Threadripper 2950X with 32GB of RAM with a Vega64 XTX and I cant bump to Windows 11 because they removed the Zen 1+ from the official compatibility list.
It is insane to me that any of this is somehow a gacha. Did Microsoft pull the ladder
again?
Here are some of my systems:
Athlon 2650e | 2GB DDR2 | Flareon 10GbE: Runs Windows Server 2016. Windows 11 untested. Likely ladder-pulled over missing CPU instructions.
Phenom II X4 955 | 8GB DDR3: Retired. Didn't like Windows 10 and I can assume 11 is just as unstable.
Atom x7-Z8700 | 4GB DDR3: A Surface 3 refurb (barely) running Windows 10. Can (barely) run Windows 11. I keep it uncluttered.
FX-8370 | 16GB DDR3 | Quadro P620 2GB: Runs Windows Server 2016. Was able to run Windows 11 at launch. Did something change that?
Ryzen 5 3600 | 64GB DDR4 | RX580 | SolarFlare 10GbE: Runs Windows 10 (22H2). Comaptible with Windows 11.
A single core system from 2009 getting ladder pulled, I understand. Same with any quad core older than 2015.
My 8-core FX is a 2014 product and is still a huge magical contender in this world. When it dies? Nobody knows.
My 3600 is a 3rd gen Ryzen product from 2019 and Win11 compatible but has a greater purpose than Microslop.
Someone explain to me how a 16c/32t HEDT part a year older than my Ryzen isn't whitelisted by Redmond wizards.
Windows 11 was a product of the coof period. Was the brain damage so infectious it continues to reach into big 2025?
It doesn’t matter, their support list is a meme and mostly aimed at system integrators.
This has been my main takeaway from all of this noise until the instruction gatekeeping with POPCNT started.
Soooooo yeah. The Athlon is definitely not going to be running this one at all.
Ryzen is much more up to the task.
That's a decade's worth of difference on AMD's side only. You are not going to have such a catastrophic disparity from a Threadripper.
