Hey everyone! I'm really considering upgrading from AM4 to AM5, especially with some of the motherboard prices being reasonable at the moment. However, I've come across the 5700X3D at a pretty good price, which makes the decision to switch to AM5 even tougher. I'm also wondering if I should just hold off and wait for AM6. Are there any non-X3D AM5 processors that perform similarly in gaming to the 5700X3D? Thanks in advance!

If I were in your shoes, I'd grab the 5700X3D now and start saving for a dream AM6 build down the line, maybe in less than two years.
Getting the 5700X3D is wise. Just keep in mind some recent games need at least 8 cores, so don’t go below the R7 7700X if you're looking at AM5 alternatives.
The 7600X and 7500F are pretty close in performance to the 5700X3D, so it's a solid option if you're looking at AM5.
Yeah, I think given the current prices on the 5700X3D, going AM5 makes the most sense.
Are those really just as good? I’ve heard some games are starting to need 8-core CPUs.
If you can snag the 5700X3D for under $200, it’s a great buy. It performs similarly to the 7700 or 7600X from AM5, depending on the game.
Technically, the 7800X3D with 8 cores and 16 threads is similar to the 5700X3D, but it's pricier. You might find the 7600X3D closer in price, but it's still a bit more expensive and offers less core count.
Yeah, I agree! The 5700X3D really is the champion for budget builds right now.
Right? I found out that while 7600X3D might have better IPC, it also has fewer cores and costs more!
