Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
AMD is re-releasing the Ryzen 7 5800X3D as a 10th Anniversary Edition for the AM4 platform, which was discontinued about a year ago. The return is driven by both the AM4 platform's tenth anniversary and surging DDR5 RAM prices (quadrupled since September 2025 due to AI hyperscaler demand), making the older AM4/DDR4 platform more attractive. An affordable X3D processor for AM5 boards is also being introduced.
