AMD had an upgrade path with the 5700x3d, assuming you’re on AM4.
Just reading now that they went out of production half a year ago which is a shame. I was very impressed being able to upgrade with the same motherboard 6 years down the line.
- timschmidt 6mo agoI'm the mythical customer who went from a 1700X in a B350 motherboard near launch day to a 5800X3D in the same board (after a dozen BIOS updates). Felt amazing. Like the old 486DX2 days.
- slightlygrilled 6mo agoSame! Kept checking back for bios updates and even years later they kept announcing more support! Truly crazy. Other than the speed it’s a very good reason to go with amd, the upgrade scope is massive, on am5 you can go from a 6 core and soon all the way to a 24 core with the new zen6
