Thanks for the info. So if I wait a few months for stock to replenish it sounds like the 9000 series X3D may be a good option for a future-proof gaming PC

yea, or if you're in hurry, get something older gen with AM5 socket, and swap to 9800X3D once it's available.

You might even be able to pick up a used 7000 X3D from someone else that's upgrading to the 9000 X3D series. They're still very capable chips.
