Full description and specifications

96MB of 3D V-Cache on a six-core — the cheapest way into AMD's gaming-specific silicon.

Quick Specs

  • 6 cores / 12 threads, 4.0GHz base, up to 4.5GHz boost
  • 102MB total cache (6MB L2 + 96MB L3 with 3D V-Cache)
  • 65W TDP, AM5 socket, DDR5 dual channel
  • PCIe 5.0, Radeon graphics on board
  • No cooler included

Why the cache matters more than the clock

3D V-Cache stacks extra L3 memory directly on top of the cores, taking this chip from 32MB to 96MB. Games hold far more of their working data right next to the CPU, which cuts the trips out to system RAM that cause stutter and frame-time spikes. The result is a chip whose modest 4.5GHz boost badly understates how it performs in games — in cache-hungry titles like simulators, strategy games and large open worlds, it punches well above chips with much higher clocks.

Gaming first, everything else second

The trade for that cache is clock speed: 4.5GHz boost is low by current standards, so anything that isn't cache-sensitive — video encoding, rendering, compiling — runs slower here than on a 9600X. Six cores also limits heavy multitasking. Buy the 7500X3D if the machine is for playing games. If it's a mixed work-and-play PC, a 9600X or Ryzen 7 9700X is the more balanced buy.

FEATURES:

  • 96MB L3 via AMD 3D V-Cache — triple a standard Ryzen 5
  • Big frame-rate gains in cache-sensitive games
  • 65W TDP keeps it cool and quiet
  • PCIe 5.0 on the AM5 socket
  • Integrated Radeon graphics for display-out

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Model: AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D (100-100001904WOF)
  • Cores / Threads: 6 / 12
  • Base Clock: 4.0 GHz
  • Max Boost Clock: Up to 4.5 GHz
  • L2 Cache: 6 MB
  • L3 Cache: 96 MB (AMD 3D V-Cache)
  • Integrated Graphics: AMD Radeon Graphics (2 GPU cores)
  • Default TDP: 65 W
  • Socket: AM5
  • Process Node: TSMC 5nm FinFET (CPU cores)
  • Memory: DDR5, dual channel, up to 128 GB
  • PCI Express: PCIe 5.0
  • Unlocked for Overclocking: Yes
  • Bundled Cooler: Not included
  • Warranty: 3 Year

WHAT'S IN THE BOX:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D processor
  • Documentation and case badge
  • Cooler sold separately

Why AMD?

3D V-Cache is AMD's own technology and has no equivalent from Intel — it's the reason X3D chips top gaming charts. Every AMD processor from AZonline is genuine boxed stock carrying a 3 Year warranty.

Questions

Before you buy

Which motherboards will this CPU fit?
It uses the AM5 socket, so it needs a motherboard with a matching socket. Sockets are not cross-compatible - a chip will not physically fit a board built for a different one. Every motherboard we list shows its socket on the Specifications tab, and it is worth checking the board maker’s support list for a BIOS update if the board is from an earlier generation than the chip.
How many cores and threads does it have?
6 cores and 12 threads. Cores do the work; threads are the number of jobs the chip can keep in flight at once. Games lean on a handful of fast cores, while rendering, compiling and video export scale with the total count.
What sort of cooler does it need?
It is rated at 65W TDP, which is the heat a cooler has to carry away under sustained load. Match or beat that figure with the cooler you choose, and check the What’s in the box list above - some processors ship with a cooler, some do not. Our PC Builder only offers coolers that fit the socket you have picked.
Do I need a separate graphics card with it?
No - this processor has integrated graphics, so it will drive a display on its own. You still want a graphics card for gaming or GPU-accelerated creative work, but the machine will boot and run without one.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
