Set to celebrate its 50th anniversary on May 1, AMD is rolling out two limited edition products to memorialize the date. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Gold Edition CPU and the AMD Radeon VII Gold Edition will come in a special package and will be bundled with free PC versions of the World War Z as well as The Division 2 Gold Edition games, stickers of CEO Lisa Su's signature, and a code to redeem a limited edition T-shirt.

Altogether AMD will offer two 50th anniversary edition products: a CPU and a GPU. The eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Gold Edition processor is a standard-clocked 2700X (3.7 - 4.3 GHz) with a cosmetic upgrade, featuring Dr. Lisa Su’s signature imprinted on its IHS and coming in a special packaging. The CPU will also come with AMD's top end Wraith Prism CPU cooler. The 2700X Gold Edition will cost $329 in the US and will be available from select retailers all across the world.

Meanwhile the Radeon VII Gold Edition graphics card will be going a similar route, receiving a red shroud and gold AMD50 packaging. It will cost $699 in the US and will be available from AMD.com and JD.com.

Customers who will buy the CPU or GPU will also get two free games: the World War Z and The Division 2 Gold Edition (with Year 1 Season Pass). In addition, they will get a Lisa Su-autographed sticker and a coupon to get a free AMD 50th anniversary T-shirt.
