AMD re-releases the Ryzen 7 5800X3D for $349 on June 25 (a 10th‑anniversary AM4 edition) to boost affordable gaming builds, while rolling out the Radeon RX 9070 GRE worldwide at $549 with 12GB VRAM and 48 RDNA 4 compute units to temper GPU pricing; the company also plans a Ryzen 7 7700X3D for $329 and confirms extended AM5 motherboard support through 2029 amid ongoing memory shortages.
AMD will support AM5 through 2029, re-releases the AM4 hit 5800X3D AE to let users upgrade without swapping platforms, and launches the 7700X3D on AM5 as an affordable path to 3D V-Cache power, signaling a push to extend PC lifecycles amid rising hardware costs.
AMD announced at Computex that Socket AM5 will be supported through at least 2029, allowing future Ryzen CPUs (including Zen 6) and up to 24 cores on AM5 boards. Meanwhile AM4 remains active with the re-release of the Ryzen 5800X3D at $349 and the new Ryzen 7 7700X3D launching at $329, signaling a longer upgrade cycle and fewer complete system replacements for PC builders.
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 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.
AMD will re-release the Ryzen 7 5800X3D as the AM4 10th Anniversary Edition, using the same OPN as the original but in a PIB with commemorative artwork. It remains an 8-core/16-thread Zen 3 CPU with 3D V-Cache (96 MB L3 shared, 512 KB L2 per core), clocks 3.40 GHz base and 4.50 GHz boost, 105 W TDP, and DDR4/PCIe 4.0 support for Socket AM4. Pricing and availability have not been announced.
AMD has reportedly announced a new line of CPUs, the Ryzen 5000XT, based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture, which will be compatible with the existing AM4 platform. These CPUs are expected to offer increased clock speeds compared to their predecessors, potentially providing a boost to the old AM4 platform. While details are still speculative and an international launch is uncertain, there is potential for these new CPUs to be installed in older AM4 motherboards with a BIOS update, potentially revitalizing older systems.
AMD has quietly introduced the Ryzen 7 5700 processor, a non-G variant lacking graphics support, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock at 3.7 GHz and boost up to 4.6 GHz. Initial pricing leaks have also surfaced for the upcoming Ryzen 7 5700X3D, Ryzen 5 5600GT, and Ryzen 5 5500GT processors, with the Ryzen 7 8700G priced between $340 and $440, and the Ryzen 5 8600G and Ryzen 5 8500G ranging from $190 to $310. These prices are based on early listings and may not reflect AMD's intended retail prices. Additionally, preliminary price leaks suggest the Ryzen 7 5700X3D will be available in the US for $260 to $330, while the Ryzen 5 5600GT and 5500GT models are aimed at a sub-$200 price point.
