I’m wanting to upgrade this month as I’ve previously posted. I’m going from a 9700k.
Initially I was looking at the 14700k but now I’m considering the AM5 platform.
It’s cheaper, the socket will have a longer lifespan and the 7800X3D is superior in games.
What are people’s thoughts?
I think a tuned 14700k with the e-cores disabled so you can clock the ring bus way higher, as well as tuned memory at 7200-7800 with tightened timings, might beat the 7800x3D even when you tune that. I’m just speculating, but I’d like to see YouTuber try with a dozen different games. I heard disabling e-cores often does nothing, but I think the ring clock OC might compensate for a lot, from what I’ve seen so far.
But that’s a lot of work for something that still will use a lot more power.
