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 — Ryzen 9 7950X
Superseded by the 9950X and 9950X3D but still a great deal on the used market for productivity workloads. Runs at 95°C sustained — that's normal on Ryzen 7000, not a defect.
