And I’ll be running it for at least another ten…

Ah, AM4.
At 10 years old, it’s still the platform that keeps on giving.

Still runs everything well, so why not?

Economic growth. The government needs us consuming more so that they can create jobs, that’s the entire goal of inflation targeting.

Ha, that’s the funny part. They could have kept pumping out AM4 and taken market share slowly over time while making normal money, making normal jobs, but noooooo line must go up every quarter. So we instead got new products that are twice as much money (when ddr5 came out) that are less stable and not much better, and then to make line go up more fuck selling to people lets all do AI bullshit instead. And now we are in a world where now there is no current viable product, less jobs, and less money people are willing to spend on things that cost 5X what they should.

I’m running an AM4 Ryzen 9, with 64Gb of DDR4, and the thing cooks. AM4 is just great.

I’ve been happily sitting on my R5 2600x for so many years now lol. My MB is an MSI B450 Pro Carbon and it can easily handle a 5950x or 5800x3D or whatever.
Add another 2x8 gb ddr4 for 32GB total and I’ll be seeing some insane performance relative to what I’m already happy with, which will last me another 5 years easily unless the mobo dies.
It’s really insane how well designed AM4 is.
