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?

It’s superior at 1080p in SOME games, how long will you stay on 1080p? Frametimes are often better on the 13th or 14th Intel gen but sometimes Amd is ahead. For things like emulation you can always count on Intel being ahead. I’d say it’s a no brainer to buy Intel if you don’t mind undervolting/powerlimiting to reduce heat.
