And so, the tables turn once again in the three and half decade AMD/Intel war. This is going to go on until I die, isn't it?

Ough! Thats future sales of Intel CPUs going down the drain.
Ryzen changes their sockets less often too. I went from a 2600 to a 3700x to a 5800x with the same motherboard. Unless Intel really steps up their game I don't see any reason to switch back.
Wasn't that before they switched to LGA though?
Wasn't what? They still sell AM4 chips to this day.
They’ve committed to support AM5 (the LGA socket launched 2022) through at least 2027.
This is a solid policy. AFAIK even with ancient Asus B350 Board, you can use Ryzen 5800X3D - which is still a solid gaming CPU
Yep.
I was debating it because I still had a 1700x, bit the bullet and went with the 7800x3d
In three years I probably still won't need a cpu upgrade, but the last AM5 x3d will give me another 3-4 years into am6

No, or very few, locks in too. Like overclock or have virtualization.
Excellent point!
I have been rocking and since the first Aylin series, simply because I think Intel deserves and requires a competitor. The fact that the new (and last few) amd units are good value for money helps a lot!
