I’m wanting to upgrade this month as I’ve previously posted. I’m going from a 9700k.

Initially I was looking at the 14700k but now I’m considering the AM5 platform.

It’s cheaper, the socket will have a longer lifespan and the 7800X3D is superior in games.

What are people’s thoughts?

As a 13900K user the APO situation feels like a betrayal.

AM5 should have platform support for 2-3 more CPU generations if that would be helpful to you. There is also no need for a contact frame to maximise cooling efficiency.
