The 5700X3D’s main selling point is gaming performance on an old motherboard, and you pay a hefty premium for that. Value-based pricing…
And Ryzen 9000 is a big performance jump. Even a Ryzen 5 9600X is a good 30% better than the Ryzen 7 5700X3D on average at productivity benchmarks, while gaming performance is very similar between the two.
But an AM5 MoBo is €150, DDR5 RAM is twice as expensive as DDR4, and you’ll need a new PSU to power the new MoBo with a new ATX standard.
@Rapier I am still interested to hear which applications you regularly use that could use the raw multicore performance btw
