You can just upgrade later again if it feels justified. If not, 3000 prices will go down and it's a win win.Will be looking to get 570x mobo.If I were in your position I would wait it out since it's probably not that far off (I think around October), but maybe you need the upgrade now for the games you want to play.
Also, you'll need to wait after release for availability, that also means a price premium. We may see something new like 45W parts though. 4000 is next then you'll have the 5nm 5000 gen.Get the CPU you need, when you need it. Probably gonna wait. We're both happy consumers. Now my question is should I wait for the zen 3 4000? 6] Hard no The performance gains are allegedly bigger than Zen 1-> Zen2. In the meantime, I upgraded my 2133MHz RAM kit to a 3600MHz one just so that I don't have a ton of stuff to resell when the time comes.You guys are right about there will always be something better but if something better is only 4-5 months away then I rather wait for it. b550 will provide PCIe 4.0 as well for graphics. In 2019, it did so once again with Zen 2-powered Ryzen 3000 processors and already we’re looking to what comes next: Zen 3. Try and get something you think will last you at least 3-5 years.The performance gains are allegedly bigger than Zen 1-> Zen2.Zen1 to Zen 2 is +18%IPC, Zen+ to Zen 2 is +15%IPC, the "reported Zen 3 gains" are +10-15% IPC compared to Zen 2.Ahh nice. Its more or less, I want him to have something nice and its a fun project to do together.I recently bought my dad a Tuf X570 and am gifting him my 3600 as soon as I buy a new CPU.As much as I want the 3900x and do belive the price will further drop when the 4000 series comes out, I would be interested in waiting and seeing what 12 core the 4000 series has to offer and at what price point and if it would be worth it. Plus I like to have other programs open while I am gaming. You can honestly go with an x570 and a 1st or 2nd gen Ryzen for cheap and then jump on the Zen 3 train when it comes out.Imo x570 is lame, it is expensive and requires a chipset fan. If I’m going to upgrade, I really want the ‘upgrade’ experience.Imo the frequency improvements from Zen 2's 7nm to Zen 3's 7nm EUV will not be too crazy, power efficiency will definitely improve tho.I'm on an i5-6500 waiting for B550/4700x.My last built is 5 years now so I am looking to upgrade this year. Zen 3 will be (I think) at least 15+% IPC gains. Changing needs, gaming productivity, ear decompression is slow on 4790k, still a good chip, I'm going to get 4900x in October the single thread performance will be amazing for me,and 8 more cores with 24 more threads especially in xplane 11 vrSeriously though, it's the mobo that's more important. If you are open to keeping an upgrade path then the X570 and 32GB of DDR4 will be compatible with Zen 3. If current frequencies stand, yes. Zen 3 Should be a Tock. If 4000 is amazing and worth it. You could wait for the cool new stuff that's on the way, but there are always going to be better parts on the horizon. The new node plays by all the same rules as that which it used to manufacture AMD's Zen 2 processors, which should make for a simple swap to the enhanced 7nm node with Zen 3, …
Buying now 3000 series and then upgrading 4000 series (probably last to support AM4) makes very little sense.I would wait. Zen3 will be more expensive than a 3900X for sure, not to mention prices will continue to drop for Zen2. 3] I think we'll see higher frequencies before Zen 3. The power is beautiful. Same. Go for it. My brother jumped from a i7 2600k and GTX 970 to a Ryzen 3600 and XFX 5700 XT Thicc III and is happy with his new build.I don't think the wait is gonna hurt because the next gen I'm rumored to have 10% IPC increase and might get released in October (Can be Subjected to Change because of Current Situation)Either way. x570 has no benefits except if you need PCIe expansion cards, and very few people need that.Been on blue team for almost 10 years now ever since AMD released their zen chips I’ve been dying to try it out.I'm on a Core i7-6700 but I'm planning to wait. There was a rumored 5GHz Zen 2 early next year. So, you could go with a Ryzen 3600X for … Several AMD executive has stated that they’re bringing a new architecture with a 7nm EUV on the market for Ryzen 4th gen. (It probably will not. Like others have said, there's always something around the corner.
