Hold you off from what ? What is the 3600 not doing that you need it to do ? It's a borderline 200 dollar CPU with good speeds, good IPC, and good thread count. Don't upgrade for the sole purpose of "Uhh i think i might need it but am not sure"I might get a 5600x to hold me off
Outdatted is an over-exagerrated term (especially for CPU). The amount of people that keep there CPU for 5+ years is extremely high, especially if they don't have a super picky/specific need for it.Also I’m kinda scared of paying 550 for a cpu and it become irrelevant because the chipset will be outdated
yes it has god speeds but from what I understand not good enough for a 3080Hold you off from what ? What is the 3600 not doing that you need it to do ?

the thing is the 3600 will bottleneck a 3080 so yes its not gonna be enough
i'd wait for AM5 since AM4 is now EOL and has no upgrade path.
and?What's your monitor resolution and refresh rate ?
That's quite poor advice, people keep CPUs for many years and the 5900X is pretty much going to be one of the highest end CPU on this platform. In other words suggesting to wait for AM5 is crazy as this will be plenty fast for many years to come.
Where are you reading this ? Almost all of the 5900X reviews use either a heavily overclocked 2080ti or stock 3080 and its giving on average 8% increase over the 3600 at 1080p and only 4% increase at 1440p.the thing is the 3600 will bottleneck a 3080 so yes its not gonna be enough
yes it has god speeds but from what I understand not good enough for a 3080

At least, they could easily do a Zen3+ on the better 7nm node the GPUs are on considering the 5xxx are still on the same 7nm node as Zen2He will he waiting for about 1 year.

and?
if you're waiting for AM5 you probably can upgrade your CPU for like 3+ Generations and can get like 8 years out of it plus you have MUCH better performance, efficiency, DDR5 etc. (if you keep your chip 3-4 years each)
i'd wait for AM5 since AM4 is now EOL and has no upgrade path.

That makes no sense what makes sense is yea I would be waiting a year but I’ll be invensting in a platform where I will have a future upgrade path then invest in a platform that will no longer be used next year and I won’t have any upgrade pathWait for the Ryzen 6000 serie, when the 6000 is here you can better wait for the 7000 serie, but when the 7000 serie is here you can wait for the 8000 serie......
Just buy now and don’t wait, waiting for new releases is not very smart.

Hi Panda, If your actual set-up is what you have in your signature what you have to do is only taking the RTX 3080 now and enjoy it until you take a decision. That will allow you to see if you have a bottleneck or not, and honestly I would say not. That will confort you to wait the arrival of the AM5 as if I understood well you don't want to upgrade but changing completely your set-up. As the graphic card doesn't depend on your mobo/procs/memory do just this step as an advance, that's reasonnable and worth the money as you'll use it in both set-up. Never forget that having the last 5% of performance could cost you from 2 to 5 time what you've spent for the first 95%.That makes no sense what makes sense is yea I would be waiting a year but I’ll be invensting in a platform where I will have a future upgrade path then invest in a platform that will no longer be used next year and I won’t have any upgrade path
But from what I understand the 3600 should be fine till I do upgrade
Am I wrong ?
hello anyone here lol
