I mean it's still awesome sure you can put 3 generations of CPUs on different chipsets for sure, but they said 4 generations and now backed off that. Can understand why people with X370/X470/B450 boards certainly feel a bit cheated there. IF they never promised that, I'm sure no one would really be upset. I mean even last year they were saying directly they would support 4 full generations on chipsets with AM4, which is why a lot of people bought B450 over X570 in the last year still. Just seems like a very Intel-esque move to do this, they shouldn't have that big an issue working around the bios issue just working with those manufacturers to release a downloadable bios for the newest chips basically and ending support for older chips when upgrading. This move they are doing is obviously to just make more $, riding the wave.

My 3900x works fully on my x370.

Was planning to upgrade again on the board because it was still going to be supported. May skip this generation this time.
