Incorrect, it will support 9000 series as well
Go check the motherboard manufacturer site of the model you have
It depends on your specific usage, but usually a modern 8-core CPU like the 7700 is more than sufficient for this task, so long as you have enough RAM.
I can manage it fine on substantially less powerful CPUs (i.e. less than half the speed) than the one you own.
For gaming you're very unlikely to notice much difference between the 7700, 14700K or arrow lake CPUs. They're really in the same ballpark of gaming performance and you're sidegrading rather than upgrading to a new generation.
The 14700K does have higher multithread performance in heavily multithreaded tasks (as do the top-end arrow lake CPUs), but we're talking very demanding things that use your full CPU power, not just Cyberpunk and a few Chrome tabs.
The 7800X3D/9800X3D models are different, since in some games the cache is a huge advantage (especially at lower resolutions), but to me you're still within the same kind of FPS range (they're the same architecture after all), so unless you play a game that LOVES the cache and you're desperate for a bit more FPS, then no, I would not make this change. It also would not help you much with multithreading performance.
Think your info is wrong, rev 1.3 latest bios says Update AMD AGESA 1.2.0.2a for next gen Ryzen X3D CPU performance optimized.
if read more about .... you will see its has a lots problems .... with temps, intability...etcDifferent reddit post someone on there says hes running a 9700x on a x ax rev 1.2 with a updated bios
We are aware of what the specs say, but as has already been explained, they are NOT meaningful in most cases.
There are many, many examples where motherboards support new CPUs and do not have an updated spec page, and/or do not have an updated CPU support table.
There are also some rare instances where the specs are meaningful, but this is very uncommon.
What is always meaningful, is the BIOS update page and actual user experiences.
product isn't sold anymore they haven't updated the CPU support list or product page it was done before the release of the 9000 series , this is where you and others are getting confused
But continue to support it with bios updates, it clearly stats rev 1.2 supports 9000 series in its bios page
Rev 1.2
Bios F32d
Checksum : CEDB
Update AMD AGESA 1.2.0.2a for next gen Ryzen X3D CPU performance optimized
Add X3D Turbo Mode support
If it isn't supported why have they released a bios for rev 1.2 that says it supports 9000 series?
What is AGESA 1.2.0.2a
AMD has released a new firmware update for the AM5 platform, aimed at its upcoming Ryzen 9000 CPUs armed with 3D-VCache technology. Harukaze5719 shared on X that AGESA ComboAM5 1.2.0.2a comes with performance optimizations for Ryzen 9000X3D chips.
But if do that decrease performance no ?It's supposed to, In cpu intensive tasks the CPU boosts clocks as much as possible and holds a steady temp of 90 degrees.
Depends on the use case though.
The boost temp can be altered in the bios, you can limit it down to 80 degrees or less if you wanted
