Time to upgrade to AMD

You are right. 10+3 is the auros pro. Auros elite is 5+3. All of them are Onsemi ones. Pretty cheap

in comparison, the mortar has 8+2 and is rated 60A Renesas. Not the most extreme ones you can get which are 90A/phase. But 60a is loads.

hopefully the 4000 chips are better clocking with lower power etc.

Then it's PCB layers, how they have wired the PCIe lanes and ram speed.

I know the master does 5200+ but at next ratio setting with APU easily without going sub zero
Pro B550 also does 4400hz easily enough . 8 and 6 layer PCB .

If someone is hoping to slap in Zen 3 and wanting to go in hard... Middle ground b550 at least and grab 4000hz ram on deal which isn't to much more then 3600hz
