Ha, just yesterday I've found my Asus EEE. Sounds like a good fit for similar exercise.

The new CPUs for AM4 socket. Aren't we talking about AM4 as per post title?

Edit: Probably I should have made it clearer...new new AM5 ones are of course welcome and cool.

C'mon, faster compilation never hurts. It's not just build scripts - think of development where it eats plenty of seconds each time you start debugging.

That would be great if that was the case. However you were probably mislead by the title - that IPC increase applies only to 9XXX beasts (Zen 5), not these two AM4 refreshes. At least that's how I understand it.

If the new chips were actually faster than than current line. i.e. Ryzen 9 5950X has higher frequencies and Ryzen 7 5800XT increases boost only by 0.1GHz over Ryzen 7 5800X while Ryzen 9 5900X has more cores and same boost clock. I hardly see anybody upgrading due to 0.1GHz, I'm curious though, what is your rationale? Perhaps you have a slower CPU and you would upgrade since the prices came down?

That's great, however newer CPUs aren't something to be excited for 🤷‍♂️

EDIT: I was referring to new AM4 ones.
