most people looking at this have an am4 board right now
Kinda hard to compare a $250 upgrade to a $700 upgrade bud
Sinking more money into AM4? Again. How can you compare 250$ to a 700$ upgrade? Changing to AM5 is gonna be 3x the price of this. And for similar performance for a 7700x too

I have a 3700x from about 2018.. i don't see much in the way of life changing improvement over clearing a slight fps bottleneck on an amd 7900xt
I have 3700x also on my budget build and it is using the stock AMD cooler, upgrading to this would be nice for the future proofing but it would also need a new cooler. Not sure if I want to spend $300
5900 is not future proofing at this stage with next gen so close. Objectively one would need to look at the overall budget and what that may buy on AM5 OR INTEL socket XXXX

I've got a 5800x and am thinking about this. Solely so I can max out my board without upgrading everything.
Depends on what your doing. I'm currently working on a video project and it would turn a 24 minute render into about 12 minutes for me. I have a ryzen 5 3600. I have a friend with a 5900x and it would be the way to go. Although. I've seen the 5950x for sale similar price

I'd add this:
It's not future proofing at this price.
It is a performance boost, but it's not really substantial compared to what you could probably get on newer platforms when value for the price is considered
Not really a deal, the 5900x isnt aging well and is priced too high still. For example a 13600kf is the same price and is faster in every regard, gaming, single thread and multi-thread. The only people that might even consider this are people on AM4 that refuse to upgrade to a newer/better platform and dont care that they arent getting a good performance to price CPU. I'd skip this and just invest into another platform when you are able to, instead of sinking more money into AM4.

You'd have to consider if your cooling needs to be upgraded, as the 5900x runs hotter
