Question Ryzen 4000 compatible with X570

[bkhschoo]

Hi all i want to upgrade my good old intel 5930k pc to an AMD 3700X with X570 Motherboard. My question now is will it be a bit future proof at the moment, meaning i can plug in a Ryzen 4000 series when it arrives? I just want one more upgrade path with this AM4 X570 motherboard i want to buy otherwise if i cannot i will stick with intel and buy a 9900k with Z390.So my question is simple will the Ryzen 4000 (or Zen3 or what is it called?) be compatible with AM4/X570. I think and hope Ryzen 4000 will be the last AM4 CPU and the 5000 series will require a new socket and will be DD5 and so on. Anyone know if this will be the case?

Given how AMD has stated AM4 is good till 2020, and they have been releasing a new generation, every year, I would say the probability is high, that 4000 series chips will be a drop in upgrade, after a bios update.

It would hard to fathom one feeling they needed upgrading in just a year's time if purchasing a 3700X...

We don't upgrade merely because something else that is faster is out....do we? (your 5930K lasted you sefveral years, where you resisted X299 and 6900, 7900, etc, right?)

I'd imagine the next upgrade would need to bring 20% increases to the table to be noteworthy, be it a combination of IPC tweaks/gains, clock speed gains, increased RAM clocks and/or DDR5, etc...

I agree, I have a 2700x and will wait happily until the 4000 with DDR5 comes out as to spend money on 10% gain for web browsing and a bit of gaming is silly. When it gets up to 20-30% gain then it will be worth it.
