My problem is that I'm building a new rig and trying really hard to not go all out and get a 5900X instead of a 3700X.
I keep my desktop for a long time, so it seems to be "okay" to do. For reference, upgrading from launch year 2500K. But still..
- Cu3PO42 6y agoAnecdotally I upgraded from an (overclocked) 2500K to a mere 3600 and am perfectly happy with the performance I'm getting, even running virtual machines or compiling large code bases. Would a 3700X have been even nicer? Probably, but when I bought my new CPU last year it was almost twice the price for two extra cores. So I do feel your temptation, but I don't think you would regret the 3700X.
- rbanffy 6y agoI have a different problem. I can't find a rational justification for getting one. My work is not significantly impacted by CPU speed and 32 gigabytes of RAM still feel sufficient. Oh well...
