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 have a 9900ks but for my current main gaming PC got a 5800x3d.

    Whatever gives you the most for your money and fits your requirements.

    I would lean to AMD just for the upgrade path if both options are around the same price/performance.

    I went 9900k->13700k(returned)->7950x3d because the amd was eating it for dinner in the games I play in my comparisons.

    I jumped to 14700k from 9700k. For gaming/productivity but also like Joeh mentioned, im more familiar w overclocking w Intel.

    One thing to consider - socket lifespan. From your post you upgrade every 5 years or so?

    In 5 years both sockets will be different. It’s likely we will be on DDR6, and there may be other changes that mean the motherboard you buy today is not completely obsolete. So you will change again.

    My advice is buy what suits you today - if that’s a 14700k great (would be my biased pic). If it’s the 7800x3d equally as great.

    Then enjoy. :)

    I will be building a new gaming system in December and going AM5 7800X3D this time after 10+ years of being Intel user. The 7800X3D ticks all the right boxes while I don’t see Intel competing with its cost efficiency, lower temps, power consumption etc. The 7800X3D is just too superior imo.

    I did. I went from a q6600 based rig to an r5 3600 based am4 rig in 2019.

    Then I upgraded the cpu to an r7 5700x in the spring of 2023. On the same motherboard…

    Well I’m currently on am4 but I’d recommend going with whatever best fits both your use case and budget at the time of building for your region. If that’s an AMD CPU then go for it, if it’s an Intel CPU then go for it. They both work just fine.

    My 7800x3d performs beautifully for cyberpunk path traced and my simulation games run perfectly fine also. No probs with any other games either with curve optimizer set and temps are always below 60 at max load personally with an AK620 cooler.

    I made the witch from an older intel HEDT Xeon 1660v2, decided to give AMD a shot and haven’t been disappointed.Awesome performance and like to socket longevity they strive for.
