Therefore, read below which components currently cost how much and what you can buy.
AMD’s CPU division has been able to catch up very well with Intel in recent years and, with Zen 3, has delivered an absolutely convincing and well-rounded product that clearly surpassed Intel’s tenth and eleventh generations at the time. Intel was able to fight back with Alder Lake, so the hopes were pinned on Zen 4. However, Zen 4 was only partially able to deliver. Although the processors are of course faster than their predecessors, the TDPs and PPTs have also increased significantly and the platform costs are enormous with DDR5 memory and the new mainboards.
