Ryzen 7 5700X3D in 2026?

Running a Ryzen 7 5700X3D on a B550 motherboard with 32GB DDR4.

I'm guessing that unless I pair it with a very high end (and very expensive!) GPU, even in many of the most recent games I'm unlikely to be CPU limited?

In this case would it be a reasonable plan to skip upgrading to AM5 - especially with current RAM prices - and wait for AM6 (or whatever comes next)?

Thanks in advance for replies.

I run an SFF build in the living room with a 5700X3D and low profile 4060 on a 4k OLED and I've been very happy with it.

Sometimes it's nice to just forget about all the benchmarks, FPS counters, and settings tweaks and just play.

Admittedly I've been mostly playing Diablo 2 Resurrected which isn't hugely taxing, but it's done everything I've needed and performance never really crossed my mind.

Sounds awesome, I'm tempted by a sff build (ncase M3). What case do you have?
 
Honestly you’ll be fine even with a 5090 imo at 4k… yes a 9800x3d will ooze out more fps but arguably the 5700x3d will feed enough data to the highest end cards of today
 
If amd am4 x3d cpus are too expensive or difficult to get hold of is there an intel equivalent where we can reuse our ddr4 ram?

Depends what CPU you have at the moment (and what GPU you'd be pairing it with), by the time you add a motherboard into the the cost (and assuming you can find a good motherboard that fully supports the CPU features), then I don't think it'd be particularly worth it.

5600x3D review (assuming the 5500 will be be slightly slower than this)
 
Aah lovely, i wanted to upgrade my am4, hoping its not too slow. If any reciews come out please do share, and price point.
5500X3D is only slightly slower than the 5700X3D (4.0 GHz rather than 4.1GHz) but has 2 fewer cores. Not sure how this will affect performance.
 
I found a review by gamer nexus. It doesnt seem so good so I think will give the 5500x3d a miss.
