I mean, at this rate, AMD socket longevity is about 3 or 4 times or years that of Intel (which I would say is about the average time many enthusiasts get the upgrade itch with big enough improvements to justify it), at a platform cost that's usually appreciably lower and yet there are some who still expect a commercial entity looking for profits to indefinitely support...everything for every product cycle. Forgetting also that AMD has just 12k in employees for both CPU and GPU operations compared to the 110k for Intel.
Come on now - at some point, they've got to be given the benefit of the doubt...
