That’s why I’m not upgrading.
I’m hoping to get a lot more than a couple of years out of my parts. I would much rather wait another 3 years and get something actually upgradeable…
AM5 came out 4 years ago!
Fair enough! I got 7 years out of my 2700x setup so it served me well and I never buy the latest and greatest so it was time for an upgrade for my life!
with my 5700x3d I figure I won’t be upgrading for another 6 years or so
Also though just putting this out there. The prices of computer parts are highly volatile right now. Its honestly a bit of a gamble to expect the computing market to march forward as predicted. Part of the reason I upgraded now is because there’s a chance that prices and manufacturers shift so much that it makes building a PC prohibitively expensive. The powers that be are pushing for a compute by subscription model after all. And with the way consumer tech is progressing the older tech could still be “faster”. they might try to offload “power” into more ai gimmicks. The 50 and 90 series of RTX cards are a joke. The 4070super blows most of those cards away still.
The 2700x is obsolete RIGHT NOW IMO so just thoughts to consider
But hey maybe you just play Minecraft and balatro so it really doesn’t matter :p
