Hey everyone! I'm currently using a Ryzen 7 7700 and I'm wondering if upgrading to the Ryzen 7 9700X would be a worthwhile investment. Alternatively, should I just hold off and wait for one of the upcoming x3d CPUs? Looking forward to your thoughts! Thanks!

What are you hoping to achieve with the upgrade?
Unless you really have extra cash lying around, I wouldn't rush into it. Better to wait and see what's coming next!
Honestly, I don't think upgrading to the 9700X is worth it. If you're looking for a significant boost, you might want to wait for the Zen 6 x3d series or the AM6 platform instead.
I've heard that the Ryzen 7 7800x3d can provide about a 20% increase in fps. Plus, the 9700X seems to be pretty close performance-wise.
