Nobody is forced to buy this. If it didn’t sell they wouldn’t make it.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with selling it or people buying it, Zen still works, but it is wrong for AMD to sell something they drop support for. Also, not sure how well this would work for windows 11. Perhaps if 10 or linux.

Yeah, if there's a market for older CPUs they're going to sell it.

I mean Intel still manufactured new original 386 chips until 2007 or so, more than 20 years after release. And who knows how long they still had stock for, if you asked them today with enough $$$ they might find some in a warehouse somewhere.

I beleive some of the early x86 stock was bought up by the space industry as well, along with powerpc and things like that. very large process nodes and simple as possible feature set are a simple way to increase resistance to radiation effects before shielding.

Most accurate comment ever.
