wow, much time-limited, very low-volume yield sku

People are dumb and put way too much faith in obviously non-technical marketing statements lmao.

6c stacks are not a defect, there is no stacking failure that leaves you with only one dead core but a working chip. 6c stack are specifically only stacked for 5600x3d, there was never a 6c stack used in epyc, people are just too dumb to actually look at and interpret the facts themselves if it contradicts an authority figure lmao

the 5600x3d specifically exists as an artificial backstop to prevent 5800X3D prices from continuing to slide, and that has been obvious from day-1 despite the supposed “limited” nature of the SKU, but gosh, steve said the microcenter sales rep said, it was a yield sku, who am I to contradict a salesman???

and again, that’s the same reason the 7900GRE exists, to control the price of 7900XT, which has also bounced up since the GRE was launched. and it turns out that is not a limited-volume or “china-only” SKU after all, either.

Would be nice if AMD restocks ITX AM4 boards since most of them are OOS or no longer stocked

Lisa Su said whan they launched AM5 that they plan on supporting AM4 in the future. This must be what she meant.

Would be ludicrous not to, it has a huge installed user base, AM4 is still outselling both AM5 and Intel, and has done so for 7+ years, so there’s a lot of users out there looking to upgrade, and while it might cannibalize their own AM5 sales, it also prevents people switching to Intel.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see a 5950X3D.

Lots of upgrade paths if you’re still on AM4.

Well, if they’ll be able to price this thing at a very competitive price then yeah, I’ll be more than happy to do to keep my X570 for a lil bit longer.
