AMD CEO Lisa Su revived Ryzen 7 5800X3D as a final AM4 upgrade
AMD brought back the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in June 2026 as a 10th Anniversary Edition, an idea credited to CEO Lisa Su. AMD's Travis Kirsch said the decision predated rising DDR5 costs and was meant to give AM4 owners one last upgrade without changing platforms.
