Even more great news for fans of the 7600X3D is that recent benchmarks have shown it to be one heck of an efficient processor. It was recently uncovered that the 7600X3D was no longer going to be exclusive to the US and that got people excited about this “entry-level” gaming chip. Taking one look at the recent benchmarks from Tech Epiphany shows just how efficient AMD can be.
The budget X3D chip seems to be exclusive to just two retailers at the moment (Micro Center in the US and Mindfactory in Germany). We would love for it to become much more widespread, especially for gamers looking to benefit from AMD’s 3D V-Cache design on AM5 without having to fork out for a 7800X3D.
7600X3D gaming benchmarks posted online
Tech Epiphany over on X posted some gaming benchmark results for the 7600X3D. This CPU was tested in a few games, and the average was reported. It is not known what games the 7600X3D was tested in, but we can see some very promising results in terms of power efficiency.
A closer look reveals that the 7600X3D is actually somehow more efficient than the 7600 (non-X) by around 17W, which is pretty incredible considering that the 7600 is supposed to be the efficiency pick of the 7000 series. It’s a far cry away from the 14900K’s 170W consumption anyway, around 90W away! If you’re well into power efficiency then this might well be the CPU for you, if you can find one in your region. Providing the gaming benchmark results hold up.
X3D chips from AMD have cemented themselves as gaming beasts from the very start, the 5800X3D still holds a place in the hearts of many gamers for what it is set to achieve. If the 7600X3D has been able to build on this success and capitalize on it, such as the likes of the 7800X3D, then budget gamers are in for a treat. We wonder if this has anything to do with AMD’s senior VP renouncing the “king of the hill” strategy and opting to dominate the mainstream market instead.
Whatever the reason, whatever AMD is doing on the low end seems to be working, and even the 9000 series is beginning to thrive after a shaky launch with lower-than-expected performance, and limiting Windows updates. Everything seems to be on the up for AMD, well. everything except its power consumption.
