No, LGA1511 is still in use and not dead.

Hey everyone, The question is simple if I buy for instance a i7 9700k and a LGA1551 motherboard will it be a bad investment since LGA1200 was released? And if I get the 9700K how long would it last in terms of years? And lastly Ryzen 7 3700x or i7 9700k for only gaming at 2k resolution with a 2080 Super (i7 is a bit cheaper) Thanks.
AMD provides stronger raw performance per dollar, while Intel delivers better FPS without considering cost. Paying more for AMD won’t guarantee higher FPS than Intel’s offerings. The decision depends on your priorities—maximizing FPS is ideal for gamers, whereas budget-focused buyers might prefer Ryzen for its value in upgrading GPU tiers.
It seems most integrated ports have only lasted a few generations. I’m not too confident about AMD’s longevity either.
9th generation barely matched up with 2nd generation, but 3rd took everything... x-x
I already have a setup with an R5 3600 and a 2080 Super. With more funds now, I’m thinking about upgrading both the CPU and the motherboard. The motherboard is a Gigabyte B450M S2H, which is affordable, while the 3600 is only sufficient for the 2080 Super and isn’t future-proof. I’m evaluating my choices.
Intel continuously modifies their sockets to ease AMD's challenges with BIOS compatibility and chipset issues. For knowledgeable buyers, AMD's strategy stands out. Extended support leads to improved long-term performance and upgrade options. However, it creates significant confusion for the majority of users, resulting in numerous forum discussions about compatibility questions and BIOS flashing methods. It's a balance between benefits and complexity.
He likely intended that if you want to play at 240fps with a 2080Ti graphics card and intend to upgrade later to a 3080Ti, someone might favor the 10600K model.
Not aimed at gaming. Intel still holds an advantage in intel insights. However, in most scenarios, the performance gain isn’t enough to justify the cost AMD offers. It’s perfectly acceptable. Yet... a 10600k with 5.1 GHz would definitely boost FPS noticeably. Whether that matters depends on you, and whether it’s worth the investment is personal. But it does improve objectively.
Don't rush any decisions. A 3600 works fine as a CPU. Hold off until AMD releases the 4000 series and next-gen Intel drops too. This chip is solid; don’t spend now when you have a strong base processor. Just wait and observe what comes up in the next 1-1.5 years.
