The leaked Ryzen 7 5800X3D AM4 10th Anniversary Edition appears to have identical specifications to those of the original. Therefore, the new version isn’t a refresh, as it doesn't bring any upgrades. Instead, it's more of a celebratory edition from AMD, presenting the same tried-and-true silicon with a special sticker. While the Ryzen 7 5800X3D AM4 10th Anniversary Edition's internals remain unchanged, AMD could take the opportunity to make this anniversary edition unique by offering it in exclusive packaging to mark a decade of the AM4 platform.
Despite being four years old, which is a long time in the fast-paced world of processors, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D continues to hold its own in gaming. The chip's 3D V-Cache has helped it to stay relevant with modern rivals. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D delivers gaming performance comparable to the Core Ultra 5 245K and the Ryzen 5 9600X , one of the latest entries in AMD’s Ryzen family.
The Ryzen 7 5800X3D debuted at $449 four years ago. The octa-core processor has now been out of circulation for approximately a year and a half. During its final months on shelves, the chip was retailing for $329, 27% off its original MSRP. The all-time historic low price was $268. Now, with the teaser of the AM4 10th Anniversary Edition, the burning question is what price tag AMD will attach to this special release. Given that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a product of TSMC’s 7nm FinFET and Globalfoundries’ 12nm process nodes, both of which are more mature and cost-effective compared to today’s bleeding-edge manufacturing processes, there’s reason to believe AMD could offer the AM4 10th Anniversary Edition at a highly competitive price.
