    Of course it’s done intentionally so you have to buy a new motherboard. Stick with AMD if you want to be able to upgrade your CPU.

      Also keeping the same platform reduces electronic waste

      I refuse to upgrade now unless it is a generational leap for this fact alone. People need to get better with consumption overall

      I don’t know what the situation is today, but I had to build a new computer during the end of the series for the AMD chips and have a 5800x

      I know they have since released some newer chips for that motherboard series for gaming, but I’m now on a cycle of when I may want to upgrade its near the end of a cycle.

      Kinda annoying.
