Wait what? No? Last I checked AMD usually demos chips without SKU names MONTHS before announcing specific SKUs, then when they DO announce SKUs its usually 1-2 months until release.
AMD have not even DEMO'd Zen 5 in ES form. No "here's it...
Yeah, but you can also just drag on ANY court case with appeals, did you know the Intel Vs AMD case from 2007 is STILL GOING in some territories?

I'm NOT advocating for the idea of running XP at all, but I'd still like to see comparison results from behind a simple consumer router. I mean really... no one buys a cablemodem or similar and plugs it directly into their PC with no router...
