Why not the 1700 which was the best value and most popular part with 8c/16t? ;)

when i jumped onto am4 last year it was with a 2nd hand 1700 cpu for 60 quid and x470 mobo new for around 70 quid. now iv switched it to a 2nd hand 5600x in the same mobo. id say its very good value seeing as i was able to sell the 1700 cpu for same price i got it for. no point in going intel for me since it would mean the cost of a new mobo too.

6c/6t... All the AMD parts only differed in clock speed.

It was still a far superior chip though in gaming especially and anything that used SC there was also the cheaper 8700 and B360 but regardless whatever combo you pick the value at the end of the day wasn't much different and certainly not the huge advantage in price that some believe AM4 offered.
 
problem is those looking for value wont be spending £400 on a mobo. its all about what the mobo offers in the sub £100 price. many am4 x470 boards could be had cheapo and ones with bigger bios chips offered cpu support from zen1 to zen3. may even get vcache support too if lucky.

Probably not quite the deal as those who bought the chip new for £300 and a 300 series board which got blocked by AMD in supporting the 5000 series despite those early adopters being told they would get full AM4 CPU support.

Raptor Lake is more like polished, finished ADL a.k.a final version, ADL is beta test version of big/little architecture, so i don't expect huge IPC increase from RPL, only more of little cores, and unfortunately still only 8 big ones. Zen 4 will have more big cores plus better v-cache integration that further increase gaming performance atop of IPC increase that should be at minimum same as RPL.

Zen3 refresh is what you can expect in 2022. Zen4 will likely be Q4, or perhaps delayed to 2023.

Awesome, only took a couple of decades right...

No they just went backwards for a little while, for some odd reason they went from allowing two generations, e.g. Sandy/Ivy on Z68 and then Haswell (technically only 1 gen really), and as soon as they hit competition from AMD and brought forward desktop CPU's with higher cores/threads they moved to an unplanned one generation or two if you had a decent Z370.

nothing is unplanned. when the cpu generations hardly have any changes whats the need for a new mobo? lol

Z370 to Z390 was pin compatible, just the fact they were still on 14nm+++++ not 10nm meant the power requirements made most of the Z370 boards useless for the 9900K etc. This is the reason why Intel fell so far behind was due to the 10nm delay, and re-using 14nm over and over again, this is what I mean as well when I say unplanned, it was at best a fall back contingency plan, but not the one they hoped to be on.
