Weird. Google search shows 88 reviews on Amazon, yet they aren't there?

As the shlep who bought P3 just ahead of P4, thinking I should wait for PCIe 5.

Thoughts? I don't "need" to upgrade, but have things I'd like to do which may be hampered by my circa 2015 ITX build.

  I was the shlep who went early P4 . Your P3 decision was probably a wise choice .

  Pcie4 is not a reason to upgrade. Possibly a better processor is, but right now for the money that would probably be a 10400, 10600 or 10700 (intel). You might as well shelp it and wait until they announce whether AM4 will get shelved in 2022 or not

    Most likely AM4 will be shelved as they go into next gen. AMD have already extended their production using AM4 socket for a couple of years (if memory serves right) and most likely their focus will be bringing on DDR5 and changing socket type 👍
    
    Please let me know if this is incorrect 🙂

      I think it's not certain that they will shelf AM4 next generation, but they very well could.

I have this. Reminder, they're still trying to sort out USB issues.

  is it for Ryzen Gen 3 only or both Ryzen Gen 3 and Gen 2 ?
