A reliable hardware leaker claims AMD is preparing a budget Ryzen 7 7700X3D, an 8-core Zen 4 gaming CPU with 3D V-Cache, 96MB of L3 cache, 120W power, and a rumored $300 price.

A reliable hardware leaker claims AMD is preparing a budget Ryzen 7 7700X3D, an 8-core Zen 4 gaming CPU with 3D V-Cache, 96MB of L3 cache, 120W power, and a rumored $300 price. If accurate, the chip could deliver near-Ryzen 7 7800X3D gaming performance at slightly lower clock speeds, offering cost-conscious PC gamers a more affordable route into AMD’s X3D lineup. 4 Reviews ← exclude selected types ← exclude selected tags AMD is reportedly working on a budget-friendly Ryzen 7000 series X3D CPU for gamers that doesn’t break the bank while still delivering top-tier gaming performance in CPU-intensive titles. This rumor comes from a reliable hardware leaker who goes by "chi11eddog." According to the leaker, AMD is currently preparing to launch the Ryzen 7 7700X3D, a brand-new Zen 4-based CPU that will use the company’s 3D V-Cache technology. That would make it the latest entry in the Ryzen 7000 X3D family, particularly aimed at budget-conscious gamers who don’t want to burn a hole in their wallets. It’s rumored that the Ryzen 7 7700X3D will be priced at $300 retail, potentially making it one of the best price-to-performance CPUs in the gaming market and helping to make AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology accessible to a wider audience. Some speculate that AMD may be using leftover or repurposed chips to create this budget-friendly processor. The leaker’s post on X simply listed some key specs for the rumored AMD CPU: “R7 7700X3D, 120W, 8C16T, 96MB.” Compared with the incumbent Zen 4-based X3D octacore CPU, the Ryzen 7 7700X3D appears very similar on paper to the popular 7800X3D. Both chips feature eight cores, sixteen threads, and a large 96MB of L3 cache (32MB standard with 64MB stacked on top via 3D V-Cache). However, the difference lies primarily in clock speeds.

Commerce Minister Wang Wentao is expected in Brussels for crunch talks with EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic on June 29 and 30, as trade tensions between the sides threaten to reach fever pitch. Wang’s trip – confirmed by people familiar with the planning – will come on the heels of several top-level debates in the Belgian capital about how the bloc should tackle the perceived threat of an industrial shock to its economy attributed to China’s policies. Next week, the European Commission will hold an orientation debate on China policy, with trade officials expected to make the case for a new weapon to deal with the impact of Chinese overcapacity. Advertisement And in June, China will be on the agenda of the European Council, made up of the EU’s 27 member state leaders. They will be asked to approve a more assertive approach to Beijing, which could lead to an uptick in the use of emergency safeguard measures, as well as support for the new overcapacity instrument.

In April, the South China Morning Post reported that he was to visit before the EU’s summer break.

Toyota Motor Corp. ’s finance unit set terms for a ¥100 billion ($629 million) bond sale, with the five-year coupon climbing to the company’s highest for yen-denominated bonds since its 1999 debut as rising yields on Japanese government bonds push up funding costs. Toyota Finance Corp. priced ¥42 billion of two-year notes, ¥16.5 billion of three-year debt and ¥41.5 billion of five-year bonds. Coupons were set at 1.654%, 1.876% and 2.287%, respectively, according to lead manager Daiwa Securities Co. Borrowing costs in Japan’s corporate bond market are rising as Middle East tensions and higher global rates boost yields. Bloomberg’s Japan corporate bond index has been on a clearer upward trajectory since March. Even Toyota Finance, rated AAA by Rating and Investment Information Inc. (R&I), hasn’t been immune. The five-year coupon rose sharply from 1.493% on the company’s previous bond sale in October. Toyota Finance provides auto loans, leasing and credit-card services. Rising funding costs could eventually translate into higher auto-loan costs for consumers. Higher funding costs could feed through to auto-loan rates and increase the burden on households, according to Yuuki Fukumoto , senior financial researcher at NLI Research Institute. “Particularly in rural areas, where people cannot live without cars, the impact could intensify as wage growth remains sluggish and gasoline prices continue to rise,” Fukumoto said.

European Union economy chief Valdis Dombrovskis said the European Central Bank will need to address the continent’s rising inflation due to the war in Iran. “It’s clear that the ECB will have to respond to the increase in inflation,” he told reporters in Nicosia, Cyprus as he arrived for a meeting of EU economic ministers, adding that the ECB remained independent to make its own decisions. Dombrovskis’ comments come a day after the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, cut its growth and raised its inflation forecasts for 2026. The commission forecasts showed that the euro area will slow markedly while suffering the fastest inflation since 2023 as it succumbs to the energy-cost surge from the Iran war. That jump in price pressures will likely lead to an ECB rate hike at the central bank’s June meeting, according to economists and markets. Still, Dombrovskis highlighted the resilience of the EU’s economy and repeated calls for the region to move away from its dependency on fossil fuels. Eurogroup chief Kyriakos Pierrakakis echoed Dombrovskis’ confidence in the bloc’s economy, but stressed that short-term policy measures are needed to help address rising prices. “We shouldn’t allow this energy crisis to metastasize,” he said. Broadly, ministers agreed that government interventions should remain temporary, as leaders struggle to help consumers and businesses pay their energy bills. “It’s the worst economic situation we can get into,” said Lithuanian Finance Minister Kristupas Vaitiekunas . “We must choose between helping the economy to grow or helping the prices to be more stable.” Italy and Spain are among member states pushing for more leeway on EU fiscal rules to allow additional government support. “The longer the conflict lasts, the more we will feel its impact, not only on prices but also on economic activity,” Spanish Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo said. “I understand that the commission will remain flexible in light of the impacts we may see, in order to...

Paul McCartney led an all-star line-up for the final episode of The Late Show as frontman Stephen Colbert bowed out after broadcaster CBS cancelled his show as it courted US President Donald Trump. But one A-lister who eluded the comic to the end was the pope, whom Colbert, a devout Catholic, had long touted as his dream guest. “The pope, who was definitely my guest tonight, has cancelled,” Colbert joked, blaming a dispute over hot dogs before McCartney appeared to rapturous cheers. Advertisement The show, which Colbert has hosted since 2015, was axed after he mocked the broadcaster for a US$16 million settlement with Trump for allegedly “maliciously” editing an interview with his Democratic election rival Kamala Harris. Colbert called it a “big fat bribe”. Advertisement CBS has insisted the decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the ratings leader in the time slot, was purely financial - and that it was a coincidence the move came as CBS parent company Paramount lobbied for government approval of its US$8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media.

The floaty, feminine aesthetic being worn by young pop stars like Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter has been around since the 1960s. So why all the fuss? • Don’t get Fashion Statement delivered to your inbox? Sign up here In the music video for her recent single Drop Dead, pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo saunters beguilingly through the ornate rooms of the Palace of Versailles, her eyes fixed on the camera. It is an all round soft-girl production, shot by Petra Collins who captures a hazy teenage aesthetic close to a carbon copy of Sofia Coppola’s 2006 film, Marie Antoinette. But when the video aired last month, it was met with instant backlash online – not for her halting tourists from visiting the world heritage site for the day, but for Rodrigo’s Pinterest-inspired, pastel blue, babydoll ensemble. The outfit – a floaty off-the-shoulder Chloé pre-fall 2026 babydoll top, styled with silky bloomers peeking out underneath and white pointelle knee socks – did not impress the keyboard warriors (likely, bots), who accused the singer of infantilising herself and invoking a ‘Lolita’ aesthetic. A few weeks later, Rodrigo donned a similar look (pictured top) on stage in Barcelona for Spotify’s Billions Club Live concert: a pink and white floral puff-sleeve babydoll top with matching ruffled bloomers from the small brand Génération78, offset by chunky black knee-high Dr Marten boots, equal parts soft and severe.

A tiger on the loose among garden allotments. Panicked residents summoning armed police ill-equipped to deal with a dangerous predator. And, behind it all, Germany’s self-proclaimed “Tiger Queen” and her private menagerie. In startling scenes over the weekend in the eastern town of Schkeuditz, near Leipzig airport, the mix proved fatal for a big cat named Sandokan and left a keeper seriously injured. On Sunday afternoon, a warm spring day when many hobby gardeners were tending to their flower beds, the tiger attacked a 72-year-old man at an enclosure kept by the former tamer Carmen Zander and escaped. View image in fullscreen A banner hangs outside Zander’s enclosure in Schkeuditz. Photograph: Heiko Rebsch/dpa Picture Alliance GmbH/Avalon Officers alerted to the scene by panicked neighbours tracked the animal down to a nearby allotment complex and killed it about 30 minutes after it had escaped “to prevent danger to those present”, police said. Witnesses said officers climbed on to the roof of a car and fired three shots at the tiger, which had been lying just a few metres from a small fence bordering the gardens. “Our paradise was shattered,” Silvia Kaempf, 68, who has a shed in the neighbouring allotment association, told local media. The keeper, who police said had been in the tiger enclosure “with permission”, is reported to still be in hospital with severe scratches and bites and is unable to answer investigators’ questions. A spokesperson said the police did not have a veterinarian or a stun gun at their disposal at the time of the escape, leaving only lethal means to restore public order. Prosecutors said no inquiry was planned against the officers who killed the animal. But the regional public prosecutor’s office said it had opened an investigation into suspected negligent bodily harm against Zander, 52, over possible breaches of safety protocols. The mayor of the Dölzig district where Zander lives with the tigers, Thomas Druskat, called for the immediate re...
