AMD Ryzen 7000X3D Processors Have a Distinct Retail Packaging
Here's the first look at the retail PIB package of an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor with 3D Vertical Cache technology. These chips come in box design that's distinct from the rest of the Ryzen 7000 lineup. Bright orange and silver accents make up the front face of the box, with "3D Vertical Cache technology" being mentioned prominently. With the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the PIB package design was probably found to look too similar to the rest of the lineup and practically indistinguishable from those of the 5000G "Cezanne" desktop APUs, which is probably why AMD took this route.
It's very likely that we'll see Socket AM5 desktop APUs based on the "Phoenix Point" monolithic silicon later this year, with its 12 CU RDNA3 iGPU and 8-core/16-thread "Zen 4" CPU that has a 32 MB on-die L3 cache. These processors will have yet another distinguishable retail PIB packaging. AMD's then technical marketing director, Robert Hallock, assured us that the company will continue to invest in desktop APUs (processors with powerful iGPUs), despite Ryzen 7000 desktop processors coming with a low-power iGPU as standard.

Waste of plastic and paper. Tray and warranty sticker + QR code to online legal crap, nothing else. But they never mature up, do they? Who cares about waste.
I've had the 7950X and 4090 since release day and they have far exceeded my high expectations. The CPU is a beast at everything I've thrown at it! Using a 5080x4366 VR resolution on the Varjo Aero on 150+ VR games, live streaming with 11 USB accessories and 14 programs, video editing, video rendering and so on. Nothing has come close to being limited by the CPU.
