In my desk drawer I have an old A6 construction core based APU that is socket AM4. I had a problem with one of the machines, thought it might be the CPU, so popped the A6 in there. The ability to chop and change parts between so many machines is awesome. That 2600X is due an upgrade, but I'm sure I can find a use for that chip if it comes out, but that would require a new motherboard. So the new chip would go in the existing B350, and the 2600X into whatever was available at the time which could be B550 or whatever.
