Just use Intel CPUs and you'll understand, as they seem to invent a new incompatible socket every five minutes requiring a new mobo.

    That is part of why I have avoided them, far easier to mix and match AMD stuff to meet my price points since their sockets stick around so long!

    Each PC lasts me at least 5 years. I am three or so years on my 5800x3d with a 7090XT I picked up last year and the whole setup will probably still be rocking games past 2030.
