AMD Readies Even More Ryzen 5000 Series Desktop SKUs for April

[Pumper]

This is actually rather terrible news.

Since it's unlikely AMD will release SKUs with a lifespan of less than 1 year, it's more likely Zen4 will come as a handful of high-end, expensive SKUs, while these one just announced/leaked will be sold alongside Zen4. Just like they did with Zen3+.

That's fine, after all, AM5 will be DDR5 only, so the platform's entry price will be too high to pair it with lower end CPUs anyway.

At the same time, you may want a cheaper CPU if you have to fork more $$$ for RAM.

No one does that.
