People a week ago: “you’re all stupid, DDR4 is not impacted”

Just wait. Scarcity loves company.

AM4 is the greatest CPU socket that has ever been created.

The fact some shitty athlons were sold on it, but also something like a 5800X3D that has held up so well that some people are still willing to pay this much years later is astonishing to me.

Am I lucky or what. Built my first ever PC a few months ago before all this crap started. My only regret is going with 32gb ram instead of 64.

Now it’s starting to make sense. Wanted to upgrade my old processor to something newer, but still AM4. Prices are stupidly high.

This is the kind of weird stuff that happens near the peak of a bubble.

AMD fucked up hard by discontinuing 5700/5800X3D

So glad I don’t have money for a new PC for some years anyways 😂

Guess it was good I jumped on the 5700 X3D when I was able to.

Wonder what 3 series sells for… 3700X, etc.

I should sell my machine for more than I paid, I don’t mind dropping back to AM3+/DDR3 if it means I can spec a replacement later and make some extra money on top of it.

This is a weird post. 5800x3d might be “legacy” but other am4 chips are still being manufactured.

Jokes on them I just ordered a used r 5 5600x for a $140 upgrade. My shits old as dirt. I was on a 1600x and a 1060 GPU.

And here I was thinking id just upgrade to one of these on my AM4 board… guess not.

Makes sense, considering DDR4 has only gone up 2x.
Though now I need to but the motherboard sooner than later, lest there be no good stock by the time I get to it.

I orderes a new 5700x 2 days ago fearing they might vanish forever as there are probably only stocks left.

I had one added for around 2 weeks in my amazon cart, but over here, in Spain, they went out of stock meanwhile, so I managed to order one from pccomponentes.com and I’m glad I did.

I still get to keep my 32 Gb DDR4 for a couple more years, hopefully.

I guess my overheating 3800X is going to have to last a few more years…
