AMD revives Ryzen 7 5800X3D with new 10th Anniversary Edition and more
AMD’s AM4 platform is officially celebrating its 10th anniversary, and despite the arrival of AM5, the company is showing that it still has plenty of life left. With many PC gamers looking for affordable upgrade paths, AM4 remains an attractive option thanks to low motherboard costs, inexpensive DDR4 memory, and a vast ecosystem that has supported more than 125 Ryzen processors across over 500 motherboards during the past decade.
To mark the occasion, AMD has announced the return of one of its most popular gaming CPUs: the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition. This special release uses the same specifications as the original Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which was discontinued in 2023, but arrives with commemorative packaging and includes a sheet of Carbice Ice Pad thermal material. As before, no stock cooler is included.
Built on AMD’s Zen 3 architecture, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D features 8 cores, 16 threads, boost clocks up to 4.5GHz, and 96MB of L3 cache thanks to AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology. AMD continues to market it as the fastest gaming processor available for DDR4-based platforms.
To support that claim, AMD compared the 5800X3D against Intel’s Core i9-14900K running with DDR4-3600 memory. According to the company’s internal testing, the Ryzen chip delivered an average gaming performance advantage of around 10%, reinforcing its reputation as the premier gaming CPU for older DDR4 systems. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition will launch on June 25 with a price tag of $350.
AMD also used the occasion to formally introduce the Ryzen 7 7700X3D. Positioned between the AM4-based 5800X3D and the newer Zen 5-powered Ryzen 7 9850X3D, the 7700X3D is aimed at gamers seeking strong performance on the AM5 platform without stepping up to AMD’s latest flagship offerings. The Ryzen 7 7700X3D features 8 cores, 16 threads, a boost clock of up to 4.5GHz, and 96MB of L3 cache utilizing 3D V-Cache technology.
Compared to the discontinued Ryzen 7 7800X3D, the new chip features lower clock speeds, with base clocks dropping from 4.2GHz to 4.0GHz and boost clocks falling from 5.0GHz to 4.5GHz. It is based on the Zen 4 architecture and will be available starting July 16 for $330, making it the most affordable X3D processor currently available for AM5 builders. AMD has not yet released official gaming performance figures for the new processor.
