The company's headlining Computex 2026 announcement is the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition, a revival of the 2022-era CPU that ostensibly marks a decade for the AM4 platform. It's still the same Zen 3-based processor with eight cores and its namesake 96MB 3D V-Cache, but it comes bundled with a Carbice Ice Pad to preserve thermals "over time."

It will work with all AMD 400 and 500 Series motherboards, so you won't have to replace some of your existing investments. At the same time, AMD is bringing back the 7-series with the Ryzen 7 7700X3D. It's intended as an "accessible entry point" to AM5 and 3D V-Cache with eight cores, a 4.5GHz maximum boost clock, and 104MB of total cache. It will arrive July 16 for $329, and comes as AMD is promising new AM5-friendly upgrades and architectures through 2029.
