That's something I really like about AMD. They don't change their physical sockets all that often, and you can generally use the same motherboard/RAM for 2-3 CPU generations. It's also nice that all CPUs support the same features (IOMMU, hardware virt, etc) within a generation, with the only differentiation being frequency, number of cores, and wattage. Makes it so much easier to plan purchases.
