I have some questions for AMD, though surely we'll never have an answer as their recent silence is already one answer for many of them.
Anyway, here it goes:
- Why was B550 so late ?
- Why was this support/compatibility annouced so late ? Wasn't it known when Zen 2 launched ? If not, when was it known ? Even so, wasn't a lack of guarantee known in advance ? Couldn't AMD give some warnings going forward ?
- When making the decision to absolutely not support any 3xx or 4xx chipsets for Zen 3 CPUs, were any board partners consulted ?
- Wasn't AMD aware that many customers are buying B450 specifically to upgrade to a Zen 3 CPU ? Why wasn't there any communication ?
- Why is AMD still so silent about the matter ? How could a customer not think that AMD simply pulled an Intel out of greed and/or lack of care ? That is, simply abandon a part of customers and move forward, because it's easier. How can an AMD fan have the benefit of the doubt now ?
- Seeing customers and media perception (especially seeing MSI promises) and not having any comment on them, any try to address the issue as soon as possible (so there's as little damage as possible), isn't AMD concerned that the whole community will be less trustful of ANY marketing and promise going further ? Isn't that a bigger price to pay than being honest and trying to work with the partners and the community ? Does anyone at AMD think it's ok to say now that "well, we only said Socket AM4 support, nothing about chipsets" ? How could the community at large realize the difficulty of providing this kind of support when no attempts at it were made and when AMD is being so shady ?
Sigh
