Guys; quick question as I'm sifting through the jungle of motherboards and compatibility issues. How long will the LGA 1700 remain relevant/viable for upgrade? I understand it's quite new, but I've heard that it might be short-lived, causing potential issues 4-5 years down the line if I wish to upgrade my CPU. I mostly want PCIe 5.0 support and DDR5, but that's not hard to find. I think perhaps AMD is a safer bet, with them usually keeping their sockets for longer (AM5 will more than likely be viable in 5 years time).
As I've mentioned before, I have no loyalty. I'm considering either a 13600K or perhaps the 7800X3D, the latter seems like crazy value in comparison, especially given its low consumption. 4090 combo with 7800X3D is looking mighty sweet.
