considering that AMD's chipsets use more power than intels, their feature sets are quite outdated, their cpus are power hogs compared to intel, their performance is lower than intels, and people are choosing intel in droves, id consider AMD replacing that hardware isnt just worthwhile, it's a necessity.
If it still works for you, great. but clearly, that line of thinking has gotten AMD in trouble, as FX is a dead horse, and most gamers go with intel. AMD had 35% of the cpu market IIRC, back when phenom II was in, according to steam. today, its down to 28%, and still falling. this is not sustainable.
Im giving them till zen comes out, and if they still havent gotten their game together, im going back to intel. a nice high end micro atx board isnt that hard to make, and these chipsets should have been upgraded back in 2012.
