Yes, the AM4 won't work with newer generation chips in the future. However, my point is that if you intend to upgrade later on the same platform, it's a poor choice. Whether you go low-end or high-end, saving by skipping upgrades often ends up costing more than expected. Also, replacing old components with new ones usually doesn't save much extra money.
This comment seems to be confusing or irrelevant. The main point appears to be about making a decision on upgrading hardware, but the tone suggests frustration and a lack of clarity. It’s worth considering whether you need more cores or performance improvements for your current setup.

It seems like it has a duck-like appearance, behavior, and sound, so it's likely a duck.
I explain it simply: The LGA1200 will get swapped for LGA1700 in the 12th generation, making Rocket Lake outdated before it even hits the market.
Most Intel CPUs and motherboards are essentially outdated at launch, with no upgrade options built in. Ryzen’s four-year support period is a positive step, though not ideal. It would be worth watching how the 11th generation performs and whether PCIe 4 is included by default or requires additional hardware.
I track how often I swap in new CPUs while keeping the same motherboard, using just one hand and one finger. If I replace the CPU instead of swapping the board, it’s likely the old one failed and I’m mainly after a quick change. With today’s tech trends, getting a new generation CPU usually means a new motherboard too, otherwise you’ll miss out on key upgrades and advantages. Prices can range from about $80 to $250 based on board quality. For some, that’s a big expense, but for others it’s manageable if they’re on a tighter budget. If you’re tight on funds, an 80-dollar board is more than enough... while a premium option should have been considered from the start.
