Yet another CPU with 3D V-Cache is apparently on the way from AMD, namely the Ryzen 7 7700X3D. A recent leak claims to have the skinny on this chip’s specifications, suggesting it won’t be a massive departure from the Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
Regular hardware leaker chi11eddog (g01d3nm4ng0) shared alleged specifications for the unannounced 7700X3D on X. In their post, they claim the CPU will rock eight Zen 4 cores and 16 threads, along with 96MB of L3 cache and 120W TDP. In terms of clock speeds, we’re apparently looking at a 4.0GHz base frequency, boosting to 4.5GHz.

All those specifications mirror the 7800X3D, save frequency. If these rumours hold water, then the 7700X3D will be 0.2GHz slower on base clock and 0.5GHz slower in terms of boost clock. AMD has used clock speed to differentiate prior releases in the same category, such as the Ryzen 5 7500X3D and 7600X3D, so this strategy makes sense.
Potential pricing for a 7700X3D is hard to pin down, as Ryzen 7000-series CPU prices have fallen greatly in cost relative to their MSRP since release. At the time of writing, the 7800X3D has cost under $400 for the past six months, so I’d expect the 7700X3D asking price to fall somewhere in the $300-350 range.

As such, while the prospect of a 7700X3D may not be as exciting on paper as the likes of AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, it should provide better bang for buck than the 7800X3D. Here’s hoping AMD doesn’t lock the processor behind some arbitrary regional exclusivity, as we saw with the 7600X3D.
With Computex 2026 just around the corner, the trade show seems like the most obvious place to formally announce such a processor. Club386 will be on the ground, so make sure you’re following us on Google News so you don’t miss any of the cool tech we sniff out.
