I just wish they would make it on the latest NM tech with the IPC improvements... PCIe 5.0 is nice and all, but not required completely, can you imagine a souped up 5800X3D for the AM4 platform?

I am biased, but yeah, Instant buy :love:

5850X3D.

I know it's not needed by everyone but just the fact that AMD continues the longevity of the AM4 platform puts others (*ahem* Intel *cough*) to shame. It really highlights the greedy business model of forced and unnecessary platform migration.

While I get what you are trying to say, I don't think that this news is the best showcase for that. You are not getting a new CPU arch, just a new release of the same old thing. someone with a 5800x / 5700g doesn't really have a reason to be excited by this. comparable Zen 3 (even zen 2) CPUs are still massively available today.

I can also say that the mindset of old= bad so you must upgrade, is very much spread on forums too. im one for making everything last as long as I can and I like buying older gear at 1/4 prices. this constant push of you must upgrade is a joke and Im sure many PR reps here from companies have that agenda of "dont buy old, upgrade". they push it on people here and other forums.

when I was starting to shop for an am4 build, tons would push for am5 build. bang for buck makes no sense to buy am5. youre paying more for the performance, but then add ram prices which are are double ddr4, mb are at a premium. the jump is then small at a large price premium. the amount of money you need to put down for am5 vs am4 makes no sense.

in dec I just bought a 5950x for editing. the cpu did editing fine back then, why wouldnt it now. that cpu cost $800 at launch!! and I got that for $300. thats my mindset. not pay for a beta product, not pay a premium "new" price. hell, people paying $1400 for a phone year after year and here I am accumalating stock of lg v20 to have for another 10 years at $70 each. swappable batteries, IR remote, DAC and omg, an audio jack.

I dont fall for hype stupidity, or influencers and I dont conform. my biggest issue is the world is consuming way way too much. mother nature has been very patient.

$300 was a fantastic deal to get a 5950x. If I didn't get a once in a blue moon amazon special $400 for 7950x I probably wouldn't have upgraded to AM5 at least for another year or two.

I am sure there are folks still buying - a number of Chinese motherboard manufacturers have added B450 models to their line ups.

The only thing I can think of that selling these now are workstations.
But I don't know about you but where I live you see about 7-year-old systems with 8/9th gen Intel.
