4700k to a 3900x will be a hilariously massive increase across the board. Absolutely everything will be significantly improved.

I went from a Celeron 400 to a Duron 800 and never looked back. All my builds have been AMD since then.

No regrets here went from intel for over 10 years to AMD for the last 2 upgrades. Especially with drop in upgrades without requiring a new chipset / motherboard.

That's a shame, you missed out on some great Inter processors over the years.

I know I did but 90% of the market did buy those great processors which caused Intel to get complacent. Not a good thing. The multi-core explosion should have happened 5 years earlier. The only winner was Intel, not the consumer.

From 4790K to 3950x, night and day difference, could not be happier!

Not much point upgrading from an ancient 14nm 4c8t to a slightly newer 14nm 4c8t though.
Not as much as you might think in a lot of games going from a higher clocked 4xxx i7 to a 3900X even with overclocking on the 3900. For other stuff like video encoding yeah the difference is LOL but over a spread of games IIRC it averages something like 18% difference stock v stock and 15% difference overclocked against a 4790K.

Exactly for gaming Intel is still king and for AMD workstation performance working the CPU 100% its night and day between them Intel is way behind AMD in architecture, value and efficiency from what benchmarks and reviews ive seen. Interesting reading the comments on the thread as Im looking at upgrading CPU/MB/GPU (And I also want more cores for work as working from home all the time now) at some point this year and I'm wondering whether to switch to AMD which I've never done before. I am mainly a gamer though so my worry is that I'll have to stay with Intel to have the best games performance but Intel pricing i think sucks compared to AMD and the overall the CPU package from AMD seems so much better at the moment.
Your cpu and gpu is smiliar to mine i dont think you need to upgrade anything bar the graphics card as you still have a very good cpu if all you care about is gaming and im not sure what your work is but do you plan on working and gaming at the same time?

Yeah probably true and I will upgrade my GPU first and see how performance goes for gaming which is still good with a 4c/8t cpu. No gaming and working at the same time although with two monitors I could try that out

I will say however if I was a hardcore gamer I would have gone for the Intel 10900K 100%! But as I game and use my computer for work the Ryzen came out on top.

5930k -> 3970x
cinebench r20 2349 -> 17490
That'll do
cinebench r20 2349 -> 17490
That'll do

That's more than a 7X increase, lol....

That's doesn't seem right, what's your score in Cinebench?
Best is 5001.
I left bios volts on auto and using ryzen master now with a profile set to 4.2ghz at 1.26v
Surprised how good the cooler is and not seen many reviews of it.
