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.

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 had an X370 mobo I got used really cheap to upgrade to something relevant to years ago, I ended up snagging a used 3900X when Ryzen 5000 dropped. I ran that until they updated the BIOS and 5000 series was viable on the same board. Went to 5950X. I had no problems until I upgraded to 6900XT GPU, had tons of gremlins that turned out to be due to the RAM stability/IMC not wanting to run CL16 timings (stock or XMP) with that GPU. Ordered 13900K and DDR4 mobo, migrated RAM and rebuilt PC. If I would have figured out the issue with the RAM sooner, I would have just kept the 5950X honestly. It was a beast. At least with the platform upgrade, I got more M.2 drives and a really solid board layout for my use. I don't regret going Intel but the AMD stuff was also awesome.
