I am sure many will,but at current pricing unlikely in my case. I might hold out and see what happens next year,but I am pessimistic about it.
I am not upgrading right now from my 3700X but will in about 2 years with a used Zen 3 CPU. Right now I'm happy with its performance and don't need more for gaming @ 1440p. I bought it 10 months ago, hoping Zen 3 would be great (which it is) and hoping for a great upgrade 2-3 years down the line, getting a used Zen 3 CPU. Looks like everything is lining up and I am grateful for the continued support of the AM4 socket.
Even with all the noise on price, they're sold out everywhere so the question's a nonstarter.
They look pretty juicy but I'm happy to wait until the new year, see where the price/performance on these and Rocket Lake is at that point.
Highly unlikely, I am likely to wait for socket AM5, go for a new motherboard and CPU then and leave the way open for a further CPU upgrade, on the same motherboard, a few years later. Added to which, there's nothing wrong with my R7 2700.
Yes, although i may have to wait for better pricing. I'll pass on my i7 6700K/mobo to my sons rig, to replace the i5 2500K that is still going very strong even in recent games.
I'll grab one hopefully cheap in a year or maybe two to upgrade my 2600. Long live AM4.
I like the improvements they have made, but the cost increase for particularly the 5600X is too much compared to the performance increase and the 12/16 core CPUs aren't really in my budget as a consumer. Plus I got a 3600 last year and I don't see the point in upgrading next generation for anything. I'm also more interested in am5.
I built my system with some future-proofing in mind... e.g. X570 motherboard - so may get tempted. Depends on work situation, less keen on spending out on big-ticket PC components since the pandemic has taken hold.
And my current 3900X isn't exactly a slouch - so it's a tough sell at this exact moment :-|
If it boosted my FPS drastically at 1440p I would.
NO.
When i upgrade again it might be to AMD 6 or 7000 series, for now i am covered, and a Danish pension do not make it possible to upgrade just like you feel like it.
nope,
Last upgrade took me 5-10 years to get round to.
Yup! Grabbed a 5900X yesterday at 14:06... Didn't ship though, in a pre-order queue ETA 20/11 :(
yes - My ivylake rig with 1070gtx and ddr3 going to youngest and new 5950x + 6900xt on order.
OFC new stuff round the corner but PCIe4, DDR4 and my first all AMD system for many many years will be a hell of a step up from where I am today.
Not at the moment.
yes, upgrading from my overclocked i7 920, it would be nice to wait for DDR 5 and Zen 4 on 5nm, but the 4 cores are starting to struggle in some games now...
Although I might get a 3600 to start with and get the CPU later, as I have my eye on the 6800XT as well.
