AMD seems to be preparing a special variant of the Ryzen 7 2700X processor to mark their 50th Anniversary. If you don't remember, 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of AMD which was founded back in 1969 and has been a pioneer of the computing world, delivering some of the most ground-breaking technologies to users around the globe.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 50th Anniversary Edition Leaked - Features 8 Cores, 16 Threads and a Listed Price of $340 US

AMD is soon going to launch their next-generation Ryzen 3000 series processors which are based on the latest 7nm Zen 2 architecture. They will without a doubt be much faster and power efficient than the existing 12nm+ Zen+ based Ryzen 2000 processors but that isn't stopping the red team to release an anniversary edition model early on to celebrate their Golden Jubilee.

Revealed by our friend Dayman (Twitter Handle: Dayman58), the upcoming processor will be called the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 50th Anniversary Edition. This would probably be AMD's last 12nm+ CPU before the move into the 7nm territory. No detailed specifications are mentioned but the chip has been listed with a price of $340.95 US which is an early on-order price. Now the interesting thing is that the chip has a lower price than the Ryzen 7 2700X listed on the same retailer which is $383.15.

An estimated 1200 units would be arriving at the said retailer so it won't be as much of a limited edition model considering just one retailer is getting over a thousand units. The processor is still likely to be produced in lower numbers than the Ryzen 7 2700X due to its close proximity with the Ryzen 3000 series processors that are scheduled to launch in mid of 2019. Since there are no specs given, we can only speculate on what to expect from this part.
