Good to know.

Have you got the upgrade itch yet?

Think I might wait and see if there's a 5700 or Intel induced price drop in the next couple months, or at least around CES, tempted though

Can't even decide if it's worth upgrading my 3700x

Right there with you buddy

[tgrech]

I'm rocking a 1600AF (Rebadged 2600 apparently), 4GHz all-core without straining much thermally, couple more cores and a big IPC and clock boost will serve me well but atm the £150 effective premium for Zen3 parts in the UK and low availability of the 8-core makes it hard to me to justify jumping on straight away.

For me, it’s not. I game at 1440p and at most it’s around MAX 30 fps, which is a fare scenario. Most common it’s around 10 fps more for either the 5600X or 5900X.

Not worth it, unless you do heavy multithreaded workloads, which I personally don’t. So I’ll just keep my 3700X.

no real point in upgrading unless your on a far older CPU I'm on a Ryzen 1700 won't be upgrading until maybe 2025 CPU's generally have good legs on them

Your 3700x has plenty of life left in it yet

No point in upgrading to a dead platform. Mine as well wait for DDR5. You'll need a new CPU, memory, and board after Zen 3 anyway. Sticking with what you got now is more than enough more than likely.
