Wait, you can do that to extend socket lifespan and gather more customers? /Intel_gasp

New CPU would be cheaper than upgrading RAM.

Does that mean no AM6 any time soon?

Hopefully
would be 2H2027 or 1H2028. They would continue overlap support for AM5 through 2029.

Coming out with new boards every couple years is aggravating.
Have several air coolers that now are essentially trash, because the mounting brackets are different.

Still rocking LGA 1700.
Patiently waiting for NovaLake on LGA 1954.
Several??
You should probably stop buying cheap coolers cuz most have mounting brackets out the box going back to LGA 775. (Scratch that maybe you should buy cheap coolers as clip on coolers are pretty much universal going back to the turn of the millennium(yes millennium))
Intel 72 x 72 is old old school, your cooler has done its time...........75 x 75 for Intel means you could have kept using the same cooler since forever ago, and LGA1700 being 78 x 78 means the bracket difference is small enough you didnt need a new cooler just the bracket, which when LGA 1700 came out alot of manufacturers were charging only shipping for.
Remember this thing:
It could have been your cooler of choice since like LGA 775 and with the mounting bracket for LGA 1700 you could be using it today.
If you are gonna complain about cooler compatibilty Intel is NOT the company you should be worrying about as they try to keep their dimensions square and only go up enough that coolers are actually still compatible.
AMD are the ones who fuck shit up with AM2/2+/AM3/3 and AM4 being so different, if your cooler was a bolt through then that was that pretty much.
The Clip-On coolers were never an issue though.
What coolers from what platform do you have sitting around that arent compatible from when you got them to today??

It's still getting proper support.
AM4 is still getting UEFI updates. The last one showed is dropping this month, for most motherboards with AM4 AGESA ComboV2 1.2.0.11

True.
But I think I'm done with Bios upgrades since F40 broke my windows activation (had to buy the license again - cheap keys of course).

I'll be honest, I haven't updated yet. I'm still on last years AGESA.
It's not essential, as it's just a security update and it's in a sort of beta state. (that is why it has the a or b at the end of the Version name)

there is, DDR6

Are we expecting all the data centers that just ordered millions of DDR5 sticks to instantly replace all of them as soon as DDR6 launches?

Hell yeah. I bought my AM5 motherboard back in 2023 and it's going to last me beyond 2030. Pretty awesome

All that means is new SKUs. Doesn't mean Zen 7 or Zen 8 will be on AM5.
There was a rumor that AMD looked into Zen 4 on AM4. But obviously it never came out.

AMD should be ashame of that pricing. As a business, I get it, taking advantage of the situation. But Asking a calm $350 for a 4-year old part that is getting beat by your 7600x and 9600x? That's tough. I also lul'd at the 7700X3D being cheaper than the 5800X3D. AMD is big trolling the community. Even still, as a 5800X3D launch owner, this chip is still a beast and will hold me down until AM6 or whatever Intel drops if its better price to performance.
I also hope folks know that going forward Intel will support at least 3 gens of CPU's starting with Nova Lake later this year. We can be thankful AMD chopped them in the throat with that and got Intel on board with multiple gens of CPU's for a socket.

It's the RAM the situation unfortunately.
If to consider upgrading to AM5 you need to also upgrade to DDR5 so the whole thing becomes more expensive than it should, so from that perspective the pricing sort of makes "sense"
given that DD6 is still in development so there is no actual final spec, and will not be available for a long while, and will be limited in availability when available, and significantly overpriced because the market will limit manufacturing capabilities for it .... that is a no.

I'm glad the piece of shit is getting that support for the bitch.

Yeah, I know. Which is why I said I understand what they were doing. Still tough as a consumer, but it is what it is. Folks just need not to let FOMO grip their soul and wait until the price isn't stupid, but we know that isn't gonna happen. Haha
One should only upgrade to AM5 is if they have a local Microcenter or access to one because of their bundle deals. Anything else doesn't make sense unless you truly, truly need the upgrade.

Yes, tough indeed.
If you look at the used market prices these things are selling for about the same price AMD is trying to charge for a brand new one…

Yeah, shit crazy. Haha

By beat you mean a cool 0.5% if that and in many cases irrelevant. FWIW I would still buy one especially since you can get nab 32GB of DDR4 for under 200 - it's honestly a decent proposal all things considered.
AMD Ryzen 5 9600X Review - The Best Sub-$300 Gaming CPU
The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X excels in energy efficiency and single-threaded performance. It offers great FPS for gamers and solid application performance. Our review confirms: at just $280, the 9600X is a compelling option against the pricier 7800X3D.
They won't replace them but they will go after the DDR6 maybe leaving some DDR5 for the rest of us.

Zen 6 release date is either this year or next year. Then the 3d by the end of 2027 .
Zen 7 is rumored to be AM5 as well but not confirmed.
You won't sell AM6 before end of 2028 at the earliest
