“Ryzen 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition” can help you avoid paying for a new PC.

The 5800X3D was the first of AMD’s X3D releases, and it comes with a lot of compromises compared to Ryzen chips. It does not support many types of overclocking, and the basis is the increased clock speed, which is several hundred MHz lower than the standard Ryzen 5800X. If you’re not planning on splurging on a fast chip, the latest GPU from Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 40- or 50-series or AMD’s Radeon 9070 XT, a standard Ryzen 7 chip in the mid-range 5700 or 5800 will give you value for your money.

But for people with a high-end GPU who don’t want to pay the high prices of today’s DDR5 memory, the re-release of the 5800X3D can help stretch the old Socket AM4 system by just a few years.

AMD has not yet announced pricing or availability for this chip, but the availability of retail products suggests that its launch is imminent. An Indian dealer listed the chips at around $310, though we took this with a grain of salt due to the constant disruptions in commodity prices, oil prices, chip shortages, etc. Used models of the 5800X3D start between $450 and $500 on eBay as of this writing, so anything lower than that would be a relative bargain, as long as AMD can keep the chip.
