I'm so annoyed I let some friends that I thought were a little more knowledgeable talk me out of going AM5 a few weeks ago. Went from 3900X to 5800X3D in an unplanned upgrade because of bottlenecking with a 4090. Everybody told me don't go AM5 yet, it's not ready, and this first round isn't a big enough jump to justify the new board and RAM.

Now I sit here with an awesome machine that could have been awesomer for about €200 more and I'm really considering swapping up using the proceeds from selling off the 3900X/2080ti.
