The amd one is AM5 and you’ll be able to pop a new CPU in for like the next six years
AM5 will lose support in 2027 unless it’s extended further, no? Six years from today is probably an overstatement, but I still agree with the general sentiment if we know now that there could be good upgrade options for the future.
Honestly I’m basing this more on the fact amd is STILL out here releasing new am4 cpus than on their stated timelines, they just don’t know when to give up on a socket no matter what they claim (not complaining tho)
You are right, I hope their track record continues, AM4 has been amazing.
I’m only slightly worried myself because I believe a few years ago they tried to silently drop 5000 series support from b450 boards or something like that, but then reversed that decision after backlash. Makes me think they could try that again, but so far I think they have course corrected successfully. Maybe I’m being slightly pessimistic by thinking they’ll try something similar again.
