Anyone recon LGA1700 will work with Meteor Lake or do you think they'll do the usual and only let 1-2 CPUs be compatible, in other words Alder Lake then Raptor Lake. Then require a new motherboard for the supposed big leap with Meteor Lake (Ocean Cove) ?
 
Probably best to see what brings a good uplift first then.

Had an order in for a 5600x but changed it to the 5800x now since I saw it at a more decent price. May as well since it'll just be an easy swap from my 3700x.

Still be interested to see what Alder Lake is like but I really doubt it's going to be enough to make me want to upgrade everything. I'll probably just wait and see what Meteor Lake is like at the time. Plus it gives a couple of years for more mature DDR5.
