AMD Reissues Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition as Scalpers Push Prices Higher

AMD says the re-release uses a revised bonding process and plans continued production to help ease tight retail supply

Overview

  • AMD has re-released the Ryzen 7 5800X3D as a 10th Anniversary Edition with the same core design but a slightly different bonding process, and it carries a $350 MSRP.
  • Retail availability was uneven on launch, with brief online stock, Micro Center offering the chip only in in‑store bundles, and many buyers unable to complete checkout.
  • Scalpers rapidly relisted units on eBay at steep markups, with most asking above $600 and some sold listings reported around $540–$585.
  • Tom’s Hardware’s re-review finds the chip still leads DDR4 gaming workloads but lags in productivity and notes it will test a 10th Anniversary sample to check for any thermal or power differences from the new bonding.
  • The chip is most attractive to users already on AM4 motherboards with DDR4 memory, while buyers who must upgrade to a new motherboard or DDR5 have stronger alternatives in current Intel and AMD CPUs.
