I am “fortunate” that I will not save sufficient cash for a brand new construct till March.

My hope is that by then the costs can have dropped a bit extra on AMD’s aspect, as a result of I am going for an AMD construct anyway.

Earlier than the Ryzen period I informed myself….I am going to get AMD as a result of it is ok for what I wish to do with my PC within the coming years and it is quite a bit cheaper than the Intel counterpart.
Occasions have modified, however I nonetheless persist with AMD, not due to the speedy value anymore, however the value in “the long term”, as a result of despite the fact that AMD AM5 is now a costlier improve, if it is going to observe the identical path as AM4, by the point AMD switches to AM6, you’ll have already got had 2 or 3 intel sockets.
