CPU is solid, but I won’t tolerate readability issues. If I stick to DDR4, the options are limited. The 12400f feels like a step back.
For sticking with DDR4, AM4 and LGA1700 are the main choices. The i7 9700K remains a solid gaming chip, but upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D or an i5 13600K would be worthwhile if your graphics card supports it. Are you mainly focused on gaming or do you handle more demanding tasks?
Primarily focused on gaming. I’m using an RX 6700xt and haven’t thought about upgrading right now. Plus, DDR5 is still quite costly these days.
Yes, there is a notable distinction. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D includes an additional 3D V-Cache compared to the standard 5800X, enhancing performance in demanding tasks.
