I recently upgraded to an ASUS x870e motherboard because I wanted to move from my 12900k to the AM5 platform. I'm considering getting the 9800x3d, but I've heard rumors about the 9800x3d2 being released in 2026. Is it better to wait for the new CPU, or should I just stick with the 9800x3d?

Honestly, I think you should just grab the 9800x3d now and enjoy it for a while instead of waiting for the 9800x3d2. The rumors are just that—rumors! Plus, the performance gains from the next CPU might not be worth the wait.
I hear you, waiting is frustrating! I went from an older chip to a newer one and it’s been great, even though it wasn't the latest model. Sometimes you just gotta enjoy the ride!
