Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.
CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

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?

I went from a 4670k -> 8500-> 5900X -> 5800X3D. Zen 3 has treated me pretty well aside from some bad RAM. However, if I was building now, I’d probably go Intel. 13700k is cheaper than the 7800X3D in most places. It gets close enough gaming performance while absolutely smoking it in productivity. Not to mention idle wattage is better on Intel, which is great for me since I spend more time working with my system.

Intel is my definitive choice for home servers thanks to quicksync, lower idle wattage, and higher core counts.
