~6% performance increase over the 9800X3D.

Gotta do a few compatibility and retail pricing checks to see if its financially justified to move on from my 14900K.

If someone wasn't moved by the 9800, I don't know why one would be moved by this. But whatever brings folks joy.

Personally, enough time has passed on since AM5's release that the quirks have been ironed out. Another AM5 series launch is expected resulting in a potential future upgrade path if necessary. In a live service game i play where my 14900K is starting to bottleneck my 5080.

For quite awhile now my CPU's(and to a similar extent GPU's) are typically replaced before their three year use cycle.
