In other words, there's no way in hell we can innovate and make money right now, so you're stuck here until the AI bubble bursts. Consumer innovation is on full stop while we focus on the corpos.

    AM5 had a poor launch because of high memory prices in the pre AI era.

    Releasing AM6 later might allow AMD to make the platform more economical at launch.

    Or if they launch AM6 early and support AM5 via a dual socket generation (unlikely TBH), that's also good. Use older memory for normal workloads. Upgrade if you want top of the line perf.
