All platforms are eventually dead. Meanwhile more Raptor Lake Refresh cpu's are due for release within the next few months.
of course they all die but what raptor lake refreshes are going to beat the 7800x3d or the 7950x3d then the 8000 series x then the 8000x3ds ??

if your building a new system with LGA1700 today with either the 13th gen or the pathetic 14th gen whats releasing on the LGA 1700 socket thats going to beat ZEN 5 ??

starting a argument with a platform that has no upgrade options now is never going to win show all the graphs you want !!

I'm pretty sure I didn't start an argument on here. I pointed out the fact that the X3D cpu's are not a good choice when productivity is involved. That's one of the minuses when you stack cache.
 
People have their preferences and opinions on here and that's fine. I prefer the AMD AM5 chips as I'm not convinced yet by the big little core thing that requires Windows 11 for its scheduler. Also, power draw less heat into my room in the summer is good.

I'm not so bothered about the dead platform thing as I don't tend to upgrade CPUs that often although I guess it is nice to have the option. It's one of those things if the next few CPUs on the platform only increase in performance by 10 to 15% then I doubt I would upgrade within the lifetime of the platform. If they release some new game-changing tech on the platform on the other hand well then it becomes a different story.

First thing I would do is go to the motherboard manufacturers website, and research the ram and make triple sure it's compatible. Motherboard manufacturers post lists of ram kits that they have personally tested and can verify will work in your motherboard. Failure to do this could lead to many tears when you find out the ram isn't compatible with your motherboard (not to mention hair pulling sessions trying to figure this out).

Good luck! 🤗

Be careful with that RAM, 6000 CL30 is the sweet spot, anything above that and it had better be AMD EXPO, even then it can be hit or miss....you could end up with a system that won't post.
