How long will AM4 processors remain available.

Yeah I personally still have a 1700 and looking to buy a 5700 or similar. While the 1700 does all that I need, a drop in 5700 would be a good option to future proof as I did replace my POS Asus board a year or so back and the newer MSI supports it.

AMD said they were going to continue to support AM4 along side AM5, so I dont think they are going to run thin anytime soon, they've also just released a new AGESA for AM4 aimed towards the 5800X3D

AMD says AM4 is here to stay
"Will continue for many years to come" While it has officially unveiled its next-gen AM5 platform at Computex, AMD was keen to note that the AM4 platform is not going anywhere and it is here to stay. AMD's AM4 socket has been doing well and has gone through five architectures, 4 process...

do you still believe in santa?
it would be nice but i cant see it, the will continue to make 5000 chips till they run out of dies. your not going to EOL a produced if you still have thousands of chiplets.
also the out lay to go AM5 right now is massive so they know AM4 will remain relevant for a 1 or maybe 2

Just got a brand new retail boxed 5700X for £179.99 delivered next day, couldn't pass that up!
For £40 more you could have got a used 5800x3d

Didn't want one. Wanted low tdp/low temps/quiet fans for the build I'm doing and brand new with warranty as with the rest of the build.
They're still making older zen for some use cases, imho it's not impossible they will try to target laggards with one last budget upgrade, likely after most of this gen sales projections are filled.

You're not making any sense. How can they be the same? The 5700x is 65w tdp, the X3D is 105, the X3D runs hot the 5700x doesn't. Ones new with warranty the others 2nd hand.

So you can now see why that was a decent saving then? As there's a fair bit of a difference in price between an X3D and a 5700X isn't there.
Yes if buying new there is a big price difference, but I have never is 25 years needed a cpu warranty. You could have saved £70 just getting a used 5700x

It would be awesome but has anyone done this before or is it just a pipe dream? Off the top of head I don't remember anyone bringing in a new range once a platform has been superceded, they'd worry about cannibalising sales on the new platform.
5700X is a really nice CPU upgrade from a 1700X.
