Intel didn’t, however, say that it’s reintroducing any products along the lines of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Edition. At the moment, it seems Intel is focused more on supporting DDR4-based options and keeping them on the market, at least until the memory squeeze loosens its grip.

Notton Intel: We recognize the importance of DDR4 platforms Also Intel: Which is why we ditched DDR4 and LPDDR4 support on Wildcat Lake, and a bunch of other nice-to-have features that Alder Lake-N had. Please buy our old stock sitting in our warehouses. Reply
ezst036 Yeah something someone, someone else. Hey Intel, how about you give us a fab or two that makes DRAM? Nah. Not Intel. Someone else. And also they have abandoned all their "older" sockets which supported DDR4. Tick Tock has been stupid for years. Were the sockets actually older? Kinda not really. Intel just deemed them as old. Tick Tock has been stupid for years. Reply

Please buy our old stock sitting in our warehouses. Is there a problem with old stock sitting in warehouses? They won't be sitting there for very long if production ends. Before the bad times, people advised against Alder Lake-N with the slower DDR4/LPDDR4 because of it being single-channel (maybe it doesn't matter all that much, I'd have to check). The situation has changed now that DDR5/LPDDR5 are luxuries. Other than that, I don't know what nice-to-have features it has that Wildcat Lake doesn't, with the exception of 9x PCIe 3.0 lanes being a better choice than 6x PCIe 4.0 lanes for some products that could use more I/O flexibility, like NAS systems. If Intel is phasing out production of Alder Lake-U to make more server chips on Intel 7, then that's a loss. Cheap Alder Lake-U laptops with empty DDR4 slots were the cheat code. Got a nice 8+32 GB system for around half of these Macbook Neo clone prices. Reply
Shiznizzle The 5800X3D is a non starter in the UK. The chip is a last gen CPU with a dead end and an extremely high cost of 550 pounds sterling on the cheapest platform there is, Amazon. For that price you might as well just buy the 32GB of DDR 5 and an Am5 motherboard and you would still save money. What were AMD thinking? Reply
