God, I'm so f****** tired of hearing this from every orifice on the Internet specially from AMD fans. Now let's talk about reality, shall we?
1. Intel has had two CPUs generations per socket for over a decade now, this is not new, OK, amigo?
2. Intel is not a charity and their chipset business is their good source of income.
3. No one forces you to buy into the Intel platform.
4. Absolute most people out there do not upgrade their CPUs so often, nowadays people tend to stick to their PCs for at least 3-7 years if not longer. We are not at the end of the 90s, the early 00s when CPUs became twice as fast in fewer than 36 months. There's absolutely no need to upgrade your CPU so often. Most new AAA games, we are all CPU enthusiasts here, aren't we?, are heavily GPU bound, not CPU bound. You play competitive 1st person shooters? At 1080p CPUs from 3-5 years ago provide FPSs above 250. Again, no need to upgrade to anything new yet.
5. Almost all the screaming about Intel switching sockets comes from ... AMD fans who for some reasons don't even represent the majority of x86 users (Intel: 68.03% as of May, 2022). Are you OK? Need help?
In no way I vindicate what Intel does - I just do not care. They don't kill people, actively destroy/pollute the environment, don't start wars and don't employ slaves. And they are no longer a monopoly though I'm not a fan of a duopoly (which is not so different in terms of proper competition) in the x86 market but that's what there is. Cut them some slack, OK?
Im sorry but this is just silly Birdie.....
You are sharing your opinion on how others should not share their opinion.....
Intel is not a charity...yeah ok? so what?
We are hating on Intel for what they do, and we can express that opinion on this forum which is what they are doing....
No one is forcing you to buy into intel.....yeah ok, again...so what?

I mean what really is going through your mind when you made this post honestly?
"man I cant believe these possible consumers and target audience are sharing their dissatisfaction with a company that wants to profit of of them, they should just be quiet about it and let others not know that perhaps there are better ways of doing business for a consumer"
...and you are the consumer yourself, you are weirdly putting yourself out there as if you are intel whom indeed rather not have anything negative said about their practices as that might influence sales, but you yourself said "you dont have to buy into the intel ecosystem" implying everyone is aware of the problems and alternatives and thus nobody has to speak about it....
idk man, again, posts like yours are just so weird.
and on that last part.....ermm they were slapped with multiple fines for anticompetitive (illegal) practices and they have a weird history of fighting everyhting for years which costs way more then just pay for they obvious wrong doing soooo yeah.
Its also an odd line drawing thing you are doing, just because its not as extreme as killing and slavery...its all fine?
Why is that, might as well say "a dictator is allowed to kill others, they are not a charity and the war business is a good source of political power, nobody forces you to be their friend"
See how silly that is?
now on the actual topic, idc really, I agree with you that people when they upgrade, tend to upgrade more then just the cpu because everything advances forward so its kinda needed.
