AMD quietly launches a budget gaming beast — AM4 is alive and kicking with the Ryzen 5 5500X3D, but it has limited availability (www.tomshardware.com)

If you could happen to fall into a 5800x or a 5800x3d for a decent price (getting harder to find I'm sure), I'd skip the upgrades and AM5. It doesn't look like it's going to go the distance like AM4 did, there's already AM6 talk going on for 2027. There's very little real world actual advantage to AM5 vs 4, it's just largely more anti-consumer behaviour and marketing from PC chipmakers.
