AMD CEO Lisa Su proposed bringing back the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, set plan in motion before DDR5 shortages
AMD Director Travis Kirsch confirmed the rationale for relaunching the first X3D chip and explained why the company no longer offers many Ryzen 3 SKUs.
AMD CEO Lisa Su expressed her support for reintroducing the Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor, which debuted in April 2022. According to AMD Director of Client Product Management Travis Kirsch, who spoke with MyNavi Tech+, the decision to bring back the X3D processor was not a reaction to the DDR5 memory shortages that occurred mid-2026.
Instead, Kirsch stated that the relaunch was planned prior to the market shift, and served as a "final gift to local users" who have used the AM4 platform for nearly a decade, offering upgraded DDR4 systems. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor underwent extensive re-engineering and updates to TSMC's manufacturing process before its relaunch.
