I really want a x3d because a game I play is heavily single threaded, I have the income and the financial stability but I can't in any good conscious upgrade to am5 with the ram prices. It's insane
- magicalhippo 7mo agoYep exactly the same situation. I would not be surprised if we see casualties in adjacent markets, such as motherboards, coolers and whatnot.
- fakwandi_priv 7mo agoAMD had an upgrade path with the 5700x3d, assuming you’re on AM4. Just reading now that they went out of production half a year ago which is a shame. I was very impressed being able to upgrade with the same motherboard 6 years down the line.
- timschmidt 7mo agoI'm the mythical customer who went from a 1700X in a B350 motherboard near launch day to a 5800X3D in the same board (after a dozen BIOS updates). Felt amazing. Like the old 486DX2 days.
- slightlygrilled 7mo agoSame! Kept checking back for bios updates and even years later they kept announcing more support! Truly crazy. Other than the speed it’s a very good reason to go with amd, the upgrade scope is massive, on am5 you can go from a 6 core and soon all the way to a 24 core with the new zen6
- ManuelKiessling 7mo agoNearly same story here. AMD and MSI will forever hold a special place in my heart.
- Panzer04 7mo agoWhat game, if you don't mind my asking?
- jofzar 7mo agoWorld of Warcraft

- tyjen 7mo agoI was waiting too, but the one game I play often that requires FPS performance decided to ruin their game with poor development direction. Now, I'm planning to buy for local llm hosting. Here's hoping to more developments like TurboQuant to improve LLM memory efficiency.
