AMD Keeps AM4 Pulse Alive: Reissues Old CPUs and New GPU To Ease RAM Costs
TL;DR Summary
AMD is extending the AM4 era through 2029 and reviving older CPUs to combat rising RAM costs: the Ryzen 7 5800X3D will reappear at about $350, and a Ryzen 7 7700X3D priced around $330 hits July 15, while the Radeon RX 9070 GRE is launching in the US at $550 with 12GB of VRAM. This strategy aims to offer budget-friendly sidegrades rather than full upgrades, helping gamers stuck with high RAM prices and older platforms while AM5 remains the future.
