At least unlike the 90s, our PC hardware doesn't become irrelevant in 2 years. I'm only now starting to see problems using a Ryzen 3600, but I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, and it's only in specific scenarios. Waiting for the 7950X3D's benchmark before I upgrade and stick with a platform for a few years, but if the 14th gen Intel chips are the power efficiency powerhouse rumours say, I might just skip AMD altogether.

Why not the ryzen 5800x3d for a lot less initial investment by staying with AM4?

8 physical cores isn't enough, I need at least 12.

Exactly what I did . Went from a 3600x to 5800x3d and it’s amazing!

I'm on an old Broadwell machine and was thinking the same. Then MicroCenter kept emailing me about that $600 7900x bundle and wore me down. Can't beat that price really.
