oh ffs, I was just thinking about upgrading my current PC with a new GPU and CPU and just keeping the same 64gb of AM4 DDR4 I already have. But now even the prices for the CPUs are skyrocketting? Eff everything about this and curse Sam Altman.

The gaming focused CPUs yeah. If you're on an early generation AM4 cpu (ie 2600x) then updating to a 5xxx cpu that's not gaming focused is still pretty cheap and likely worthwhile. ie 5950x

Depending upon your workload and motherboard support of course.
