I’m wanting to upgrade this month as I’ve previously posted. I’m going from a 9700k.
Initially I was looking at the 14700k but now I’m considering the AM5 platform.
It’s cheaper, the socket will have a longer lifespan and the 7800X3D is superior in games.
What are people’s thoughts?
I had an X370 mobo I got used really cheap to upgrade to something relevant to years ago, I ended up snagging a used 3900X when Ryzen 5000 dropped. I ran that until they updated the BIOS and 5000 series was viable on the same board. Went to 5950X. I had no problems until I upgraded to 6900XT GPU, had tons of gremlins that turned out to be due to the RAM stability/IMC not wanting to run CL16 timings (stock or XMP) with that GPU. Ordered 13900K and DDR4 mobo, migrated RAM and rebuilt PC. If I would have figured out the issue with the RAM sooner, I would have just kept the 5950X honestly. It was a beast. At least with the platform upgrade, I got more M.2 drives and a really solid board layout for my use. I don’t regret going Intel but the AMD stuff was also awesome.
