    Yes.
    I'm actually buying a full computer and gifting my 2700x to a relative. It still works perfectly well, but the relative needs a gaming computer and I want a 5900x.

    Re: QOTW: Are you upgrading to AMD Ryzen 5000 Series?

    Yes, and obviously it should be a huge upgrade from my current i5 2500k. I've even got the motherboard and RAM ready and waiting. Now I just need some to be in stock! Sold out by the time I'd opened any of my stock alert emails. Only going for a 5600x though, I don't think there's really much benefit to me in going for even more cores this time.

    I see they're already on eBay for a ridiculous mark-up...

    Not right now, but next year at some stage. Want an 8c16t cpu for current music pc (it struggles sometimes) which is currently a 2600.
    Possibly swap a 5000 series into work pc so that would mean the 2700X would then go into music pc
    Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!

    No.

    When I need 16 cores / 32 threads, more memory and bandwidth (DDR5?), faster storage (on NVMe drives and they're more than fast enough on PCIe 3.0!) I'll consider an upgrade for the base. A new GPU I'm open too though.

    Re: QOTW: Are you upgrading to AMD Ryzen 5000 Series?

    No. I shall be waiting for when AMD release their new socket. Until then my 9600k @5Ghz is more than enough for my uses.

    there probably isn't any point if you have a 3950x or 3900 and run a GPGPU benchmark in AIDA64 and find out the shear power of CUDA or openCL

    Re: QOTW: Are you upgrading to AMD Ryzen 5000 Series?

    If I do it wouldn't be any time soon, as I've only been on the 3950X for less than a year.

    And if I do it would obviously be the 5950X, so it would have to make sense in terms of what it would cost me and whether there was enough of a performance upgrade to whatever I'm running to justify that cost.

    I did pick the 3950X to try to future-proof things as much as possible after all.

    Yes/No

    I have a case and PSU ready. I'm waiting for intel to fight back and start a price war. Aiming for an 8-core/16 thread for £200 and I hope I'm not being too optimistic

    Re: QOTW: Are you upgrading to AMD Ryzen 5000 Series?

    Will stay with my 3700x for now, but as I have a x570 board I will keep an eye on prices and maybe get one towards the end of life if the socket/boards change for the 6***x range.

    Most likely no. Way too extensive. I'm still waiting for 2021 and am5 mobo. Most likely do a new build.

    No. I'm not a gamer and x99 that I'm on is more than adequate for what I do.

    Re: QOTW: Are you upgrading to AMD Ryzen 5000 Series?

    It was sold out everywhere on the same day it was released. And everywhere sais new ones arrive late december
    So i'm glad my motherboard doesn't have a bios upgrade for it. No temptation
    And i'm planning to jump on a X670 wagon with some pcie 5 instead, DDR5, maybe next year ?

    Re: QOTW: Are you upgrading to AMD Ryzen 5000 Series?

    No, just building a new PC and went for the 3600. Got it for £140 (if factor in a £45 rebate from MSI) and couldn't justify an extra £140 to get the 5600x.
