AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Review: Why Is This Amazon's Best Selling CPU?

Replying with supposition, "I am almost 100% sure, it won't work on A320," to vendor-supplied guidance (linked image in parent to supposition) on exactly what is and isn't intended to be supported comes across as rude. It makes it seem like there is no desire to engage in a conversation, but rather just to speak one's thoughts without regard to the partner. If the first response to engage with a specific user is to critique them for the gall of calling out that they're repeating themselves, it seems rather a callous disregard for others.

Oh good, so you'll see I post on lots of hardware threads, and usually provide links to help clarify things, and my own experience where relevant. And you'll surely have gone back far enough to see my comments on Intel CPU threads focusing on the topic of the thread (Intel) when those were the common ones. I share what I know, because not so many people try to keep up with PC hardware and it can often be confusing with lots of numbers and letters. I try to remove uncertainty and leave helpful breadcrumbs for later readers.

So you should understand that the exchange that goes like this might be seen as someone ignoring facts brought to the table by a conversation partner:

Someone: incorrect statement (3000-series only on B550+)

Sometwo: correction, clarification, link to spec

Someone: supposition (I am almost sure)

Sometwo: precise specification to remove the need for supposition, link to spec again

Someone: criticism of sometwo for attitude regarding continued provision of vendor-supplied information in favor of someone's false statements and suppositions

If I'm reading this thread, for any hope of information about Ryzen compatibility, you've lied to me once, and given me a guess. I've provided links to manufacturer guidance and ruffled someone's feathers. But facts are more useful.
