Ryzen 5800X3D Revival was Lisa Su's Initiative, and Other Interesting Details in AMD Interview with MyNavi Tech+

What happened

Japanese tech publication MyNavi Tech+ interviewed Travis Kirsch, AMD's client-segment product manager. According to the interview, reviving the Ryzen 7 5800X3D for the Socket AM4 market earlier this year was an initiative going as far up as CEO Lisa Su. The effort required certain manufacturing process updates with TSMC so that new 5800X3D chips identical in specs to the originals could be built without reviving deprecated manufacturing processes. AMD said the 5800X3D AM4 Anniversary Edition was released as a parting gift to the loyal Socket AM4 crowd holding on to DDR4 memory amid brutal overpricing of DDR5, and was planned to help users better plan their transition to AM5 and DDR5 memory. The 5800X3D offers contemporary levels of gaming performance, and its re-launch triggered a new wave of product launches from motherboard vendors.
