Sounds fantastic. Fuck all use if I need a mortgage to buy ram though.

Finally more than 8 cores per CCD. Dual CDDs suck for gaming (although it’s entirely fixable via software) but sometimes you just kinda need more cores. There’s plenty of times where my 9800x3d is pretty heavily loaded and two or four more cores would help immensely. Even if it’s just to handle background tasks.

Can it run without RAM tho? DDR4 boards would also work for me

I did well to put together a new computer in 2023. One of these days I’ll be throwing the 16 core of this generation or the next if it’s still AM5 into this. Once this is out I’ll be excitedly reading Zen 7 rumors if it’ll be new socket or if DDR6 and AI had thrown a wrench in new socket plans
