IMHO dump the A320 board and the socket as a whole. Maybe wait a little and jump to AM5. It’s more expensive for sure, but it’s worth it. Your A320 board is likely not supporting the higher end AM4 cpus and the VRMs will run HOT.

If you need to buy another board + CPU for an upgrade, it makes no sense to buy AM4. A 7600X + B650 board will cost you 350€ now and 32Gb DDR5 ram will push it to 460€. Maybe next year these will be cheaper.

imho, sell the 5600x and get a 5800x3d. That’s a 200$ upgrade. Going AM5 means spending at least 450-500$ and DDR6 sticks are expected to drop by 2026. Skip DDR5 entirely.

a budget thing, but at that point just save another couple months.

Yeah, but you wait a couple of months, then new stuff is announced and they tell you wait another couple of months and next thing you know, time has passed and you’re still waiting with your old hardware.

IMHO if the 5500X3D and the 5700X3D come out with a good price tag, it’s worth considering over the 5800X3D if that means getting a better GPU.

It launched a year and a half ago…

if you already own a 5800x it’s not worth it to spend 300$ on a 5800x3d. If you have 300$ spare, then sell your platform and buy into AM5.

I mean whats the point? The 5700X3D will be basically a slower 5800x3D. Seems odd to me. I would have liked to see more CPUs with v-cache like a 5500X3D and v-cache on APUs.

Bro same here, bought my x3d this morning and thought were dropping something new now and panicked a bit.
