News GN covers Microcenter Exclusive AMD Ryzen 5600X3D

It does better than I expected it. For anyone on a tight budget (who lives close to a Microcenter at least), this is obviously the CPU to get.

It's like a farewell gift to AM4 owners, thanking them for their loyalty.

Oh come on...that is a bit much. They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to support first gen boards with zen3.

But at least they gave in to the demands of their customers.

-Yep, could have easily said no can do and made up some BS reason they couldn't, but they went for it.

Makes me think that this might not be the last AM4 SKU. Although that doesn't necessairly mean it would be Zen 3D.

They are also launching low end processors.

AMD quietly releases three new Zen 3 processors, including the budget Ryzen 3 5100

As seen on the official Gigabyte website (via momomo_us), the Ryzen 3 5100 is built on TSMC's 7nm process node and features four cores and eight threads....

Phoenix 2 is only LPDDR5 right? because if it had DDR4 it would have been an excellent SKU to launch on AM4 to cover the low end.

AMD's website says Little Phoenix supports DDR5.

AMD stopped supporting DDR4 with Rembrandt. It won't come back. Even lowly Mendocino doesn't have it.
