One of the reasons people build a desktop PC is to be able to upgrade only the chip and have access to the latest technologies on the market, and that's what happens with AMD, not Intel.
These Intel chips are born dead; they'll only have a 10-month lifespan because Nova Lake changed everything.
With AM5 = 9 years of upgrades: Zen 4, Zen 5, Zen 6, and rumored Zen 7 in 2030.
It's clear that chips have made a huge leap in performance in the last two years with the help of AI. If you buy an AM5 motherboard, you can upgrade to processors that will be released in 2030 with the latest microarchitecture technologies.
This is one of the reasons why AMD sells more PCs than Intel. Currently, it's impossible to buy an Intel chip here in Europe; they're very expensive compared to the advantages offered by AMD and its future upgrades.
