All the AMD 50th anniversary GPUs, CPUs, stickers, and T-shirts announced so far
It’s nearly AMD’s semicentennial and the company is putting together a batch of commemorative products to mark the occasion. AMD has now confirmed a Ryzen 7 2700X Gold Edition CPU bundle, as well as offering World War Z and The Division 2 gratis to anyone buying select AMD CPU, GPUs, or PCs. Further special edition products have also been announced, voluntarily or involuntarily, including a brand new AMD Radeon VII colourway and X470 motherboards.
Advanced Micro Devices was founded on May 1, 1969 by Jerry Sanders and his compadres from Fairchild Semiconductor, now a subsidiary of ON Semiconductor. That’s the same IC company that Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce worked at before founding Intel back in the day. Following the development of its own microprocessors, logic chips, RAM, and after multiple cross-licensing agreements with Intel, it’s been slowly rising up to become the only major, multifaceted contender to the x86 originator in the CPU market.
And it’s now celebrating 50 years at a time when its CPU division is metaphorically killing it. And that means some special products that may tickle gamers’ fancy.
