Overview
- AMD confirmed on Monday, June 1, 2026, that it will support the AM5 socket with new Ryzen processors through 2029 and announced a set of relaunches and lower-priced X3D models.
- The Ryzen 7 5800X3D '10th Anniversary Edition' for AM4 returns at $349, ships June 25, keeps the original eight-core Zen 3 specs and is bundled with a Carbice Ice thermal pad.
- AMD will release the Ryzen 7 7700X3D for AM5 at about $329 in mid-July as a downclocked, lower-cost variant of the 7800X3D that retains the same cache and core count.
- The Radeon RX 9070 GRE, previously sold mainly in China, is becoming widely available starting June 1 with a $549 price tag for international markets.
- AMD frames these steps as a response to high DDR5 and component costs that have pushed buyers toward DDR4 and inflated reseller prices, but independent benchmarking and real-world retail pricing are still needed to judge the value of the new SKUs.
