Computex has been one of the most important events in the world of technology for years, but this year’s AMD announcements caused an especially loud stir.
Reds once again prove that instead of forcing users to constantly replace components, they prefer to build loyalty through unprecedented support for their platforms. While the memory and component market has been surprising in recent times with price turbulence, AMD focuses on stability and longevity, offering gamers solutions tailored to modern realities.
The biggest surprise and at the same time a beautiful gesture towards the community was the celebration of the anniversary of one of the most successful bases in the history of personal computers. AMD decided to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the AM4 socket by introducing a processor to its offer AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D in a special 10th Anniversary Edition. This is a move that will help breathe new life into millions of still popular, older computer sets.
The king of gaming returns for the 10th anniversary of AM4
The introduction of the anniversary edition of the processor is a direct response to the needs of people who are looking for an increase in frames per second in games, but do not want to invest in a completely new motherboard or expensive memory modules. The processor is based on the proven Zen 3 architecture and offers 8 cores and 16 threads. The key to its unrivaled gaming performance remains cache technology AMD 3D V-Cache, which in this model has as much as 96 MB. Thanks to this, the system drastically reduces delays, allowing the older platform to compete with newer designs without any problems. The new product will appear on store shelves at the end of June at a suggested price of $349.
However, the great news for fans of building PCs does not end there. AMD thinks far ahead and officially confirms the extension support for the newer AM5 platform until 2029. For anyone who plans to build a modern computer for years to come, this is a clear signal that purchasing a board with this socket guarantees the hassle-free possibility of replacing the processor with a newer architecture in the future, without the need for an expensive revolution inside the housing. Interestingly, the offer for AM5 will also include a new, more affordable model Ryzen 7 7700X3D equipped with 104 MB cache and boost clock up to 4.5 GHz. The system will debut in July at a price of $329.
Taipei also featured the premiere of a new graphics card – Radeon RX 9070 GRE based on the RDNA 4 architecture. Equipped with 12 GB of video memory, the card is expected to be a strong proposition in the mid-range segment, offering pleasant gameplay in 1440p resolution and smoothly exceeding the 100 frames per second barrier with ray tracing turned on. Amateurs of upscaling technology will also be happy with the upcoming update of the FSR technology, which in July will officially extend its support for the previous generation RDNA 3 systems. All this creates a coherent image of a manufacturer that respects the wallets of its customers and does not forget about gamers, regardless of what generation of equipment they use on a daily basis.
