AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D might have reached end-of-life

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D earned a reputation as one of the best value gaming CPUs of the AM4 era. However, according to a recent report, this CPU has now reached end-of-life status, meaning when current stocks run out, these CPUs will no longer be available. 

Launched back in January 2024, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D was essentially a slightly downclocked version of the 5800X3D, offering the same eight cores and massive 96MB of L3 cache, but with a 400MHz lower boost clock speed. This small trade-off in frequency came with a significant price cut, often selling for around £200. After the original 5800X3D was discontinued, the 5700X3D became the last widely available X3D chip for the AM4 user base.

Unfortunately, according to Tweakers, it seems that's about to end. Recently, the price of the Ryzen 7 5700X3D has started to increase, leading some to wonder if something was happening in the background. Asking stores what was happening, Tweakers learned that the 5700X3D would be discontinued when the present stock runs out, since retailers are no longer able to order the CPU.

With the 5700X3D seemingly riding off into the sunset, gamers looking for the next great value V-Cache CPU will now have to look towards the AM5 platform, where a rumoured Ryzen 5 9600X3D is expected to arrive.

KitGuru says: Were you planning to get a Ryzen 7 5700X3D? If so, do it now, as they're still available. As things stand, it seems you won't get much longer to get it for a decent price.
