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’ve always gone whichever one gives me the best performance for what I’m doing. I’m currently using a 7950x, but before that, I was using a 11900k. Some downsides of AM5 I’ve experienced (on an MSI B650) are no sleep mode, and it takes longer to boot up. Supposedly because it is training the ram. I actually have no idea why it takes so long to boot up, though, so take that with a grain of salt. I have heard some AM5 mobos will allow sleep mode so I would do some research there.
