AMD says the re-release of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D was 'like a final gift to our loyal [AM4] users' and it was CEO Dr. Lisa Su who first came up with the idea

I was genuinely surprised by the re-release of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D earlier this year. A chip I thought long dead was back in 10th Anniversary form, after a resurrection process AMD's David McAfee described as " very hard, actually " to our Dave at Computex 2026. Now AMD's Travis Kirsch has spoken to Japanese outlet Tech+ about more of the thinking behind the re-release, and it seems the idea started at the very top.
