But if Intel actually wants to make it better they’d:
stop changing sockets every generation or two (AMD still supports AM4 with CPUs they’re selling right now, and seemingly only change socket when a new RAM standard comes out). To make matters worse, whenever Intel does use the same socket across multiple generations, it’s only generations where there’s a minor performance bump (or a performance regression)
PCs are already modular.

Refuse to certify non-standard OEM motherboards
It’s kinda crazy that I’m using the same motherboard for my 5800X3D that I originally bought for my 1800X.
