AMD Had to Re-Engineer the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition Due to the Original Fab Process No Longer Being Available

[Peter_Brosdahl]

While the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition may share the exact specifications with the original model, there is a notable change in its manufacturing process. Those who may have believed that AMD simply flipped the switch to restart fabbing of the iconic processor should know that is not the case, and the chip […]

Pretty insane that they thought the effort was necessary for an old Zen3 chiplet rather than doing something slightly more ambitious and useful like getting 7500X3D backported to AM4.

Maybe they were sitting on a huge inventory of Zen 3 CCDs?

People don't have money for new hardware so they just keep shilling 3 gen old hardware... sounds right to me. Gotta make money somehow.

Hey, I've still got one of the originals running with a RTX 5090 and it's doing well. Sure my 9800X3D is a bit better in various ways but I'm very impressed with how the 5800X3D is holding up.

One of my clients grabbed a 5700X3D at the end of 2024 so he's happy about that. His brother, another one of my clients, missed out on that. He had been hoping for the 5800X3D to come back. Now it is, but it's too expensive forr him. So he's thinking he will probably just grab a Micro Center bundle and move to AM5. As for me, @Peter_Brosdahl hooked me up with my 5800X3D, and I am very grateful.

I didn't realize it was gonna be so much trouble for AMD to bring it back though. Props to them for the effort.

Nothing wrong with the 5800X3D yesterday, today or tomorrow. It still holds its own amongst the top contenders.

Nothing wrong with the 5700X3D either. Still a beast. I gave mine to my nephew. With a 4070 Ti Super it rocks any game quite well.
