almost upgraded to a 9700x from a ryzen 5 5600 but i can't justify ithappens with your technologies?
At least you have an alternative for when China besieges Taiwan. Keep storing them, they will be worth gold.
>>106432535>9700X>not 9800X3D
>>106432563China has been posturing towards Taiwan forever why would they telegraph what they're going to do? I think they're going for eastern Russia first
>>1064326279700X is faster and cheaper.
>>106432535Almost did the same OP. But here we are. Hopefully you're at least on a 5600x.
>>106432725>b-but muh giguhurtz
>>106432725>cheaperYou're going to pay more for faster memory to make the 9700X anywhere near viable compared to the 9800X3D.
>>106432758It's a non x, but it's a really good sample. But i keep it running real cool with a 60w TDP limit, it hits 4.5ghz in games still and around 3.9-4ghz all cores.
>>106432778Better to spend the $300 price difference on some nice food instead.
>>106432808or like 10 books and some albums from bandcamp or something
>>106432721>China has been posturing towards Taiwan forever why would they telegraph what they're going to do?I think there's an expectation that Xi would make his move in order to legitimize his legacy and at the same time calm some internal turmoil. Every now and then you have one of those mouthpieces for the MIC saying public that the Intelligence Community expects that to happen before 2030, which coincidentally is more or less around the time they expect to have some cutting edge lithography fabricated at home.Personally, I hope it doesn't happen or Taiwan wields immediately, or negotiates, idk, because this thing would be a fucking rapture in the world economy.
same, 5950x, nothing worth upgrading to. It's powerful enough for now.
>>106432758>>106432854i should just milk this for a while longer, even though that b650 asrock steel legend looks real sexy
>>106432535I don't think I'll be upgrading my 5600x for like 5 years
I don't need x3d cpus because they run hotter and i don't want to install a huge tower or bother with watercooling. Or overpay for noctua (which left my country after february 24, 2022)
>>106433271>(which left my country after february 24, 2022)Maybe GASPROM will make an alternative
>>1064328545900X waiting for AM6 2nd gen cpus so they iron out the 1st gen bullshit
