Why not. They do make great products. ---

It has nothing to do with the product it has to do with the fact that they just gave me a big middle finger and said my money isnā€™t as good as someone elses. So screwā€™em. I hope they spend every second chasing money they never catch. ---

Sounds more like desperation rather than real help. Desperate to sell CPUs in in form just to keep money coming in. ---

That it may be. But if thereā€™s a need and business meets it, I canā€™t really hold that against them. Iā€™m still on the AM4 platform. Iā€™m not sure if this sort of things spells hope for a simpler upgrade path for me or not. But itā€™s an interesting development. ---

And then theyā€™ll come crawling back to their abandoned customers, calling customers consumers also shows they have not respect for the people that buy their products. ---

> [@joekamprad](#): > > in 2035 we will all run linux on cheap AI Server machines. It seems to be the way _theyā€™d_ like us to go. Everything is a service. Everything has a subscription. _[Insert well known quote about owning nothing here]_ Itā€™s possible to run private and powerful open-source LLMā€™s on your own hardware, but it requires two essential resources to really be useful: 1. One or more GPUā€™s with substantial amounts of VRAM. 2. Gratuitous amounts of RAM. CPU is also important, but the GPU in ideal scenarios really does the heavy lifting there. Isnā€™t it interesting that while the market is pushing everyone towards ā€œAIā€, the market is simultaneously making it harder for people to do this themselves. ---

Most of this CRAP doesnā€™t actually have anything AI in it at all regardless of claims otherwise. Still waiting for the AI Pumpkin Spice Muffin. AI I avoid like the plague, and Pumpkin Spice Iā€™ve never had. ---

I think the AM4 platform is exceptional. I donā€™t have any experience with AM5 and Iā€™m not sure if I would notice the difference. Maybe in high end gaming if I had the hardware for it and I was a gamer.
