I did not buy the 5600X at release, I got it for $100 used in our for sale forum about a year later, so get rekt.
One of the huge caveats being with Ivy Bridge you got what you got. With Zen 3 the 3Ds showed up, allowing you a big uplift in gaming performance that could drop in the board. IB i7 benefited from zero competition and very anemic console CPUs too. Sales wise, Zen 3 has crushed everything.
I quoted this to give anyone reading it an FYI. The forum rule about having to provide your own commentary has been amended. Think of it as the "A picture is worth a 1000 words." amendment. If the content speaks for itself as this example does, there will be no action taken against you for failing to add your own hot take."Despite the addition of its newer Zen 4 chips, AMD has continued developing its Zen 3 chips, and the Ryzen 7 5700X3D was released just this year. AMD says it will continue to support AM4 for the foreseeable future as a value-centric platform for the lower end of the market, and that has certainly come to fruition — AM4, which debuted back in 2017, is in its eighth year of service, the longest-supported modern socket that still receives new processor additions."

AM4 is the GOAT and it isn't even close. Pulled AMD out of the death spiral. Not only forced the core wars, but kicked Intel's lucrative HEDT division right in the wedding tackle. Has outsold any other retail platform ever. Zen 3 is especially long lived and successful. Though the Ryzen 3600 is a legend in its own right, presently selling in the top 20 on Amazon NIB. That's almost mental historically speaking.I think AM4 might be the longest serving socket ever, let alone "modern socket". The only thing that comes to mind is Socket 7, or maybe AM2.
AMD’s share in the x86 CPU market share inched upward against Intel in the first quarter thanks in part to “surprisingly strong” shipments of the company’s Ryzen 5000 desktop processors
AM4's EOL can't be before 2028 anyway since AM4 is offered for embedded solutions since last year with guaranteed availability for then next 5 years. Or do you mean one or two years on top of that?At this rate AMD will have to postpone the AM4 scheduled EOL by a year if not two.

Bolded for truth. North Americans often forget about the rest of the world and its lower purchasing power.On top of what was scheduled for the consumer market of course, surely that AM4 chips are way enough in average income countries, and in rich countries that s a convenient plateform for dirt cheap PCs, even a 5600G is overkill for basic usages like social media, youtube or small office.
