    And meanwhile, I’m wondering how I can upgrade an AM4 motherboard CPU so that it can keep up with my Radeon RX 9070 XT… Apparently the X3D chips are no longer made, maybe I ought to look for a second hand one (using a Ryzen 9 3900X now which is good, but which seems to have trouble keeping up in games which are a decent part of my usage). Although the used market prices are fucking insane (500 € +).

    There were rumors of a new series of AM4 chips, but nothing came of it (as suspected).

      I haven’t run into a real bottleneck yet with my 5600, but I’m also running 1440p. What are you playing that you’ve felt CPU constrained?
