      Intel is well known for requiring a new board for each new CPU generation, even if it is the same socket. AMD on the other hand is known to push stuff to its physical limits before they break compatibility.

        But why? Did Intel make a deal with the board manufacturers? Is this tradition from the days when they build boards themselves?

        I thought they just didn’t care and wanted as little restrictions for their chip design as possible, but if this actually works without drawbacks, that theory is out the window.

          Just another instance of common anti-consumer behavior from multi billion dollar companies who have no respect for the customers that line their pockets.
