AMD Revives AM4, Ships 7700X3D, Extends AM5 Roadmap

At Computex 2026 AMD reinforced platform longevity and its X3D cache strategy by extending AM5 socket support through at least 2029–2030 while relaunching an AM4-era Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition. The company also unveiled the Ryzen 7 7700X3D for AM5 — an 8-core 3D V-Cache chip priced at $329 launching mid-July — targeting gamers and cache-sensitive workloads. By reviving a popular AM4 part and promising multiple future Zen generations on AM5, AMD aims to ease upgrade costs, preserve motherboard investment, and sustain competitive positioning globally even as leadership pursues cautious China engagement.
