AMD expands the Ryzen 7000 family with the new Ryzen 7 7700X3D, a desktop processor designed for those who prioritize gaming above all else and want to leverage the advantages of the AM5 platform. Thanks to 3D V-Cache technology, the new model promises high performance in video games, alongside support for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 and the prospect of future upgrades guaranteed by the AM5 socket.

The Ryzen 7 7700X3D joins AMD's range of CPUs dedicated to gamers, with a configuration consisting of 8 Zen 4 cores and 16 threads. Built with a TSMC 5 nm manufacturing process, it integrates 104 MB of total cache, of which 96 MB is L3 cache achieved through second-generation AMD 3D V-Cache technology, a solution to improve performance in games that benefit from a larger amount of cache.
