It's interesting to see 5k series, is the adoption of 7k that bad or do they just have a lot of 5k series left?

Or is 7k too expensive so 5k is kept on live support to keep something in that price range?

I agree it's a bit puzzling? It's crazy that AMD is releasing a new CPU for a 7 year old platform.
But admittedly I am personally still running with my trusty old Ryzen 5 1600, maybe I'd consider an upgrade just because it's easy and cheap, but it's not like I really need it.
I'm guessing there are a lot of AM4 motherboards out there, so there is still a market for making upgrades for them.

Nice, you and me both. 1700 still in my daily driver and a 1600 I got on a combo sale from Fry’s (RIP) for my home camera NVR system.

I keep feeling the itch to upgrade, but realistically, they’re still doing fine.

Yeah that 1700 was basically a $1000 workstation CPU if you needed that level of performance a year earlier.
Ryzen was insane value at the time. ;)
