Yes, they did.

"In 2016, we made a pretty bold commitment to you: we would continue to support AMD Socket AM4 until 2020." This was in their promotional material as well, and when they tried to back out and got backlash they apologized and blamed "lack of resources", then "lack of ROM space on motherboards", and "we only meant the socket for manufacturers, not the CPU". Every cop out that, if intel or nvidia pulled, would result in an internet flame mob big enough to bankrupt the company.
Good that you were able to obtain source. However, while AMD said support for AM4, they're right. There were new CPUs for AM4 socket. Zen3 launched 2020 so that more than fills promise to support AM4 for 2020.
Like I said, AMD did not promise every new AM4 processor would fit in every AM4 motherboard ever made. But, AM4 was supported even on this year, 5800X3D is for AM4.
That is a cop-out. If you support a socket, you support a socket. Anything short of supporting the next generation on the socket is disingenuous at best and outright false advertising at worst.
Also, literally in the review you are commenting on:
"Meanwhile, AMD has already committed to the AM5 socket through 2025 which should see at least two more CPU generations on AM5."
Stop trying to meatshield a multi million dollar company and learn to read.
Yes. I can read. AMD supports AM5 until end of 2025 which means that there won't be another socket for AMD desktop CPUs until 2026. Simple.
However that does NOT mean all future AM5 CPUs will fit on any AM5 motherboard released today. Unless AMD promises so, of course.
To make it more precise: AMD does NOT make motherboards. AMD could NOT promise any CPU support for certain motherboards because AMD is NOT making motherboards. AMD could only promise support for socket, motherboard manufacturers COULD offer support for new CPUs on older motherboards. But that's not something AMD could do.
Well, outside of meaning that anyone who doesnt have watercooling wont be able to use anywhere near the full power of that expensive $300 entry level chip they just bought, and rapid excessive heat cycling being REALLY hard on solder joints, no there is no problem.
And how is 95 degrees magically so bad? To remind you, even 2013 Intel Haswell easily runs around 95-100 degrees when running AVX loads. You could add almost any Intel high end desktop CPU after 2013 on same list.
I assume most motherboards using those Intel CPUs broke down very quickly? Or perhaps same thing that is supposed to be problem on AMD was not problem for Intel for 9 years and counting
if you cannot see a problem at 95 degrees it's YOUR problem. That's insane.
Like I said above, even Over 95 degrees was not problem for Intel for years.
I'd like to hear temperature for CPU that is NOT problem. 90? 85? 80? 75? Why 95 is magically problem even when Intel CPUs and motherboards have not had problems for 9 years or so?
