AMD Memory Promotion - Will It Apply to 7800X3D?
I'm anticipating the release of the 7800X3D CPU later this month - wondering if the "Free 32GB DDR5" promotion is planned to be attached to the X3D releases, too? With that, it's enough to steer my build away from a 13700k, otherwise, going to stay Intel for now.

Monitor Port question
I'm trying to buy my first monitor to connect to my Mac AirBook. I was told I need a USBC connection. Is that the case, and how can I tell in the advertised monitors whether or not it has that type of connection? Everything says HDMI. Also, do I need to buy a Thunderbolt 4 for the best connectivity?
