The head of AMD Ryzen has hinted that Zen 3 CPUs could make a comeback due to ongoing DDR5 supply constraints.
The idea is to keep affordable platforms available while memory availability remains tight.
This comes alongside rumours that NVIDIA may bring back the RTX 3060 as well.
Feels like the industry might be stepping backwards a bit almost like it’s 2020 again 
5700x3d let’s go 
Sounds like a good move. I keep hoping that some Chinese manufacturer, esp CXMT, will scale up production with better yield to combat the problem.
AM4 will go down as the most legendary socket ever made.
Socket 7 V2 
Way back in 1999 (best year of all time) AMD launched a processor for the abandoned/obsolete Socket 7 platform (which originally came out in 1995 with the Pentium 1) and it outperformed Intel’s Pentium 3.
It was so powerful that AMD themselves canceled all future/planned clockspeeds because they would never have been able to get people on Socket A/462 otherwise.

I am confused. How would this help, when DDR4 is also scarce and not even in production?
AM4 processors are still plenty in inventory and are kinda responsible for the high DDR4 prices (what else will you buy to run that cheap 12k 5600x?). If anything, we need AM4 to go out of stock, so that DDR4 has less demand and prices come down.
There’s more DDR4 in circulation in the used market than DDR5, it’s been out for almost a decade.
We’ll tell tales about AM4ever around a campfire in 30 years 
Man shush, let me hope for a 2nd chance to get a 5700x3d
