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 9 285K
Solid productivity chip that gets criticized because it lost the gaming crown. If you don't game, it's a real option. Requires a new LGA 1851 board.
