This is a Microcenter in-store only deal, but I successfully price-matched with Best Buy for getting it shipping to me. Good CPU for budget builds.

You can pick up in used 3500X for about $45 with similar performance and get PCIe 4.
3500X is 6c/6t. 5500 is 6c/12t.

Isn't AM6 not expected to be released until 2027 but more than likely not till 2028/2029? If so that ain't no where near "around the corner". Now BF, yeah that's close enough that if you don't need something to wait.

Still trying to decide if this is worth it for me to upgrade my 2600x. It seems to do what I need, and having a 1060 6gig, don't think I would see any real improvement.
I know the 5500 is faster and lower power, but not sure I would notice the difference for how little I use it (I use my laptop for most stuff).

Possibly as late as 2029-2030, if 32-core Zen 7 ends up on AM5 around 2028. Yes, that's alleged: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmEsqg-g_X4

One reason AMD might do that is to avoid another slow start with expensive memory situation. And it's probable that with a better DDR5 memory controller and faster DDR5, it will be fine even for 32 cores.
