It's interesting to see 5k series, is the adoption of 7k that bad or do they just have a lot of 5k series left?
Or is 7k too expensive so 5k is kept on live support to keep something in that price range?
I agree it's a bit puzzling? It's crazy that AMD is releasing a new CPU for a 7 year old platform.
But admittedly I am personally still running with my trusty old Ryzen 5 1600, maybe I'd consider an upgrade just because it's easy and cheap, but it's not like I really need it.
I'm guessing there are a lot of AM4 motherboards out there, so there is still a market for making upgrades for them.
it's probably more because intel hasn't dropped ddr4 yet in their new chips, and won't until late '24/early '25 with arrow lake and the new socket.
