AM5 will get at least 1 more CPU update, maybe 2. So at least Zen5 and probably a Zen5+ or more.
I also keep my systems a long time. Started with a AM4 2700x/B450 and have a 5600x now on the same board and will wait for Zen 5 maybe for my next one. So AMD does seem to support its sockets longer than intel on average.
Honestly, if you don't have any plans on upgrading again for another 10 years, then it really doesn't matter if there's an upgrade path or not as both platforms would be replaced by newer generations. I myself rarely update. I would still keep my current system except for the fact that Windows 10 is going end of life next year which is the only reason why I'm looking so that I can get it over with and hop on the Windows 11 train since my current system is not supported. If Microsoft wasn't ending security updates next year for Windows 10, I wouldn't even upgrade at all.

Great price, I'd take the lower tdp of the 7600 over the 7600x for sure
You can set the 7600X to Eco (60W) mode, and it should still perform slightly better than the 7600 due to better binning.
7600 vs 7600X comes down to price though. Get whichever's cheaper unless it's <$10 more for the 7600X and that matters to you. I didn't want to have a useless CPU cooler sitting around too, which is why I went with the 7600X.
It really depends on what you're doing. Basic computer tasks you are correct, but the 7600 is noticeably faster in other tasks (gaming for example and single core workloads).
Yea I didn't say this was the same, the entire point of what I said was the value of the 3600X.
Today, it's still better per-dollar value than buying this. Some day that will change but it just hasn't happened yet.
So please confirm my thoughts. I built my current intel pc at least 10 yrs if not more. So now I'm planning on a new build with a slow cpu for a non gamer with a future for cpu upgrades It's seems that the current intel 1700 line is reaching its end of life vs the AMD am5 platform. Am I correct in thinking so?
Thank you in advance.

It is really amazing the difference in the TDP and the similarity in performance. I am sure with overclocking you will get the same performance and similar TDP.
I guess it is a good enough deal as long as you don't live near a Micro Center and I think they have been less on Amazon... There was someone on Ali that was selling the 7500f for ~$140. It is gone now...the seller had good ratings as well (for Ali).

Correct. AM5 is the way to go.
