"Return of the King": AMD Revives the Legendary Ryzen 7 5800X3D for the AM4 Platform's Tenth Anniversary

Amidst ongoing memory shortages, AMD decided to remind everyone of the phenomenal longevity of the AM4 socket and introduced a special anniversary re-release of its main gaming hit from the past – the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition.

This chip was once the first model with vertical 3D V-Cache and literally revolutionized the concept of gaming performance. Now, the company is bringing back the "king" to celebrate the platform's ten-year anniversary and offer owners of older systems a powerful final upgrade option.

The technical specifications are identical to the original model: 8 cores, 16 threads, a base clock of 3.4 GHz, and a maximum boost of up to 4.5 GHz with a TDP of 105 W. The Zen 3 die carries a total of 96 MB of L3 cache.

Since this uses first-generation 3D V-Cache technology, manual overclocking is still locked. However, the manufacturer will include a pleasant bonus in the box with the anniversary edition – a premium Carbice Ice Pad carbon thermal pad, designed for efficient heat dissipation over a long period.

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition will go on international sale on June 25 at a recommended price of $349.
