The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is reportedly toast, potentially closing the AM4 X3D era

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D has reportedly been retired, potentially bringing socket AM4 X3D gaming PCs to an end. This eight-core gaming CPU, with its powerful 3D V-cache technology, was only released in January 2024, but reports now suggest it has been discontinued, with retailer stock quickly diminishing.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D was one of the few socket AM4 X3D gaming CPUs still available since 5800X3D stock dried up last year. While AMD hasn’t formally announced the move, losing the 5700X3D would leave those with older gaming PCs no option but to either stick with their existing CPUs or upgrade to newer AM5 chips, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which is the top recommendation in our best gaming CPU guide.
