AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D review - peak frame rates for under $300

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D should have been one of the most exciting CPU launches in some time, as this relatively budget chip brings AMD's game-performance-enhancing 3D V-Cache tech to a new low price point on its AM5 platform. However, while its gaming performance is very solid, it's not a particularly cheap option and is weak for non-gaming tasks. This balance of power means the 7500X3D still earns a place on our best gaming CPU guide, but not as a value champion, as such, or an all-around performer. Instead, if you're simply after peak frame rates, particularly for competitive gaming where frame rates push well beyond 300fps, this chip delivers the X3D goods for far less than any other modern AMD CPU. While the 7500X3D came out at the end of 2025, our delayed review means we've had the chance to compare it to Intel's two new price-competing options, the 270K Plus and 250K Plus. Read on to see how they all stack up. Read the rest of the story...
