AMD’s Computex 2026 announcements focused less on brand-new hardware and more on extending the life of existing products, unveiling the Ryzen 7 5800X3D Anniversary Edition, the Ryzen 7 7700X3D, and the global release of the Radeon RX 9070 GRE.
Ryzen 7 5800X3D Returns
The biggest surprise was the return of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, AMD’s pioneering 3D V-Cache processor that originally launched in 2022 and was discontinued in 2024.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the AM4 platform, AMD is bringing the chip back as an Anniversary Edition.
Key specifications:
8 cores / 16 threads
3D V-Cache technology
Compatible with existing AM4 motherboards
DDR4 memory support
Includes a Carbice Ice Pad thermal interface

Price: $349 Availability: June 25
The processor remains attractive for users who want to upgrade older AM4 systems without replacing their motherboard and memory.
Ryzen 7 7700X3D Targets Value Gamers
AMD also introduced the Ryzen 7 7700X3D, essentially a slightly lower-clocked version of the highly successful 7800X3D.
Compared to the 7800X3D:
Boost clock reduced from 5.0GHz to 4.5GHz
Base clock reduced from 4.2GHz to 4.0GHz
Same core count and cache configuration
Price: $329 Availability: July 16
The chip uses the AM5 platform and DDR5 memory. AMD also reaffirmed that AM5 support will continue through 2029, providing a long upgrade path for current users.
Radeon RX 9070 GRE Goes Global
On the graphics side, AMD announced the worldwide launch of the Radeon RX 9070 GRE (Golden Rabbit Edition), previously available only in China.

Specifications include:
48 Compute Units
12GB GDDR6 memory
192-bit memory bus
18Gbps memory speed
2220MHz game clock
AMD claims the RX 9070 GRE delivers roughly 21% better gaming performance than the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB.
Price: $549 Availability: June 2
Pricing Summary
Product Price Availability
Ryzen 7 5800X3D Anniversary Edition $349 June 25
Ryzen 7 7700X3D $329 July 16
Radeon RX 9070 GRE $549 June 2
Rather than pushing entirely new architectures, AMD’s Computex strategy appears focused on extracting more value from proven products while supporting both its long-running AM4 platform and newer AM5 ecosystem. For gamers looking to upgrade without rebuilding an entire PC, these launches may be more practical than revolutionary.
