yep, and while am5 or am6 is my next upgrade depending on how long my 5800x3d lasts and how good the last am5 3d chip is compared to the first am6 one. am4 is just amzing for budget builders and upgraders atm.
Those sites aren’t to be taken as gospel, they are there to give you a general idea, but they are grossly overestimated. With that being said, there are bottlenecks in any system. Even the highest tier gaming computers in the world have bottlenecks. The real matter is determining how bad the bottleneck is and deciding what parts to upgrade. There is always something holding back the maximum potential of any system. This is why channels such as gamers nexus, when they test a GPU, they get the highest tier CPU in order to turn the GPU into the bottleneck (in order to see what it’s absolute maximum performance is with NO other bottlenecks holding it back).
The IP upgrade alone will feel so good, my wife moved from 3700x to 5600x and says thr performance gains in windows and in games like NMS and gw2 were obvious and that everything feels much better.
I moved my 5600x to the 5800x3d because I also got a 7900xt, gameplay has felt immensely better, I’m extremely satisfied
This is pretty amazing. My motherboard doesnt officially support the older cpus but everyone ive tried in it works. Currently running a 2700x in it. Will likely upgrade to this or the 5800x3d next year.
Being able to use this board for so many generations is awesome.
X370 when released, kept the mobo becauae no $$$ for cpu. Focused on work and forgot about it until 2700x came out. Used that… paired with my olde 1070 which i got from launch.
Then took the 3080 for gpu upgrade to drive 1440p UW. Found the 2700x struggling. Upgraded to 5800x3d this year as a birthday treat.
Now gonna change the mobo for a b550. The x370 is going to my wife rig with the 1070. Will be a home lab and clan server for games as well.
AM4… thank you AMD… Goat of goatses of all goat time platform. Respect!
I have a friend who has a MSI b450m bazooka that was in his prebuilt pc he got for Christmas in 2018. He still has it with his 5600x and he literally has some cut up version of the BIOS bc the mobo doesn’t have enough memory or smth? I’m not sure the exact details.
AM4 has been incredible, but I have fond memories of Socket 7. Supported everything from the OG Pentium all the way to 300MHz variants. And it worked with CPUs from Intel, IBM/Cyrix, AMD, and WinChip.
I still wouldn’t bet on it…there is a lot that goes into it. We need to see how it performs if its true. Honestly I don’t want to have a mobo for like 10 years, it might run a new CPU but the features will start to show its age by then. I will be happy with 2 gens a board with maybe a 3rd as a option if you still are happy with the board and want to get a little more out of it. At that point its time to move on.
which will be wonderful for budget upgraders/builders then just as this is now. i really hope it rings true. near top end performance for budget money is something intel cant touch
At this point AM4 will live on for longer than AM5 lmao

I still use an am4 x470 gaming plus MB. Serves me so well. Really is a good board.
Damn, is your flair still accurate?
I’m also still rocking a 1600 and an RX580. But I just ordered a 5600X to get my AM4-setup going for maybe 2 or 3 more years!
5600x is a very good processor, it will be a night and day difference for you.
AM4 is like an early 2000’s camry. It’s not flashy but it ages like fine wine.
Then comes the 5800X3D with its cache (And the rumoured 5700X3D). You can compare that to a riced out Camry or any Lexus
AM4 has to be the GOATed platform of all time at this point. I can’t believe the mileage I’ve got out of my shitty mobo haha.
I’m upgrading from a 2600 to the 5800x3d on my day off this Wednesday. Super pumped, can’t wait to see what the hype is about!
The website says it recommends liquid cooling for optimal performance.
Make sure you update your mobo bios!
Went from a 2700x to the 5800x3d myself, it’s a veeeeery nice jump.
and there are probably people who went from 1400x to 5800x3d out there too… amazing
looking to do the same myself as I bought a 7900xt
If you are playing WoW then go for the AM5 of the X3D versions. The 5800X3D is a bottleneck for that gpu. With maybe 14%.

bro really said a 5800x3d is a bottleneck to a 7900xt…
At 1080P, it can be.
It is. https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/result/1fN1cU/1/general-tasks/

1700x to 5800x3d here. Gosh dang, feeling those generational leaps in a rush make holding out on upgrades so long worth it.
Nice did it for 2600 to a 5600, definitely a bump in multi tasking.
Long live AM4.
That’s what the A and T stand for.
lol out loud
It will never RIP in peace.
smh my head
My face when I MFW a reddit comment.
I know what I said.
Someone in 2017: “I’ll get a b350 motherboard and a cheap Polaris GPU, by the time they’re obsolete I’ll have enough saved to upgrade.”
That same person in 2026: “Okay, time to try to build a $20,000 gaming PC…”
Not far from my path.
X370 when released, kept the mobo becauae no $$$ for cpu. Focused on work and forgot about it until 2700x came out. Used that… paired with my olde 1070 which i got from launch.

Except cheap Polaris was out of stock. Rest checks out. I’m nearly there.
I have a friend who has a MSI b450m bazooka that was in his prebuilt pc he got for Christmas in 2018. He still has it with his 5600x and he literally has some cut up version of the BIOS bc the mobo doesn’t have enough memory or smth? I’m not sure the exact details.
If it works it works haha

My 377,000 mileage 2001 Camry would still be going strong today if the dude who bought it didn’t total it drunk driving. Honestly such a good car
As an owner of a similar Camry, fuck that guy. Anyone mistreating a Camry has a special place in hell.
Well. 3DvCache is flashy enough.
Eh, not really, but this does suggest that AM5 will get support significantly into the life of AM6.
