AMD accidentally revealed its upcoming Ryzen 5 9600X3D processor on an official driver page. The company appears to be working on this budget version of their 3D V-Cache chips. Computer makers will position this six-core processor below the more expensive eight-core models.
The new chip uses Zen 5 technology and comes with twelve processing threads. AMD stacks 64 MB of extra cache memory on top of the main processor die. This brings total cache memory to 96 MB, which helps games and work programs run faster.
Power usage should match the regular 9600X at 65 watts. The processor can boost speeds up to 5.4 GHz during demanding tasks. AMD built this chip to balance performance with energy efficiency for mainstream users.
The 9600X3D gets 6 MB of L2 cache compared to 8 MB on higher-end models. AMD has not announced when this processor will hit stores or how much it will cost. The accidental listing suggests the company is getting ready to launch this more affordable gaming chip soon.
