This is why I will choose AMD over Intel for not only my builds, but my friends builds too.
Yes, I might get 2-4% less performance at the absolute top end. But my power usage is lower, and my platform will be upgradable to brand new CPUs 4-5 years from now at a minimum. I saved so much money with my X370 build going from a 1600X to a 5700X3D (8 years of CPU upgrades, insane), no need for a new motherboard or RAM unlike Intel would have required since they suck at supporting their sockets.
The only thing I will use Intel for is a Plex server.

Great, now i can upgrade my i5 11400 to a ryzen 7 5700x for less money

Still less than AM4 but we’ll see what that + will do.

On AMD you get 3-4 generations, on Intel you get 1 generation, maybe a refresh and once every 5 years also a rename. This is the main reason i won’t buy into an Intel platform

My new build won’t be till 2026 lmao coming from AM4 shoot

Making the switch for the first time ever from Intel to AMD. Now that Ive gotten a tad older with a few more bills, platform support is something Ive learned to appreciate. Waiting for Zen 5 benchmarks and will decide on that or a 7600x / 7800x3d. Going to be a new experience and will have to learn the AMD side of things

well just hope AM5 get zen 6 at minimum, if its 2027+ but only refresh of zen5 like AM4 currently is now then its bs

So if I have a 7800x3d, I will be able to upgrade to the generation after the 9000-series?
NiceSpectre
they dont specify that ZEN 6 or ZEN 7 will be on AM5 only that am5 will be supported to 2027 and beyond. meaning they could just keep launching ryzen 7000 refreshes as they are doing now with am4. if they did do that that would be pretty misleiding

Me still on my am4 thinking am5 was super new.
larsloveslegos
Oh good, I have plenty of time to stay on AM4 then

9700x still not matching 13600k. Wow. Makes 0 sense to go for amd

That was expected but launching new decent AM4 CPUs wasn’t expected at all

That’s so nice they’re extending the support. It will allow for upgrades. They care about their customers.

Yeah fuck shintel
Though quite sad that there’s no core count increase another generation yet again
