seriously confused at why anyone, especially Intel, is releasing new PCIe gen 3 products still. They've been years behind AMD and PCIe gen 4, and are even saying they are releasing PCIe gen 5 later this year. All of which are backwards compatible, so the excuse of a lot of people still have PCIe gen 3 doesn't cut it.
I was going to add, "especially with AMD's market share skyrocketing", but I'm not so sure if that's the case any more. AMD has suffered the stock issue while Intel's new CPUs haven't as much. Even myself, I was waiting months to try to get an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, but could never find stock. What I did find last month was an Intel Core i9 11900k. "A bird in the hand..." and all that crap.
