The chipset roadmap got pretty chaotic this year, with some boards launching way later than expected. Did you end up waiting longer than usual for a new system? And how’s that affecting your upgrade plans? I’m stuck between sticking with my older board or going for a full refresh despite the delays. What’s your take on playing the waiting game here?
Chipset update delays: AMD vs Intel motherboards in 2024?

Yeah, I feel that pain. The ASRock X670E Taichi I ordered last summer finally arrived in February—over two months late. It’s not just AMD either; even Intel’s Z790 boards had random shortages depending on the brand.
I get the frustration, but honestly, if the performance jump to a new gen is worth it for you, don’t let chipset delays hold you back. I ended up biting the bullet on the full refresh anyway since DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 are game-changers for my workload. The extra wait was annoying, but no way I’m going back to DDR4 now.
