Imagine still being on Sata 1, DDR1, and PCIE 1 or even AGP if this was the case.

Only reason I stuck to Intel is I decided to keep my high end DDR4. If I was building a new system with DDR5 right now, I would be getting the 7800X3D.

Theres some people running Micron B rev configs in either 2x32 or 4x16 which can still do 4300-4400 G1. 4xDR compatibility is also listed at 4400 on current DDR4 mobos.

The problem is that ram went EOL like 3 years ago and you can only get it second hand now. I totally screwed up by not getting 4x16 when it went on EOL sale.

This is actually a lot better for 128 Gb than 4800 DDR5 G2.

Well the fact is that every gen, the 900K launches at the same price as the previous one did.

£580 for a 14900K, £1600 for a 4090.

Same with the rest of the chips as well, you basically get at least a faster chip at the same launch price.

AMD aren’t usually any better for pricing, also nothing to compete in the budget segment against non K I3 and I5 chips.

Its likely the gigabyte, the majority of them can’t even run the Intel stock 3200 / 5600 ram speeds without Bsods.
