alt Hacker NewsI would figure the opposite. There are plenty of people like me staying on AM4 because of the RAM price increases. I will probably skip AM5 entirely.

I am a hypocrite, but there is really not that much need to upgrade CPUs anymore. Even a ten year old chip seems completely adequate for day to day use. I played with a N100 recently and those things are incredibly capable.
(Ignore my AM5 workstation with 192GB RAM in the corner)

and do what, buy now-hideously expensive DDR6?
But they are still gonna fab the Zen 6 chips. So for people already with AM5 motherboards populated with RAM but rocking a Zen 4 CPU this could be a good time to upgrade that CPU with your existing setup. You passing this generation just means less competition for those CPUs which should make them even cheaper.
