Overview
- AMD announced on Monday, June 1, 2026, that it is reissuing the Ryzen 7 5800X3D as a 10th Anniversary Edition for the AM4 socket and will sell it from June 25 for about €360.
- The company also introduced the AM5 Ryzen 7 7700X3D, an eight‑core X3D chip with a 120 W TDP and up to 4.5 GHz boost that will sit at a lower price point than higher‑end AM5 X3D models.
- AMD said it will keep developing processors for the AM5 platform through the end of 2029, signaling continued investment in AM5 motherboards and CPUs.
- To address DDR5 performance and cost pressures, AMD expanded its EXPO memory profiles with an 'EXPO Ultra Low Latency' option and expects EXPO ULL DDR5 modules from multiple manufacturers starting in June.
- Reporters and vendors linked the moves to a sharp rise in DDR5 prices driven by AI hyperscaler demand, and other companies used the same announcement window to unveil counteroffers for premium laptops and staged podcast features for YouTube Premium users.
