AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D Disappears from the Market

AMD has reportedly retired the Ryzen 7 5700X3D Socket AM4 desktop processor with 3D V-Cache technology. The 8-core/16-thread chip was launched in January 2024 as a lower priced alternative to the 5800X3D, which AMD retired later that year in October 2024. Towards the end of 2024, the 5700X3D was among the bestselling processors on Amazon. Its retirement sees AMD finally draw the curtains on the Socket AM4 platform. The 5800X3D and 5700X3D, while based on the older "Zen 3" microarchitecture and only supporting the older DDR4 memory standard, offered gaming performance rivaling 12th Gen Core i9-12900K "Alder Lake" or "Zen 4" Ryzen 7600 processors with newer DDR5 memory, giving those on the 8-year-old platform a cost-effective upgrade path.

kondaminGood, AM5 is mature now old stock is fine for quick repairs.
The market needs to move on.

intel should make 12 13 and 14 gen disappear too, it was very frustrating to look for a prebuilt desktop system.
all i could find were either +2000k systems with this generation of cpu's or systems with ancient cpu's i can see microsoft dropping support for in the next 2-3 years.
With Arrow Lake relying on TSMC, they need to keep the 12th and 14th Gen chips around simply to have any CPUs to sell. Stock of 13th is mostly depleted by now as 14th Gen parts replaced them. Remaining stock of KS chips is also very low at the moment. Core Ultra chips have poor availability, this is particularly true for the 285 and 285K processors.

NostrasThat's not true at all. From the launch of the AM5 platform till a couple months after the release of the 7500F/7600 many would argue that investing in a brand new AM4 X3D platform was more worthwhile than having a more modern platform with long-term upgrade support because the AM4 setup was significantly cheaper.
It was known from the start that AM5 would get cheaper, eventually. Building a brand new platform based on AM4 only made sense during those months where AM5 was still expensive, but in truth it never made sense other than a emergency option when a user absolutely needed a new platform at that moment and was not willing to pay AM5 prices and was not willing to wait for AM5 prices to fall.
NostrasOnly until more affordable AM5 boards came out, DDR5 stopped being stupidly expensive and AMD's lower end chips became cheaper did AM4 X3D stop being competitive as a new platform.
AM4's only advantage after AM5 was lower price and everyone knew this would not hold for long.

GrimlingConsidering the fact that the AM4 X3D chips are very competitive in gaming, compared with the AM5 solutions, understandable from the perspective of AMD, but still sad to see that greed finally takes over. Having an low budged option for a potent gaming PC was AMDs Joker in the market, but of course AMD wants AM5 to finally replace the very popular AM4 socked. They have to enforce that for the reasons mentioned above.
Greed? Two separate generations have released, we've gotten a new socket, new RAM, and a third generation of CPU is coming next year. AMD promised support for AM4 through 2020. It is now 2025. How long do you expect them to make this stuff? Do you think it is also greedy that AMD doesnt make new AM3 CPUs? AM2? Should intel be taping out new Pentium IVs?

AMD made a socket that supported everything from the last faildozer CPUs to the 5800x3d and people still find it within themselves to call AMD greedy. SMH.

DaemonForceWell it looks like the pecking order has run its course.
5900X3D the wild cost-prohibitive experiment that didn't go to market.
5800X3D the biggest power sendoff for enthusiasts on the AM4 socket.
5600X3D the first scraps to romance straggler entry level users (me?).
5700X3D was the second scraps and 5500X3D the last of the supply.

The 5800X3D and 5600X3D chips disappeared quickly due to popularity.
The 5700X3D will slowly fade as the last cheap available X3D option.
There could be a revisit to this later but I doubt it. AM4 had the BEST ride.
It was a pretty Epyc ride. Can't wait till 7000 series oddball parts start dropping. I want that 4 core 7400X3D!

Well it wasn't all peaches and cream. They did eventually have to walk back some artificial compatibility constraints if I recall but the one that managed to get away was Zen/Zen+ not being supported on B550 with newer UEFI's. Also quietly removing the ability to test ECC RAM with error injection entering Zen2. Oh vendor locked 5000 series Ryzen parts. I'll never be able to complete my AM4 PRO G CPU collection now. :shadedshu:

I'm glad I got both a 5800X3D and 5700X3D when I did for close to each's respective lows as there are 4 AM4 boards in the house (5500 and 5600 in the other 2). All started with: 1200, 2x1600AFs and 2600 so upgrades kept things viable for 5-8 years, depending.

Bring on AM6 and whatever the next Lake is.

Raise a glass to one of the greatest CPUs on the greatest desktop platform ever to grace the consumer market!



The road was rocky with AMD snatching several fails out of the jaws of success but in the end I doubt we'll see another one like this. Just like nvidia won't make another 1080ti mistake, AMD won't make another AM4+5700X3D/5800X3D combo anytime soon.

It's about time, gotta let stuff retire afterall.

I haven't seen the 5700X3D in Canadian retail in like, half a year already.

It’s been a few months since South Africa could get. All the big distis (eg TD Synnex, Asbis, Ingram) have been out of stock.

I don't care for the way AMD is strangling AM4, but I guess it makes their newer platforms not look so good under certain circumstances. AMD need to pull the perf out of the bag with Zen 6 and also get their latency issues in check.

They did it twice, once with zen 2 support on 300 series chipsets and again with zen 3 on both 300 and 400 chipsets. That falls on AMD for not mandating 256Mb BIOS chips (also on AMD for being really vague on what "support until 2020" actually meant). The zen/zen+ they got away with because nobody was really expecting newer chipsets to support older CPUs, that's never really been a thing, nice as it would have been.

"strangling" :laugh: :roll: :laugh:

AMD support for AM4 was stated to end in 2020. It is now 2025. Do you think AMD should make AM4 CPUs forever?

Right now on 5700X3D and 1080Ti. Still plenty of years to go on this setup for me.

I think it's more that zen/zen+ compared to the rest of the platform didn't age all that well - they were groundbreaking in their prime, but didn't went past that - and someone who's investing on a newer motherboard surely will want a new CPU anyway, the few that weren't had to contend with no support.

It's a lot more common for someone to have an older motherboard and want to upgrade the CPU to a newer generation, AMD was shooting itself in the foot by trying to kill that after promising long term support and luckily - for them and for us - was willing to fix the mistake after some deserved and very avoidable bad PR.

I won my X570 board and a 6 core AM4 from an AMD VLAN. I now have a AM4 8 core 5700X. I am still extremely happy with the performance of my rig. I dig the longevity of the AM4 socket!
