And regarding the AM4 situation, when do you anticipate AMD might switch to a new socket? (I understand you're wondering about this, though I couldn't locate any recent announcements through a quick search.)

AMD indicated that the AM4 architecture would remain compatible through at least 2020. It likely ended around that time. The upcoming CPU models might be AM5, though this is uncertain.

They'll receive a replacement socket when necessary... if the DDR5 technology is ready and USB 4 (including Thunderbolt features) meets the required standards. I think DDR5 will hold less weight compared to PCI-E 4.0 right now, as PCI-E 4.0 isn't that crucial for performance gains. USB seems adequate for most needs, and its use of Thunderbolt isn't significant enough to change much. It might be useful for APUs, but overall it's probably just a minor consideration.
