True. I almost feel guilty I live near 2 of them. No idea why they didn't spread them out more.

That number grew from four? They must've made a new store somewhere!

AMD needs to keep dropping the price. The i9-12900F is $500 better gaming performance and gaming efficiency, and matches the 5950x in multi-threaded workloads but with worse efficiency. Zero reason to spend $700 on a 5950x now that the 12900F exists for $500.

Only reason would be if you are already on the x570 platform and thinking of upgrading which is unfortunately my case

Switching to Intel involves getting a new MB, memory, etc. Don't know if that's worth it. Anyhow neither are in my budget. Good luck!

x570. For some reason it won't let me just post that so here's more words.

I did just that. Had the 3950x for a while but cut the cord and went for the 12900k instead. Intel architecture works infinitely better for some things.

It's actually not much more expensive. Mobo was $220 (Z690 but now they're releasing all the other cheaper chipsets) but the CPU was $120 cheaper, so only $100 difference. I used my DDR4 RAM I had.

I made up the $$$ difference by turning off my HVAC system this winter.
