They’ve committed to support AM5 (the LGA socket launched 2022) through at least 2027.

This is a solid policy. AFAIK even with ancient Asus B350 Board, you can use Ryzen 5800X3D - which is still a solid gaming CPU

Yep.

I was debating it because I still had a 1700x, bit the bullet and went with the 7800x3d

In three years I probably still won't need a cpu upgrade, but the last AM5 x3d will give me another 3-4 years into am6

I upgraded my main PC from a Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 9 5950X a year or two ago and it was completely straightforward. The CPU runs cool too. The next upgrade will be trickier but I'm definitely sticking with AMD unless they do something as bad as what intel is doing.
