I'm not sure why, but people seem to think that better, newer tech should not be more expensive than older, less capable tech.In reality, how much power does AMD really have to force these companies to keep prices low? Gigabyte, Asus, etc aren't going to cut their profit margin, I dont think AMD has enough clout to force them to take consessions, so the only thing AMD could really do is cut their own profit margin....and I don't see that happening.....it's completely out of the realm of possibility, but it'd be an interesting idea of AMD could have a "reference" motherboard manufactured for each chipset tier to inject more competition and to act as an "anchor" with respect to prices...though we all know the other mobo manufacturers would have a fit.
Just out of curiosity, what are you basing that on? I'm seriously asking
Like... yeah these Ryzen 7000 DDR5 boards that were literally just released ARE more expensive than Ryzen 5000 DDR4 boards released 2 years ago.
I'm not sure what people think is going on, but better stuff tends to be more expensive.
