CPU and GPU production isn't really something with much wiggle room. It takes years to plan out these releases, so they're pretty much set in stone (barring unforseen delays). They could have just cancelled Rocket Lake of course, but that would have A) left them without any sort of response to Zen 3 for close to a year and B) resulted in a huge sunk cost for the R&D that went into the architecture. Better from their point of view to just throw it out there and recoup what they can. It also allows them to say that Z490 got its standard two generations of CPUs, to ward off anybody getting angry about it being dead post-Comet Lake. The whole thing is remarkably similar to Broadwell, which was also shoved out there as an obligation, despite being an underperforming non-upgrade from Haswell/Devil's Canyon and released mere months before an actual breakthrough architecture in Skylake. Moreso when you consider that the iGPU is probably the most interesting part of both.
It's coarse and rough and irritating
I gave him a heads up in this thread after his silly comments above mine :- https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/posts/34655519/
He does type some rubbish though, like saying a 3000 series GPU is wasted at 1440p, banging on about 10GB vram not being enough for 4k and then buying one himself. Waxing lyrical over Intel chips.
Im sure a simple bios update will fix this
