He should consider how much improvement the new build offers versus the current 32MB cache setup. The upgrade path from PS5 to a modern PC involves significant changes, especially with the shift to DDR5 RAM and higher-end components. Regarding performance, the difference between the two cores isn’t huge for most tasks, but having more cores helps with multitasking and future-proofing. As for Intel vs. AMD, both can work well depending on your budget and preferences; neither is clearly superior overall.
You shouldn't focus on the 5800x, since 5900x is more affordable and performs better in production. For top gaming, go with the 5800x3D, but if you need video editing, the 5900x would be ideal. For his setup, he’d really prefer the i5 13600k.
I think the Ryzen 5700x is a decent value at $200 if you wanna be cheaper. 5800x might as well not exist, that is just a 5700x with a factory overclock. Ryzen 7000 is DOA, Intel is just better at every price bracket. Imo, it looks like a 13700k is the way to go right now if you can afford it, if not I guess a 5700x would be fine. The 5800x3d is awesome if you already have an AM4 board, but from scratch I feel like the 13700k is a better deal. I know there's a lot of hype around the 13600k.... but I'm not sure 6 P cores is enough long term.
