Mainboard upgrade time! AMD Ryzen 5 7640U, Batch 5 (arrived today). Old board is moving to its new home, a cosy 0.57 sq ft Cooler Master case. (alien.top)

I'm still super torn between the R5 & the R7 and have a Batch 7 order for the R5.

Can't make a decision

What will be the usage?

Imho 7 isn't worth the price difference. I really wanted the extra cores but I find even running VMs the ryzen 5 was solid. Instead I run a minisforum ryzen 7 4800h for running thread heavy applications. It was cheap

You can't change your cpu model after placing your pre-order, i ran into that problem myself.
