My first ever desktop chip from AMD. I’ve been building PCs ever since my 13th birthday. Never bought a prebuilt (unless you count a MacBook, but I don’t).
Building computers is possibly my longest running hobby. And long may it continue. But throughout that entire journey I’ve always, always gone Intel.
But the state of the latest generation - power hungry and hot - coupled to how they handled the 13th gen recalls. For a desktop system (I.e one that doesn’t need quicksync), AM5 is the way to go.
Hopefully a 5+ year lifespan for the socket as we have seen with AM4. And absolutely chart topping performance for a fraction of the power Intel uses? What’s not to like?
I built a system around the 7800x3d (no 9800x3d stock) and an x870e proart motherboard from Asus with built in 10g saving me a pcie slot.
