'The same is true of the Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F, but these chips will be targeting AMD's newer AM5 platform instead.'

I think that bit ought to be clarified a little more. I very nearly missed it; just for a minute there I was thinking that these would be Zen 4 for AM4, and how would that even be possible?

Yes the amd topology can mix anything you can have zen 5 6 on am4. Who say what combo you can make is the i/o chip but will not be cheap

I'm still annoyed there was no Zen upgrade of the AM1 platform, the ultimate budget option back in the day, or AM3+.

Whats record for longevity of a socket as seems like AM4 might be getting there (if not already)

The AM1 and FM2 are the AMD "science schol project". Just to test how APU work and what kind of market they can take share.

Well this is good news. I bought the Microcenter exclusive 5600X3D and that has been quite good for gaming so far. A 5800XT3D (if it gets released) would probably be a nice stopgap two or three years in the future until building an entirely new system about five years from now.
