AMD Ryzen 2700X 50th Anniversary Edition (Updated)
AMD is preparing for the festivities of their celebration 50th anniversary beginning with a Ryzen 2700x 50th-anniversary edition to be released on May 1st , 2019.
American online retailer ShopBLT listed it at USD $340.95 but quickly removed it with the message "out of stock." We're not sure what the SKU will entail, the normal 12 nm "Pinnacle Ridge" silicon has 8-cores/16-threads at 3.70 GHz clock-speed and a 4.30 GHz maximum Precision Boost, XFR, L2 cache of 512 KB per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. You can read our review here. It seems AMD is about to get the product going on May 1st, 2019 following by the launch of AMD Ryzen 3xxx CPUs on June.
Update April 22nd
The special edition has again been spotted under product code YD270XBGAFA50. the specifications seem to be similar to that of the regular model, so it is unknown in what area it is different (if at all) from the regular Ryzen 7 2700X. Eight cores / 16 threads run at a base speed of 3.7 GHz, with a Precision Boost to 4.3 GHz. The SKU also will get the same Wraith Prism cooler with RGB lighting. The Ryzen 2700X 50th Anniversary Edition is expected to be available on April 30, one day before the anniversary and seems to be a few tenners more expensive opposed to the regular SKU.

Would make zero sense. And 7nm is still not even close, yields are too bad. I wouldn't be surprised if Q4 begins before we see 3000 desktop series at 7nm DUV (which sucks compared to EUV). Maybe with a big pricetag because of yields.
Talk is cheap. And this is all AMD is doing.
7nm is here, are they not just waiting on the x570 chipsets being sorted out.

Hmmm....I see the Trolls are out, and low quality too (yields are bad)...the fanboys are clearly not getting paid well.

The statement is true. It's doesn't sell that good, i'm not saying it doesn't sell at all, but it's not a fast seller, but it's also frequently sold out, because the supply is low.
According to any information we can gather from websites that show how much is sold per month, the RTX 2080 ti, even though much more expensive, is selling much better then the Radeon VII
Does it mean that AMD is able to sell all they can make? Then I see no problem.
And by that I mean: "It's doesn't sell that good" statement kind of requires reevaluation.
Not a small contradiction and considering it is part of same sentence...

It doesn't sell well, and it is often not in stock. Fact. Deal with it.
If it sold well, it would never be in stock, which is not the case. It's often not in stock, not never not in stock.
From what i have seen the last 3 weeks its been in stock, so either A: They fixed their inability to have stock or B: Buying has fallen even more off.
A company can make 1 product a year and never be in stock with demand for 2, this does not mean their product sells well, as a company that could make the same essentially thing and a demand for 10,000, but produces 15,000 each year and is always in stock, does not somehow make the company that sells and has demand for 10,000 "not sell well" because it's "always in stock".
Ability or inability to meet demand does not equate ability to sell well.
And, i never said they aren't selling, i said they aren't selling well. If AMD cold only produce 10 of these per month and all 10 sold each month, they would still not be selling well even if we were to only take into consideration mindfactories data, as it clearly shows that the direct competitors card to it at the same price point, just their website alone, sells 47 per month.
Again, inability to meet demand or ability to meet demand does not equate ability to sell well, otherwise all companies should severely limit their quantities and make it so they are frequently out of stock just to claim to investors "Oh hey we must be doing something good we're always out of stock, our product is soaring off the shelf!" with no regard to actual amounts being sold from them and their competitors and comparisons between themselves.

Where is your supporting evidence for your "fact"??
You make the claim, you provide proof of said claim.
"It doesn't sell well and is often not in stock"..... Half of that statement has the potential to be contrary to the other half. If it's "often not in stock", then either yields are very poor, demand is simply outpacing supply or merchants simply aren't stocking the product. This is where supporting information becomes vital. Do we know, for a fact, what the actual demand is for the product? Do we know, for a fact, what the product supply actually looks like? Do we know, for a fact, what the retailer sales figures are? Either provide the relevant data, or accept that you're wrong. As you're the one making the claim, burden of proof is on you. Why should anyone else have to research supporting evidence for what YOU claim as fact?

Listed earlier in the thread. Read thread before posting. Only information we have. To state any other opinions based off of nothing is a useless opinion.
Then again you go on to talk about the same stuff that was explained already in the post you quoted from and tried to argue it as well, so i don't think you are reading anything fully.
Selling well does not equal selling out. This is fact. Otherwise all i will have to do to sell well is severely limit what i produce, it won't matter that i am selling half as much if not more then my competitor, it'll only matter to impress people who don't bother to actually look at the whole picture.
But again to reiterate: the information you asked me to provide was already provided by the only source that we have and even compared to how well the rtx 2080 and 2080 ti are selling. Read the thread before posting.
It has also already been stated that one source is not the whole picture and that is obvious, but its enough of the picture to get a rough idea of what the market is doing (its the same source that has been used and then verified by other sources to be pretty spot on when comparing intel and amd on what is selling). Unless someone thinks for some reason the hundreds of thousands of products sold in germany just from that one company is only sold to nvidia fans, or amd fans or etc.

I did "read the thread before replying".
As I'm not fluent in German, simply searching for mindfactory is pretty useless in regards to verifying information. Also, a lot of us don't consider a summary of claimed information, to be proof of anything. Provide a link, and verifying information, or STFU. The mindless fanboy drivel spouted by both sides has gotten old. It's time for everyone to grow up.

So provide your own then, good luck.
I provided, you haven't. You wanted proof, i gave, you decided wasn't good enough, so if it's not, then provide your own. Again, good luck.
Plus, it's not fanboyism when, guess what, it's factual numbers. To claim it is, is fanboyism at its finest. Again if you want to provide "better" proof, so be it, do it. Please, please do it, instead of deciding to try and throw around weak insults as though you're some big guy on the internet.
I have stated facts based off of any information we have, if people have additional information, great! provide it, please! otherwise, get out of the way and let the adults discuss the facts that we have. I have nothing against AMD, i love AMD, i want their GPU department to flourish, it however, isn't. So to claim i'm a fanboy, because of the facts provided to us, spell specific information not in AMDs favor, that's messed up.
Also, it's called google translator, as well as the fact that the numbers used on the german site, are still numbers.

I'll accept that as you're obviously unable to provide your claimed proof..... It is your claim after-all, therefore burden of proof is on you, not me.

Provide a direct link to the information, or go away. It's that simple. YOU made the claim, YOU posted information claiming it to be "factual" and "accurate", so provide proof. It's pretty simple. It's what mature adults do when asked for proof of something. If the information is factual, as you claim, you should have no problem acting like a mature adult and providing a link to the claimed information.

He can't. Because mindfactory data are being misrepresented here.

Realistically we do not have any real data on how many Radeon VII units were sold. AMD has not released any numbers.

I agree with @Aura89 it at 7nm would be a waste of money now if they repurposed some pro line models like you know how they have 2700 Pros which are better silicon etc for the anniversary edition - that could appeal ... they have better results tweaking wise last longer too lifespan wise, also if the anniversary was sold to consumers like the pro line is to enterprise / with a longer warranty period, now that'd be slick as ...
hey I can dream a little even if it is dreaming but chances are it's mostly left over unsold stock with a nice logo slapped onto it not even clocked higher ... I would hope it has a refined microcode allowing a bit of a factory OC because otherwise why buy it?? In addition to cheaper cost + release of 7NM PCI-E 4.0 etc there's a lot of anyways blablabla
