Next system upgrade is Zen 4 & RDNA3 2021-22. I see no reason except if can find someone to sell the 3900X for at least the money of the 4800X.
 
Dunno, was considering a 3900x or waiting to the 4k series, that was before the bios shenanigans. Might still snag a 3900x at some point.

The fomo is strong but it will be hard to justify unless there is solid gaming performance gains at 1440p and 4K

Tuned 3900X is pretty solid tbh. Going from 3800C16 to 3800C14 the performance jumped almost 5% higher (from 3600C16 to 3800C14 is like a new CPU).

Have a look here what I am saying.

My rig is already there I've left little on the table. I'm using 32gb of 3600 cl14 wig manually tuned timings - in aida64 it shows bandwidth of 58GB/s and 63ns latency. From the benchmarks I've seen my ram should be right at the top for zen 2 performance benefits. I have seen gkill are selling 3800 cl14 kits now and that might be even a little better with manually tuned timings.
 
I was planning to get the 4900x but due to AMD no longer supporting the board will either get a 10700k as I would need a new board anyway and since I mostly game or wait till AM5.
 
I'm not sure, if the next gen provides a decent uplift then possibly, i too have a couple of sets of 3600mhz cl14 ddr4 (samsung b-die) on the way so if i gain anymore performance with my 3900x i may stick, need to find out what next gen offers before doing anything, but having a x570 mobo does help if i decide to drop in a 4th gen :)

So to understand. You plan to buy an LGA1200 motherboard knowing full well that LGA1700 motherboard will be out next year, instead of waiting few months to see what would happen with your current motherboard?

Words hypocrisy, fan something, even shilling come to mind. Logic not :P

it'd be incredibly foolish to move platforms if your already on ryzen, why don't you pick up a cheapish b550 on release and use your chip until next gen drop, you'd rather give up power efficiency from ryzen to go all out with a nuclear reactor thats going to need some serious cooling from Intel? :p if you feel Intel is the best move, best of luck, rather you than me :)

So you're going to sacrifice gaming performance by getting a slower Intel CPU just to get your revenge on AMD. Makes sense.
