5 years ago at 50th birthday. 5700XT and 3700X.



After all the success on the CPU front, it would be nice to have released a 55th anniversary edition of a 3D CPU.

Zen 2 really shone at their 50th anniversary. Hope this year Zen 5 could do some serious damage as well. It's even better if RDNA 4 is good indeed.

My first AMD was 486 DX2 66Mhz. Time goes fast.

SLOT A K7 for me. Indeed it does.

Well done AMD, you survived for so long.

It's great, when chance has been given to the struggling, who has proven to be potent and worthy of that support. AMD has done amazing job. And there's much to do. Maybe one day, Radeon will once again have the parity with nVidia, and better have intel on board of the competition as well. But it's the story for another day.
Just need to give more decent dGPUs (doesn't matter monolithic or MCM), address the mobile products scarcity and supply restrains. As much as work with partners, to give better and cheaper motherboards.

Unfortunatelly, the companies being dumped at the slightest implicationt of issues. But it's so nice, that someone have seen the situation, and understood that, at least the CPU market would have colapsed, if there would have been no competition. It would be also very nice to finally stuck the green behemoth, with the same treatment. But unfortunatelly, all the reachest ones still try to inflate that bubble, with the anticipation of sudden money rain. instead of funding the strong competition, that would hold that monster in check. But, this isn't something consumers can have yet any influence on. At least if AMD wan't so reliant solely on enterprise and datacenter/AI, and gave the chance to consumers to fund them with stong purchases. Eventually, it's dangerous to put all eggs in a single basket.

A Computer GuyLisa Su 9950x dual CCD X3D cache edition would be nice.

Actually AMD had the working prototype/example of 5950 with both CCD having the 3D V-Cash. I think they went for the money and market segmentation, and ended up with the problems caused by shitty MS schedulers.

FouquinStock-jockeys know nothing and are a reactionary and fickle animal. If they see their shadow in the morning they'll shout doom and gloom.

The entire stock market thing is complete scam and baseless speculations. Some dumb rumours, someone farted or sneezed, the rain has began to fall, and entire hangar of muppets with headsets begin to dump stocks, of perhaps completely stable company, just from the fear of loosing money, that don't even belong to them-selves.
There's some digrace in the fact, that someone's years of hard work and enormous efforts depend on some uneducated selfish greedy folks, who has nothing humane left in them.

Absolutely. AMD went with the lacklustre 2700X (the best they had for that very moment) for the 50th, just several month before the milestone/breakthrough Zen2. There shoud be Zen5 X3D variant, or at least binned Zen4 one. At least on CPU front, they completely dominate, and have many SKUs to chose from.
But, as A Computer Guy have said, the dual CCD X3D, would be the best, and trully special.
The Radeon, on the other hand is a complete dud. :(

As someone who has both 5800X and 7800X3D, im very happy with both of these. Amazing CPUs. I hope they keep going like this. Intel made me not upgrade to anything new for like 10 years. AMD brought back the spark, the joy of upgrading. If only they had a GPU that's super impressive and decently priced...
