Thank you for providing valuable insight. I wish these kinds of comments would end up at the top instead of the usual low quality "hurr-$COMPANY evil, it's all because greedy obsolescence-durr", from people who have no idea how CPUs and motherboards work together and the compatibility challenges that come when spining new CPUs designs with big difference that aren't visible to the layman who just counts the number of cores and thinks there can't possibly be more under the hood changes beyond their $DAYJOB comprehension.

Here's a video from gamer's Nexus on AMD's HW testing lab, just to understand the depth and breadth of how much HW and compatibility testing goes into a new CPU, and that's only what they can talk about in public. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H4eg2jOvVw
