Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition hits fourth place on Amazon best sellers list, less than a month after release

It's been less than a month since the re-release of AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU, and the Zen 3 part has already hit the top five best-sellers on Amazon. The chip ranks as Amazon's fourth best-selling CPU right now, sandwiched between the Ryzen 7 9800X3D in 2nd place and the Ryzen 7 7800X3D in 5th place.

The top 10 CPUs in Amazon's list are all AMD models, featuring the Ryzen 5 5500, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Ryzen 5 9600X, Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 7 5800XT, Ryzen 5 7600X, Ryzen 9 9950X3D, Ryzen 7 7700X, and Ryzen 9 9900X. The highest-ranking Intel CPU on Amazon's best-sellers list at the time of writing is the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, sitting at 15th place.

Amazon's best sellers list shows that demand for an X3D part that supports the AM4 platform is extremely high, thanks to the ongoing DRAM and SSD shortage, which has drastically increased DDR5 memory pricing. DDR4 pricing has not been completely unaffected by the DRAM shortage, but DDR4 is still much cheaper than DDR5. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D was the first X3D chip AMD ever produced, featuring eight Zen 3 cores with a peak turbo frequency of 4.5GHz and 96MB of L3 cache. However, bringing the two-generation-old CPU back was not easy; AMD had to redesign the 3D stacking process to accommodate a newer design since the original had been decommissioned.
