The Ryzen 7 2700X 50th Anniversary listed in the United States for $ 347.95

The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 50th Anniversary processor is listed, which has a starting price of $ 347.95, but does not offer anything new.

During this past week the possible existence of an AMD Ryzen processor has been leaked to commemorate 50 years of AMD. We have also seen this week the 50th anniversary edition of the Sapphire RX 590 with a gold heatsink. Rumors indicated that the Ryzen 7 2700X 50th Anniversary would be the same in specifications as the current Ryzen 7 2700X. This processor will be available on April 30, although images of the processor listed in some retailers have already been leaked. This is the case with Connection.com, which has listed it for $ 347.95.

This new processor does not have any variation with respect to its predecessor on the market. It will continue to have eight cores and sixteen threads at a base frequency of 3.7GHz and in Boost mode it will reach 4.3GHz. It maintains the TDP of 105W and has a total of 3MB L16 Cache memory. This processor is overclockable and will use the 10W Prism Wraith heatsink.

As has been rumored, this processor could arrive in a special commemorative box. Some have also commented that this processor would also have a screen printed on the HIS of the package.

It has not been officially presented and as we can see it does not offer anything that encourages the purchase. If it had more frequency or some improvement, it would be interesting, but it is not worth paying the difference. More than anything it seems a commercial strategy, without more.

Connection.com notes that they have 500 units in stock for $ 347.95, compared to the $ 329 for the Ryzen 7 2700X. A difference of $ 20, which could be justified if something improved. We suppose that those fans of different and exclusive processors or AMD fans, will go for it.
