With how good my 5600x still performs, I could very well see it lasting that long. Assuming it doesn't randomly kill itself after a few years like my previous ryzen 5.
I was silly and got myself a 5950X. But I feel less silly about it now tbh. It’s gonna become my new homelab core whenever I get the chance to do a new gaming build again that’s not a high 4-figure investment.
Totally worth it with how good ryzens have held up performance wise. Unless you're doing some really CPU heavy stuff or have a beast of a GPU, you probably won't get bottlenecked by the CPU for at least 5 more years.
Unless you're using windows in your homelab. I assume you're not since you have a home lab.
