I wonder if the new 5800X3D will support it. I’d give it maybe a 1% chance. I doubt they changed all that much. Sure would be nice for people on AM4, though.
I was referring to AMD bringing the 5800X3D out of retirement. They said that they redesigned it. It’s probably just moving the cache under the CPU like on Zen5 3D, but I feel like there’s a very slight chance.

No, 5800x3d is zen3 sadly.
But you can actually test it with a small python script:

They just adapted it to their current fabrication processes afaik, everything else should be exactly the same as the old ones.
