switching platforms is a very expensive move these days.

It’s just a motherboard and a cpu. Everything else is cross compatible, likely even your cpu cooler. If you just buy another intel chip… it’s just gonna oxidize again.

$370 for a 7800x3d microcenter.com/…/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d-raphael-am5…

~$200 for a motherboard.

Personally i’d wait for the next release to drop in a month… or until your system crashes aren’t bearable / it’s worth making the change. I just don’t see the cost as prohibitive, it’s about on par with all the alternatives. Plus you could sell your old motherboard for something.
