I'm currently running an AMD 5500 and I've spotted a solid deal on an AMD 9600X that comes with free DDR5 memory. I'm debating whether I should jump on it now or hold off for a while. What's the consensus on upgrading to AM5?

My 9700X totally outperforms my old 5800X. Once you switch to AM5, you're likely not going back—it's a noticeable upgrade!
I don't think it's really worth it unless you're getting something with more cores. You could upgrade to a 5700X3D for a lower cost and still see good performance on your current setup.
Good point! I might consider that instead.
