AMD announces two budget gaming CPUs at Computex 2026: the Ryzen 7 7700X3D for AM5 at $329 launching July 16 with 8 cores/16 threads, 104 MB total cache, a 4.5 GHz boost, and 120W TDP; and the return of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D for AM4 at $349 on June 25, a 10th‑anniversary edition with 100 MB cache and a 4.5 GHz boost, offering AM4 users a cheaper upgrade path amid RAM shortages.
AMD today revived the Ryzen 7 5800X3D as a “10th Anniversary Edition” for AM4, a Zen 3 8-core/16-thread CPU with 96 MB of L3 cache, up to 4.5 GHz, no in-box cooler, and a $350 price with shipping starting June 25; it also launched the Ryzen 7 7700X3D for AM5, a Zen 4 8-core/16-thread CPU with the same 96 MB L3 and 3D V-Cache, priced at $330 and due July 16, with AMD not issuing initial gaming claims for this model. The pair highlights AMD’s strategy to offer high-cache options on both AM4 and AM5, targeting existing AM4 users and newer platform buyers alike.
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.
