AMD is turning 50 years old on May 1. To mark the occasion, AMD is releasing “Gold Edition” versions of its Ryzen 7 2700X processor and Radeon VII graphics card.
“For a half century, AMD pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in high-performance computing to create new experiences and possibilities for hundreds of millions of people,” said John Taylor, chief marketing officer at AMD. “We celebrate this moment with our fans around the world who inspire us to push forward in that spirit for another fifty years to 2069 and beyond.”
Intel did a similar marketing campaign with the 40th anniversary of its x86 architecture, with the release of the Core i7-8086K.
