People a week ago: “you’re all stupid, DDR4 is not impacted”
Just wait. Scarcity loves company.
AM4 is the greatest CPU socket that has ever been created.
The fact some shitty athlons were sold on it, but also something like a 5800X3D that has held up so well that some people are still willing to pay this much years later is astonishing to me.
I love my AM4 5800X3D system. Paired with a 6900 XT (nice card) and 64 gigs of ram there is nothing it can’t run for me. I have played with newer gen stuff and its all worse (ether bad linux support, stability, or the hardware cooks itself).
I honestly wonder if this shift away from consumer facing products has something to do with the plateauing of hardware as much as chasing a quick buck. I would think that if AMD just restarted 5800X3D production people would be happy.
Now it’s starting to make sense. Wanted to upgrade my old processor to something newer, but still AM4. Prices are stupidly high.
Am I lucky or what. Built my first ever PC a few months ago before all this crap started. My only regret is going with 32gb ram instead of 64.
I’m just fine on 16 man. You’re good.
Sorry guys, i’m the one who wished computers would become popular back when i was an awkward preteen in the 90’s. Oops.
This is the kind of weird stuff that happens near the peak of a bubble.
AMD fucked up hard by discontinuing 5700/5800X3D
I fucked up by not buying a 5700X3D
So glad I don’t have money for a new PC for some years anyways 😂
Guess it was good I jumped on the 5700 X3D when I was able to.
Wonder what 3 series sells for… 3700X, etc.
I sold a 3700x for $75 on marketplace two weeks ago
I should sell my machine for more than I paid, I don’t mind dropping back to AM3+/DDR3 if it means I can spec a replacement later and make some extra money on top of it.
AM3+ is straight ass though. There is a reason why most people who had a high end rig 10 years ago ran intel cpus.
I have an old blade server that I got from work many years ago. I never set it up but just opened it up to see what’s in it and discovered it had DDR2 memory. Interested?
This is a weird post. 5800x3d might be “legacy” but other am4 chips are still being manufactured.
An AM4 computer is still pretty capable.
Jokes on them I just ordered a used r 5 5600x for a $140 upgrade. My shits old as dirt. I was on a 1600x and a 1060 GPU.
And here I was thinking id just upgrade to one of these on my AM4 board… guess not.
Makes sense, considering DDR4 has only gone up 2x.
Though now I need to but the motherboard sooner than later, lest there be no good stock by the time I get to it.
