the Ryzen 7 5700X3D model that is only 400 MHz slower than the 5800X3D with the same 8x Zen 3 core configuration. Unfortunately, this model was not sent out to reviewers in the West, but some well-connected Chinese reviewers were able to do some tests, pitting it against Intel’s i5-12600K and the i5-13600K.

Against the i5-12600K(F), the 5700X3D appears to dominate all gaming tests. On the other hand, the battle with the i5-13600K(F) is more balanced. In fast-paced competitive FPS games like CS: GO 2, the AMD processor shows up to a 25% lead. In more resource-intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077, however, the 5700X3D lags behind by up to 18%.

According to Videocardz, these figures should amount to 7-9% lower performance compared to the 5800X3D model that is currently $59 more expensive. Amazon is selling the 5700X3D at $249 now and the price could drop close to $200 with occasional discounts, making it a better choice compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X3D that is exclusively available at Microcenter for $199.99. A Ryzen 5 5500X3D model is expected to launch later this year.
