AMD bets big on old tech, promises motherboard longevity into 2030
TL;DR Summary
At Computex 2026 AMD pitches a long‑term upgrade path: keep AM5 motherboard support through 2029 and relaunch three 'old' components—the Ryzen 5800X3D (10th Anniversary edition) and a Ryzen 7700X3D—alongside a new RX 9070 GRE GPU, arguing you won’t need a new motherboard until about 2030 even as prices and performance of the legacy chips remain compelling.
