Verdict — Ryzen 7 5800X3D
The most impactful CPU upgrade ever released. If you have an AM4 board and Zen 3 support, this is often better ROI than a whole new platform.
Verdict — Core Ultra 7 265K
Fine chip that suffers by comparison. If you're not on Intel already, AM5 offers better options at the same tier.
