SANTA CLARA, Calif

Today, AMD (NASDAQAMD) announ­ced the pri­cing and avai­la­bi­li­ty of the AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D pro­ces­sor. At the cut­ting edge of inno­va­ti­on and gam­ing per­for­mance, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D pro­ces­sor is the first Ryzen pro­ces­sor to fea­ture AMD 3D V‑Cache™ tech­no­lo­gy. With this indus­try-lea­ding tech­no­lo­gy, the 5800X3D deli­vers 15% more gam­ing per­for­mance com­pared to pro­ces­sors wit­hout sta­cked cache tech­no­lo­gy1, making it the world’s most advan­ced desk­top gam­ing pro­ces­sor2. AMD is also announ­cing a new stack of Ryzen 7, 5, and 3 Series pro­ces­sors and expan­ded chip­set com­pa­ti­bi­li­ty, giving PC enthu­si­asts even more opti­ons for crea­ting tru­ly cus­to­mi­zed gam­ing experiences.

Whe­ther you’re an ear­ly adop­ter see­king the ulti­ma­te in gam­ing per­for­mance with the first Ryzen pro­ces­sor fea­turing AMD 3D V‑Cache tech­no­lo­gy or a new gamer buil­ding your first rig, you can find a best-in-class expe­ri­ence with AMD,” said Saeid Mosh­kela­ni, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Cli­ent busi­ness unit, AMD. “With today’s announce­ment AMD is offe­ring users the power of choice by brin­ging lea­der­ship gam­ing per­for­mance to all levels of sys­tem builds.”

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Pricing and Availability

At CES 2022, AMD announ­ced the Ryzen 7 5800X3D pro­ces­sor, an 8‑core pro­ces­sor that is the first to fea­ture AMD’s 3D V‑Cache tech­no­lo­gy, deli­ve­ring the fas­test 1080p gam­ing across sel­ect titles when com­pared to others in the mar­ket3. Today, AMD announ­ced this new pro­ces­sor will be on-shelf glo­bal­ly begin­ning April 20, start­ing at an SEP of $449 USD.

New Mainstream AMD Ryzen Desktop Processors

AMD is laun­ching a series of new desk­top pro­ces­sors, lever­aging the estab­lished power of the “Zen 3” and “Zen 2” core archi­tec­tures. The­se main­stream pro­ces­sors are the ide­al solu­ti­on for new PC builds, offe­ring up to eight cores and 16 threads and 36 MB of cache in the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X pro­ces­sor. All new Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 desk­top pro­ces­sors announ­ced today are bund­led with an AMD Wraith Ste­alth coo­ler and are expec­ted to be available begin­ning April 4.
