What are you most excited for?

[Space Lynx]

Still think I'm going next gen.


That's not going to happen. Intel has already stated that 13th gen will use only DDR5. Expect to buy RAM and a new board with that CPU.

I am going next gen. Might as well at this point. Especially considering I have no build at the moment, might as well get a fresh mobo with longevity.

No, it's called reading. I did some. So unless they've changed something...

I did some reading too...

All 13th Gen Intel CPUs should also support DDR4 3200 memory. Just as with the 12th Gen CPUs

Intel's 13th Gen Raptor Lake Lineup Leaks

Ok, so they did change that. Previously 13th gen was supposed to be DDR5 only, just like Zen4.

 

[SSGBryan]

I am excited about all of it.

I am not going to buy any of it; I'll let the other folks be beta testers for it. I am excited because what is current today will be in black Friday sales in Nov.

I expect to get a Ryzen 7 5700 for what I paid for a Ryzen 7 2700 ($140), an X570 board for less than $200, and a 2nd RTX 3060 for about $350. Two RTX 30 series cards will cut my render times by around 33%.

I am excited about intel Core i5-13400F and RTX 4060 Ti.

So pricing for AMD's new CPU's and Mobo's have finally become available here in Gougelandastan (NZ) and here is what they cost new vs old

7950X $1399 vs 5950X $1399 (same price)
7900X $1099 vs 5900X $999 (100 bucks more)
7700X $799 vs 5800X $799 (same price but I believe the 5800X price has increased as this is not what I paid for mine $676.00)
7600X $599 vs 5600X $549 (50 bucks more)
As you can see 2 of the 4 are the same price as previous CPU's and 2 have price rises from 50~100 bucks

A comparable X670e mobo to what I have Asus ROG Strix X670-E Gaming wifi $1199 vs ROG Strix X570-F Gaming $449 (2.6x the cost for AM5)

Corsair Vengence DDR5 6200MT 32GB (2x16GB) $599 vs GSkill DDR4 4000MT 16GB (2x8GB) $249 (2.4x the cost for DDR5)

so looks like I'll be looking at quite to price hike to upgrade Mobo and Ram but not the CPU

That R7 7700X + 360 AIO looks like a good deal considering the temps these run at (95c)

Yeah, but I ain't one for H20 cooling.
From the same place I listed, the Z790 boards are cheaper by over $130! (but eta not until late 21 Oct)
The i5-13700kf is about $15 more than R5 7600X, so overall the Intel platform is cheaper to get into, even more so if recycling DDR4 ram from older build.

I thought Z790 was going to be DDR5 only and only the Z690' supported both DDR4 & 5

From the same site I listed above, DDR4 & DDR5 capable Z790 boards are available but not before 21 Oct.
But personally, if I was going to go down the 1700 socket platform route, I'd get Z790 DDR5 capable boards only cause' I already have a 32GB set of DDR5 ready to go.
