AMD have supported AVX since Bulldozer. Teams doesnt require AVX2 only the older AVX. For Intel AVX started with Sandy Bridge (but only the i3/i5/i7/i9 , not pentium or celeron)
my last cpu was x3470 xeon a i7 version of 1st gen core. no avx1 on that or aes. still worked brill for web browsing games and work but lack of avx forced upgrade.

Yes they released the bios update this week that supports it.

Im looking at either this or a 5700 8 core myself (from a 5600x)

New AGESA 1207 is due for launch prior to this CPU coming out, so a lot of the figures being used/leaked could be off.
I think 5600x is more than good enough to tide you over till Zen 4 and beyond, unless you really feel the upgrade itch or are struggling with current use.
I've recently upgraded from an ancient 4790k but I would've definitely waited if I had something along the lines of a 5600x.
why do you need the extra cores.
With price cut of existing AMD models and releasing 3d version, AMD will at least keep existing user from migrating to Intel, and they have good base of AM4 users, and then with AM5 they will aim for new users.
Yep. I was planning to go 5900/5950 to prolong machine life... but this is a really interesting choice. Cheaper than the high productively chips, better gaming. Which way to jump??
Yes very interesting, I'm currently mulling over this or the 5900X. Have to see how the other reviews look.Yep. I was planning to go 5900/5950 to prolong machine life... but this is a really interesting choice. Cheaper than the high productively chips, better gaming. Which way to jump??
Depends on what you want to do, 5800x3d is also Zen 3 architecture and it is more than enough for many content creation workload, i personally work with photoshop so if i dind't buy 5900x i would buy 5800x3d, 8 cores are good for video editing too if you don't work for hollywood type budget. Combination of solid content creation workload performance, and extremelly good gaming performance is a win, 5900x only if you really need that extra cores, but many users don't, you can work professionally with 8 cores on pretty much anything, hell laptops had 8 cores max prior to ADL release, and it was used extensively for professional workload.Yep.

Mostly gaming and some VM work. But for the price difference, a little care with Azure/AWS would be cheaper...

Wasn't considering this originally but it looks better than I thought. The video editing software I use now has GPU encoding so I no longer need that many cores, I'm just after the gaming boost now.
