Computex 2026: AMD launches "new" Ryzen 5800X3D for AM4 and 7700X3D for AM5

AMD today has released new octa-core 3D V-cache CPUs in the form of the new Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Ryzen 7 7700X3D for AM4 and AM5 respectively.

Following the release of its 3D V-cache CPUs for professional users in the form of the new 9965X3D and 9755X3D, AMD is once again back to releasing X3D chips for gamers. At its Computex 2026 keynote today alongside the Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Team Red also unveiled a couple of desktop processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5.

First up, we have the Ryzen 7 7700X3D for socket AM5. This is part of the Ryzen 7000 series (Raphael) lineup that's based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture. This part slots under the already popular Ryzen 7 7800X3D, known for its gaming prowess despite not belonging to the latest 9000 series.

As expected, spec-wise it is quite similar to the 7800X3D barring the core clocks. While the 7800X3D can boost up to 5 GHz from its nominal base of 4.2 GHz, the 7700X3D can reach 4.5 GHz from its base clock of 4 GHz. In the real world though, this may not mean much unless you set out to track FPS or data using performance tools.

If you notice in the above spec table, we have also listed the default memory speeds supported by the chips across various DIMM configurations. While fast, low-latency memory is generally recommended for AMD's CPUs, which is also why the company unveiled the new EXPO ULL feature, it's not a necessity in the case of X3D processors, thanks to the blob of L3 that's already on board.

Aside from the 7700X3D, AMD also unveiled the new Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition. While the 5800X3D itself is not a decade old (it was launched back in 2022), the company is celebrating 10 years of AM4 socket life with this new chip. Whether you like AMD or not, this is a very impressive feat, considering its main rival Intel has typically only stuck to one socket for just a couple of generations (around two to four years).

As such, from time to time, AMD has released new chips like the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. Perhaps a little surprisingly, the specifications of this new 5800X3D have remained unaltered from the original SKU. As such, performance should match it.

Regardless, AMD has provided numbers against the Ryzen 7 2700X (Zen+), 3700X (Zen 2), and 5800X (Zen 3 without 3D V-cache). Data versus Intel's 14900K has also been provided with both running DDR4-3600. It has to be said here that the Intel 14900K Raptor Lake chips also support faster DDR5 memory.

A rather interesting bit here is the pricing, as the more capable and newer 7700X3D AM5 part has been pegged lower than the 5800X3D, with the former coming in with an SEP (suggested etail price) of $329, while the latter carries a price tag of $349. While the AM4 part will be available from June 25, 2026, the AM5 CPU will be on shelves from July 16, 2026.
