AM4 Retrospective & AM5 Expectations (Die Shrink Telegrams) (Patreon)

Back in 2017 what did you think of the AM4 platform? Did you think it was a mess? Did you expect it to improve for...7 years?!  Alright, well now what do you expect out of AM5?

As we get closer to the launch of AM5's second (third?) generation of products, Zen 5, we thought it would be fun to center the next episode of Die Shrink on these three main topics:

• A Retrospective on AM4 - Expectations in 2017, how our feeling evolved, and it's legacy.
• Expectations for AM5 - Is it in a better place than AM4 was after 1 year? How long will it last?
• Next Upgrades - Is Tom waiting for Zen 6? Does Dan ever plan to upgrade? What about you all?
