Yes, it has been fantastic to be able to pick up old motherboards and still be able to put a recent processor in. The only trouble I've had was on a couple of the boards, I had to buy an older cpu in order to boot and update the BIOS to support the newer processor. I wish everybody supported booting and updating the BIOS without a cpu in there.AM4 launched in September 2016; over 7yrs ago. Ryzen will be 7yrs old in February. And Zen 3 still consistently dominates the top 10 at Amazon U.S. the biggest retailer. That's an unparalleled market force.
This makes my 105w 3800 into a key chainHubba, hubba... !

It's good business.The platform has become ubiquitous. Zen 3 is still wildly popular in retail. OEMs and S.I.s have been producing AM4 PCs for so long, that the ROI is probably a bean counter's dream at this point.Then there's the killer app if you will, 3D V-Cash, which is becoming synonymous with excellence in PC gaming.AMD has a fever, and the only cure seems to be releasing more AM4 skus
The new 5000 series are now for sale in Europe. Cezanne pricing sucks hard. PCIe 3.0, 16MB L3, and Vega 7 graphics in 2024 is really low end stuff. And what the hell is with the big price hike for a small MHz bump without extra cores and threads? AMD pricing strategies hurt my brain.

Thanks for giving voice to my thoughts about that. The last 4 years have felt that way. I guess their analytics drive a pricing strategy with the goal of milking their most loyal DIY customers. Then reacting to demand or lack there of once that "Shut up and take my money!" demographic is serviced.-If it's AMD pricing it just means it will be the right price is a month or two.
Always gotta fleece the early adopters.

A good example: the 7800XT, prices on most models are higher now than at launch. Speaks to its popularity. Meanwhile the XFX MERC 7900XTX was $799 on Amazon for a hot second.
As to the 5700X3D, needs to be $250 or less after the milking is done. On prime day I got its big bro for $277.70 with 6% cash back.
Look on the bright side. A year or two down the line, you can pick up the X3D cheap on sale and then you get to stomp on the 5800X!now the 5700X3D? argh
Im probably moving to an AM5 APU in a year or two. Also i have a B450 board so if these new ones are for the 500 only im out.Look on the bright side. A year or two down the line, you can pick up the X3D cheap on sale and then you get to stomp on the 5800X!
man the 5800X was probably my worst adquisition ever, right after they launched the 5700X that was way easier to cool with 5% less perf and now the 5700X3D? argh
While I can relate, AMD exists to make profits for it's shareholders. Making us happy is only a means to that end, and if people keep buying at higher prices; AND will be happy to oblige them. I have noticed prices on a lot of components are relatively high right now. I'm curious if high demand during Black Friday/Cyber Monday depleted stocks.Thanks for giving voice to my thoughts about that. The last 4 years have felt that way.

Considering how well AM4 is still doing I expect this will continue for some more time. AMD won't put actually new stuff on AM4 anymore so these minor refreshes are the next best thing. AM4 is unprecedented.Can't remember a time where we were getting brand spanking new prior gen parts 1.5 years into the next gen.
It's lasted longer than any other consumer platform. I think skt7 or super skt7 would be in the second spot?
Hell, it's like a console generation now. Up there for legendary status with the PS2 for popularity over time.

Deserves at least an honorable mention for longevity. Wiki says 2004-2009I seem to remember Socket 775 lasted quite some time.
Yeah, true about the compatibility. Even B350 and A320 support was provided.Deserves at least an honorable mention for longevity. Wiki says 2004-2009

Caveat is compatibility was messier with 775 chipsets.
AM4 X370 taking Zen 3 3D, 12, and 16 core parts is easily the GOAT of consumer platform longevity.
