Will you be upgrading? Those seems like some nicely competitive prices. Seems like my Ryzen 5800x is finally starting to see its age, although it still runs everything nicely, those above sure do look tempting.

I might be upgrading to a 9700x from my trusty 3700x, but I'm in no particular hurry.

5600X still doing an amazing job. I'm pretty sure it will last me until AMD's next socket change then I'll buy a cheap first or second generation CPU and upgrade to the last generation the socket supports again.

Same for me.

My system is almost 6 years old, so it's about time for an upgrade. But not before the next GPU generation.

I am currently running a 5950x so dont need an upgrade but I am considering an upgrade to a 9950x. I will wait for reviews first and I might also wait and see if AMD announce a 9950 X3D SKU.

Already looked at some reviews and Zen5 doesn't look good so far.
People might aswell just buy a Zen4 CPU instead.

I'm still running a 1700 and never bothered upgrading because I never really ran into significant gaming bottlenecks from the CPU. I'm probably going to wait for the fancy 3D cache version. I've read those chips are significant upgrades for gaming.

I might upgrade and then try to sell current CPU. That would recover some of the costs. Though I'd also wait until X3D versions will appear. If they'll have one with extra cache for all cores that would be something new to consider.

I think we have pretty much the same system Liam, ha! 5800x w/ 6800xt.
Normally I build a new machine every 4 / 5 years, so that time is basically now, but I'm going to wait at LEAST for the next gpu cycle (what is that, mid year next year we think for next radeon generation?)and these cpus are very underwhelming, so very easy to pass on.
Also I wanted to link to the phoronix article on these, a lot of great info there in case you're wondering!

For myself (and Liam and I'm sure others), this is a good page:
https://www.phoronix.com/review/ryzen-9600x-9700x/16
which lists our processors scoring a 55, and the new 9700x scoring a 90. I know benchmark scores don't mean a ton in real life settings, but still that's a big jump.
