AMD Announces Ryzen 7 7700X3D, Launching July 16 at $329
The new chip fills a price gap in the 7000-series X3D lineup, offering 8-core gaming performance at a lower clock speed and price than the popular 7800X3D, while the AM5 support extension through 2029 strengthens AMD's platform longevity argument against Intel.

AMD announced the Ryzen 7 7700X3D, an 8-core, 16-thread CPU with 3D V-Cache, launching July 16 at $329. The company also revealed a Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition for the AM4 platform and extended Socket AM5 support to 2029.
The Ryzen 7 7700X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread part based on the Zen4 architecture, with a base clock of 4GHz and a boost clock up to 4.5GHz. Its 3D V-Cache stacks L3 cache vertically, yielding 104MB total cache. AMD positions it as a lower-cost alternative to the 7800X3D, achieved by reducing clock speeds while keeping the same core count. The chip arrives July 16 at $329 (around ¥52,000 in Japan).
Separately, AMD announced a Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition for the AM4 platform, launching June 25 at $349, bundled with a Carbice Ice Pad thermal material. The company also extended Socket AM5 support to 2029, up from the previously stated 2027 minimum, letting users upgrade CPUs without replacing motherboards.
