AMD is extending support for its AM5 socket through at least 2029, ensuring compatibility for future processors on the platform [1, 2, 3]. The company also announced a re-launch of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor as a 10th Anniversary Edition for the AM4 platform, set to go on sale June 25, 2026, at a suggested retail price of $349 [1, 2, 3]. This special edition of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D features 8 cores, between 96 and 100 MB of 3D V-Cache (a large L3 cache), and a boost clock speed of 4.5 GHz. While it is somewhat slower than other Ryzen 5000 CPUs in productivity tasks, it benefits gaming performance [1, 2, 3].
Following that release, AMD will launch the Ryzen 7 7700X3D on July 16, 2026, priced at $329 [2, 3]. This new AM5 socket processor offers 8 cores and 16 threads, 104 MB of cache, and a 120-watt thermal design power with a boost clock reaching 4.5 GHz. The Ryzen 7 7700X3D continues AMD’s use of 3D V-Cache to enhance performance in gaming and other workloads [2, 3].
Looking ahead, AMD is considering introducing a Ryzen 5 9600X3D processor later in 2026. This possible Zen 5 successor to the Ryzen 5 7600X3D is still in the planning stages, with details on pricing and performance yet to be finalized. David McAfee, AMD’s Ryzen and Radeon VP and GM, said the company is exploring options for additional products to meet ongoing system-building demands through the rest of the year [4].
The Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition will be available starting June 25 at $349, while the Ryzen 7 7700X3D launches July 16 at $329. These launches underscore AMD’s commitment to extending support for existing platforms alongside introducing new processors with enhanced caching technology [1, 2, 3].
