It seems as though AMD has released its final set of processors for use with its highly successful AM4 platform, with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D being a fantastic swansong for AM4 by utilizing its 7 nm Vertical (V) Cache stacking technology. Since our last guide for May, AMD has announced that their Zen 4 core based on the 5 nm process will be launching later in the year during the Fall.
