    Depends.  The idea apparently is to inflate their numbers.  As long as you are doing that it’s likely they don’t care.

    Mate, you keep jumping from one thing to another and being like an Energizer-bunny. Do you have an actual, practical example on how they could make any of this entertaining enough to be a good fit for the channel? You have not yet given anything on how to make it fit.
     
    Also, about cherry-picking things like you did in the quoted part here: only IT-pros that do some work related to networking need such basic knowledge, so it's not relevant to any IT-jobs that don't deal with such.

    Because they are part of the journalism community and not of the professional IT community. No point in getting a cert.

    If this turns out to be true, it's a pretty terrible idea, IMO. Wireless charging is still significantly slower, and being completely unable to use your phone while it's charging seems more regressive than innovative. If anything, the fact that this design would be completely obtuse makes the rumour significantly more credible, given Apple's track record in the last few years.

    These are some pretty impressive numbers, but it does feel - as Linus mentioned - incremental and less like a full new gen.
    Great to see more cores on the 10900K of course

    Off of the top of my head, double check everything on your OS drive before wiping it in case you need to keep anything.

    EChondo got a reaction from NumLock21 in AMD not supporting Zen3 on older motherboards :(   
    1. AMD was very clear that the year 2020 was a cutoff, even since Ryzen 1000/300 series motherboards were first released.
    2. AMD itself is not supporting Zen3 on older motherboards. They also didn't support Zen2 on older mobos, but you can still throw a 3950X on a A320 motherboard.
    3. I don't see the problem here. This doesn't make all current Ryzen CPU's and mobos obsolete. Unless you're already on a 3950X, then you have an upgrade path with current hardware released.
     
    I just bought a 3700X and a X570 Taichi late last year. I don't plan on upgrading until Ryzen 5000. I see Ryzen 4000 being a very weird middleman between current offerings and DDR5/PCIE5. So I'd rather not invest in Ryzen 4000 so soon with a much newer platform 1-2 years out from right now.

    It was turned off because the performance impact was pretty high, but I think they've taken steps to improve that recently. I will look into it, and maybe it could return at some point in the future.

    This about sums up why im pissed off about it too, lets be honest everyone assumed that at least the 4xx boards would be good until AMD switched over to DDR5 or a new socket.

    Both Intel and AMD are here to make a profit, but they are not the only ones, even board manufactures too. So you can see why they are doing what they're currently doing. At least on Intel's side while they also screw the consumers with their platform upgrade and such at least they locked users with older boards out of newer cpus with a socket change, so they don't accidentally put the wrong CPU and damage everything.

    EChondo reacted to AlTech in AMD not supporting Zen3 on older motherboards :(   
    That's not practical for them. It would cost too much to maintain several different bios versions. Not to mention how do you even go about telling buyers what package to use depending on their CPU and it just gets very messy.
     
    Ultimately the long term solution is A) motherboards need larger memory chips for the BIOS (which would make motherboards more expensive) and B) greater transparency about what is and isn't supported and for how long that support lasts.
  23. Agree
    EChondo got a reaction from AlTech in AMD not supporting Zen3 on older motherboards :(   
    Even though this would be the best option at the current moment, it'll unfortunately never happen.
     
    Most vendors can't even update a single BIOS in under 3-4 months. There's no way they'll have 2-3 concurrent releases of a BIOS for a single motherboard.

    EChondo got a reaction from Blademaster91 in AMD not supporting Zen3 on older motherboards :(   
    I agree here. This was an absolute mess for B550 release. I'm pretty disappointed AMD/mobo vendors dropped the ball hard here.
     
    I know AMD wants to stop the perception of being the "budget" option, but when literally everything released for a new CPU lineup is nowhere near budget offerings, you've messed up big time.
     
    Again, it is a shitty thing that has happened no doubt about it.
     
    I'm sure behind the scenes they had everything in a solid project roadmap and expected to be able to offer full AM4 support for the full lineup, Ryzen1000/ABX300 to Ryzen4000/BX600, but technologies change and sometimes change fast.
     
    I think the better approach here for AMD would to have been to come out around Ryzen 3000's release and inform everyone that they probably won't be able to meet prior expectations for AM4 support through Zen1-Zen3 and explained in a good tone why this is happening.
     
    Now we have everyone pulling up 3 year old articles and scrolling through Twitter trying to catch AMD in some double-speak and it's bewildering since many of us saw this coming since Ryzen 2000 that this was a possibility.
     
    It sucks, but we'll have to wait and see what Ryzen 4000 offerings are and if it justifies a full CPU+Mobo upgrade or if most of us can wait for Ryzen 5000.
  25. Agree
    EChondo reacted to Blademaster91 in AMD not supporting Zen3 on older motherboards :(   
    There reason to cutoff support for X470/B450 is weird, sure the 16MB bios limitation is on the motherboard companies for cheaping out on flash chips, but if there could be enough cuts to be made to have zen 3000 cpu support on older boards,then I don't see why it can't be done with X470/B450 boards. The people that bought the B450 boards because B550 got delayed should be upset and give the same grief people give Intel for cutting chipset support sooner than they should.
