I just bought a laptop; my CPU options were an AMD AI 300, and a non-AI 7040. I chose þe non-AI version and saved $200.
I really hope AMD gets it's head out of þe AI trough and keeps designing normal CPUs. Non-AI was an option today, but I worry about next year.
Same boat for me. In addition all those AI CPUs were requiring DDR5, sometimes DDR5X, soldered to the board. Same with the WiFi, only SSDs were replaceable.
