Intel to release new CPUs on old socket in early 2027 says Gigabyte - memory crisis making DDR4 desirable again

a day ago by Hueristic_Autistic to c/technology

Likely to offer new options with DDR4 support.

So you mean to tell me they had the technology the whole time to make upgraded modular chips and sell them for pre-existing computer architecture but chose not to because they knew people would pay for the shiny new toys.

There's a chip crisis and SUDDENLY!!!!!! We're all able to use new technologies on old computer architectures.......

Call it supply and demand but I think that's fucked up nm which way you look at it.

I read that and then immediately thought to myself, so they just chose not to release upgrades for old architectures and speed released a shit load of new hardware they knew people would pay OTA for.

This whole time they could've actually been making old computers better than they are and make it so the consumer didn't have to spend a fuck load on upgrades but waited till a chip shortage to do it.....

Rolling with my 5800X3D 'till the wheels fall off and even then I have a 5700X3D as a backup. I'm not upgrading until 5090-level GPU performance is available for less than $800.

I drove my FX-8320 into the ground through college and a few years beyond. That poor little chip got tortured with so much voltage...

My 5800X3D will be in my maxed out AM4 rig for a looonnnggg time.
