AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 50th Anniversary Edition Pictured Up Close: Signed by Lisa Su
Here are two of the first high-resolution pictures of the Ryzen 7 2700X 50th Anniversary Edition commemorative processor by AMD. It turns out we were right in guessing that it has special markings on the IHS (integrated heatspreader). Turns out, you get a facsimile of AMD CEO Lisa Su's signature, in addition to the AMD-50 logo above the main Ryzen logo. The box itself sees black replace gray as the primary color, and gold replacing auburn/orange in most places except the main Ryzen logo on the front face. A Wraith Prism RGB cooling solution is included, just like normal 2700X PIB packages. Early listings of the processor pinned its price around USD $340, a premium over the $295 price the Ryzen 7 2700X is typically going for.

honestly this whole stunt is making me wary of AMD a bit. the ego. when they haven't even beat Intel as best gaming chip yet.
The fanboys who buy this aren't going to install it. They'll probably show it off on a wall hanging or something, or keep it box-sealed as a collector's item.
you do not need to buy it, it's not causing you any harm nor anyone...
I am more annoyed by the GT1030 ddr4, the RX580's with 2048sp and that kinda crap cause it actually gives people less than what they expect.
Although I am happy for AMD hitting half a centurie and still competing an at least 10 times bigger corporation. Gaming is not the only usage of computers and not being the fastest is not being useless.
Maybe a secret ticket for an 3700x at launch day plz ?
It's not the Official Box Render/Image.
it's just a place holder IMO- and the real 50th anniversary would be better[Hope].
That would sell like candies, but I doubt this will, knowing that the next generation is coming in a few months.
Hell, even if AMD got all former CEOs to sign besides Lisa Su, that would have shown way more involvement.
The current AMD is thriving & kicking due to Lisa & the last CEO as well as Keller, Papermaster etc. This AMD doesn't owe much to the series of "oops" their previous leaders pulled off for nearly a full decade!
Hardly someone worth mentioning in the same breath as Lisa.
selling 2700x for more with CEO's signature is just insulting to intelligence,but hey,it's amd so it's gonna sell to the niche who can't shut up about Intel CPU's value in every thread.
I don't see much of an issue really.. Yes it would have been much nicer for them to have used a newer product like the 3700X or something and made it a little special but I'd have liked to have seen a bit more of a higher clocked version than just something that's stock in another pretty box.
