A Decade of Dominance: AM4 Celebrates 10 Years
Ten years ago, AMD launched Socket AM4, and it became one of the most beloved platforms in gaming history. It’s rare for a CPU socket to remain relevant for an entire decade—a testament to AMD’s dedication to backward compatibility and long-term support
.
To honor this milestone, AMD is releasing the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition, bundled with Carbice® Ice Pad™, a premium thermal interface material designed for superior cooling performance. This wasn’t just a rebrand; AMD actually listened to gamers who wanted accessible access to their flagship 3D V-Cache technology.
The processor launches June 25 at just $349, making it an attractive option for gamers looking to extend their AM4 platform’s lifespan without breaking the bank.
AM5 Gets a Long-Term Commitment: Support Through 2029
Here’s where AMD really impresses. The company just extended Socket AM5 support through 2029, giving PC builders nearly five more years of platform longevity. This is massive for investment protection and upgradability.
Think about it—when you invest in an AM5 motherboard today, you’re not just buying for 2026; you’re buying into a platform that’ll remain relevant through the end of the decade. That’s confidence, and it’s exactly what gamers need.
Introducing Ryzen 7 7700X3D: 3D V-Cache for Everyone
The new Ryzen 7 7700X3D brings 3D V-Cache gaming performance to the AM5 platform with eight cores, 104MB of total cache, and boost speeds up to 4.5GHz. This processor is the perfect entry point for gamers transitioning from AM4 or building an AM5 system from scratch.
At $329 (available July 16), it’s competitively priced and offers exceptional gaming performance, especially paired with high-end graphics cards.
