There is a recent leak suggesting perhaps 18-20% single core improvement for 9000 X3D over 7000 X3D. Whether that's worth waiting 5 months is subjective.

Not to me, and not worth the upgrade. Be a hard sale life wise to make the upgrade anyhow (need to stop falling apart first) I tell peeps all the time , if you think about going into pc's do drugs it's cheaper.

at least if you buy team red, your shit won't blow up and you still have a path to upgrade from 7000 to 9000 cuz sockets won't change
buying intel now is just stoopid

The range of rumors is running from October to next year. The October rumor is coming from Chiphell. 1usmus is saying 2025. Supposedly Zen 5 is selling more slowly than AMD would like, so they may sit on it for a little while to help get rid of older stock.

Ok so its not that we are at a plateau so to speak, its just that both are focused on efficiency. Intel new 285k will be slower by a small percentage than the 14900k but it will perform comparable 1-5% +/- while using considerably less power.
AMD is just dumb and should have released a X3D variant at the same time even if its just one of them.

The 155H/165H already has pretty insane power to performance ratio.

If you are on AMD, no, it won't matter for a while. Techpowerup recently did a memory speed test between various DDR5 speeds on a 9950X and found the average difference in gaming was about 1% going from 6000 CL28 to 8000 CL38. If you are not currently running the best CPU and GPU, then any money spent on RAM beyond 6000 CL30 would be better spent upgrading the CPU/GPU tier. Beyond that, there are a lot of variables like Flck:Mclk ratios (still best at 1:1 for AMD), SoC power consumption taking away from available core power as RAM speed increases, and all of the various timings/sub-timings that are often very loose to achieve high memory speeds.
Intel has historically relied more on fast memory but it appears that Arrow Lake will be less so than previous generations.

Wife and MIL have old ass PC's - I'm building them both a new PC for Christmas that is Windows 11 compatible. PC part picker is like a cheat code to build these things. This is my MIL's PC , wife is the same except she's getting the sexy ass Falcon North black wood mesh case I wanted (but my Video card was too large). Also I didn't pay that for Win 11, I got 2 keys for $26.
Wife knows it's coming but my Mother in Law has no idea (she's British hence Mum) - I recently had to repair her PC and while we had it I backed up everything on a thumb drive for the new PC.
