Overview
- The Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which leaker HXL said Thursday would return as an AM4 “10th Anniversary” edition, is still unconfirmed by AMD.
- Leaked material points to the same specs as the 2022 chip with 8 cores, 16 threads, a 4.5 GHz boost, and 100 MB total cache at a 105 W TDP.
- Amazon is taking pre-orders for the new Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 at $999, and AMD told Tom’s Hardware its suggested e-tailer price remains $899 with retail launch set for April 22.
- A 5800X3D comeback would let AM4 owners keep their DDR4 boards and memory, offering a simple gaming-focused upgrade without a full platform switch.
- Outlets note X3D processors are low-volume halo parts, which can push retailers to mark up prices and could limit how widely any anniversary-edition 5800X3D is sold.
