I feel much the same with their CPU division. While I don't think anyone needs more than 16 cores... there was a time when nobody needed more than 4. then suddenly, AMD whipped Intel's ass into gear and 8-cores became the norm, and anyone with 4 cores was hurting, BADLY. Software devs LEARNED TO...

Oh, people think this generation of Geforce is WAY too overpriced? And Nvidia...
Not really.
Nvidia does not need any external competition, They've pretty much dominated every market they chose to compete in. I hate monopolies, but even when Radeon was in its prime: Nvidia never had competition. They did not stop innovating and creating the markets and the rules to play...

AMD would be incredibly, unfathomably stupid if they didn't support AM5 with modern CPUs for at LEAST 3 REAL generations.
The issue is, AMD has been incredibly, unbelievably stupid before....
At this point just call it the Xbox 360-2
The 360 was the ONLY successful Xbox console. build on that design philosophy instead of trying to make better-and-better Gamepass subscription machines.
