Question Switching to AMD. What would you do?

[DelvartheIron]

Hello there

After Intel's statement about faulty processors and after I found my 13700k processor cant handle overclocking anymore, I started thinking about switching to AMD.
I never used AMD processors before and I dont really understand their branding. After some research 7800x3d is the best processor for gaming and for a good price. It seems odd to me because in Intel you buy the most expensive CPU money can buy and you get the best performance with it. But in AMD the 3d architecture and larges caches makes the difference and I'm really amazed by 7800x3d's performance in benchmarks.

Now they are starting to roll out Zen 5 9000 series and I'm curious, 7800x3d with that price will be same with new 9000 series? What would you do?

Well probably wait for more benchmarks regarding Amd.

But, you can still salvage your Intel via warranty. An extra 2 years was added to boxed processors from 3yrs to 5. With bios update to address the issue + warranty replacement, good as gold.
