AMD had an upgrade path with the 5700x3d, assuming you’re on AM4.

Just reading now that they went out of production half a year ago which is a shame. I was very impressed being able to upgrade with the same motherboard 6 years down the line.

I'm the mythical customer who went from a 1700X in a B350 motherboard near launch day to a 5800X3D in the same board (after a dozen BIOS updates). Felt amazing. Like the old 486DX2 days.

Same! Kept checking back for bios updates and even years later they kept announcing more support! Truly crazy.

Other than the speed it’s a very good reason to go with amd, the upgrade scope is massive, on am5 you can go from a 6 core and soon all the way to a 24 core with the new zen6

Nearly same story here. AMD and MSI will forever hold a special place in my heart.
