If videos like these increase sales of cheap AM5 mobos and CPUs, AMD will soon be forced to discount AM4 chips even more. Just wondering how low they can go. I don't know about now but back in around 2000, I read that a chip costs $50 for Intel to make, regardless of whether it's i7 or Celeron. With inflation and rising manufacturing costs, this might've gone up to $100 at most. So maybe AMD still has some wiggle room and we could see new X3D chips going under $150 some time soon. That's gonna make consoles look bad in terms of fps smoothness and could inject some more life into the DIY PC gaming scene by lowering the barrier of entry.

How does this affect you? Are you running an old machine and want to upgrade on the cheap?

Doesn't affect me at all. I was just thinking out loud.

AM4 is so good, I think I can skip a generation and wait for AM6.

With the risk of repeating myself, please remember that the rest of the world has very little purchasing power, compared to North American buyers.
I was on Aliexpress yesterday, and saw people mentioning (in their reviews) that they just built new computers with 3600X chips.
AM4 is king in South America, Eastern Europe, as well as most of Asia...

- That's a great point and one that's easy to forget. AM4 is bringing the thunder for a lot of folks who are on the lower side of purchasing power.
