Never really understood this way of thinking. Especially for a gaming rig.
I get it, latest and greatest GPU. Some buy and resell every release, which is every few years. Even at this rate, AM5 will be gone before your next GPU.
For those who only replace the GPU, and not the rest, which makes much more sense. The CPU will last you a couple GPU replacements, easily. In what world does an intel ultra bottleneck a GPU before AM5 is replaced?
I don't know, maybe I "just don't get it". I may even be biased.
Nothing was getting in my way when I paid $200 for a 265K. Thanks to everyone else crying dead platform lol. Hope it keeps up until my next upgrade.

Dead platform I'll consider around $200 or some crazy bundle deal

If this is for a strictly high end gaming computer, the 9800x3d smokes any Intel, especially with 5080 or higher where the GPU is not the bottleneck.
Not sure where to begin with this statement. Okay, so I'm assuming by high end gaming you you seem to mean using top teir hardware to run games at 1080P becuase that's the only scenario where the "GPU is not the bottleneck". For the rest of us, high end gaming is running at 1440P to 4K resolutions with quality settings turned up in which case there are only a few percentage FPS differences between any "high end" CPU's Intel or AMD.

$280 is cheaper than the $300 at Microcenter (of course, MC has bundles). Yeah, if you don't upgrade your CPU often, the "dead socket" line isn't too critical.

For the price, this is the chip.

I just bought this last week in a package deal from Newegg (came with some fans and a power supply, neither of which I need but I will sell). They offered me $230 trade-in for my 265k, which I dropped in the mail yesterday.

Loving the performance of this CPU so far. It's rocking the benchmarks, and for the multi-core work that I do (software dev, AI stuff) I can feel the difference.

Parts prices have gone down. Why are we not seeing significant price drops with the pre-buitts?!?!

Quote from NeatField3352 :
For real. At least on AM5, AMD allows to update cpus without also buying a new MB. Of course, AMD inflates their cpu prices so high that it would be cheaper to buy a new socket Intel CPU + MB than to upgrade the AM5 CPU 😂 Gotta love that AMD tax.. all in the name of "upgradability"
Or someone could just wait for Nova Lake if they're in no hurry to upgrade anytime soon. I already own 4x AMD CPUs at my house w/ only 2x in use. Haven't upgraded anything Intel related since the Haswell days, running a i7-5775C.

Because RAM and SSDs have skyrocketed. Someone mentioned GPUs as well, and for high end systems the prices for those have increased in price significantly.

Recent microcenter bundle break down was interesting. Still a rip off on the ram;
270K Plus $178
MSI z890 mag tomahawk $178
32gb (2x16) 6400 ddr5 crucial $294

Total $650. I added a second set of 32GB sticks. Surprisingly all 4 work at the rated speed and pass memtests.

This chip moved me back to intel after about a 15 year break. I actually just bought this a couple of weeks for $328. Time to get my 50 bucks back!
