AMD's Plan to Fix RAM Costs: Bring Back Bygone CPUs

1 min read

AMD is reissuing its 2022 Ryzen 7 5800X3D at $350, $100 less than its 2022 launch price, and launching the Ryzen 7 7700X3D at $330 on July 15. These older, eight-core CPUs are now available for AM5 motherboards, offering value amid high RAM costs and inflated resale prices. The 5800X3D, released before AM5 sockets, is now priced below newer Ryzen 7000-series chips due to memory cost pressures and market distortions.
