The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor has reached the end of its life cycle. According to the German portal ComputerBase, since the summer the processor has risen in price to 400 euros, with the beginning of autumn – to an absurd 900 euros, and today it has completely disappeared from European stores.

According to TechPowerUp, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D can still be purchased in the US, but also at a greatly inflated price. It’s not available from major retailer Newegg, but can be found on Amazon and some smaller retailers.

The eight-core Ryzen 7 5800X3D with an operating frequency range from 3.4 to 4.5 GHz was introduced by AMD in April 2022. It was the first consumer processor to feature optional 3D V-Cache. An additional 64 MB was added to the main L3 cache, increasing the total L3 cache capacity to 96 MB.

The presence of additional cache gave the Ryzen 7 5800X3D a significant advantage in games, allowing the eight-core chip to rival the flagship 16-core Core i9-12900K despite the fact that AMD’s solution was based on the older (in terms of generation) Zen 3 architecture, and The Socket AM4 platform itself is limited to DDR4 memory support. On the other hand, the additional cache provided virtually no benefit in production applications. In addition, the chip did not officially support overclocking.

Last year, AMD released the six-core Ryzen 5 5600X3D with frequencies from 3.3 to 4.4 GHz, and earlier this year the eight-core Ryzen 7 5700X3D with frequencies from 3.0 to 4.1 GHz. They also feature 64MB of additional 3D V-Cache.
