Is it worth to change from Ryzen 5 5600x to Ryzen 7 5700x ?

If you need to upgrade your cpu - switch to am5, sell your previus motherboard, cpu and ram, save some money and buy new

$50 isn't much money, I'd probably do it even though it will make very little difference.

I wouldn’t even go for the 5700x3d. I have one and didn’t see a significant uplift over my 5600. There are some good AM5 deals here and there, I’m happy with mine and that was a good upgrade over the 5600.

Hey I know it’s already been answered - and I agree with the comments saying not worth it - but I have the same CPU but different GPU (2080ti) I’d say if your comments about waiting a year or so is exactly my game plan too. For now though if you have the funds it’s not a bad idea to consider a GPU upgrade if that is something you’re also looking at. The 5060ti and 5070 have gone down in price so they’re somewhat tempting even if only for a couple of years. I bring it up because my plan is to get a 5060ti (possibly 5070) this year, upgrade to an AM5 bundle next year, and then since next year the 5000 supers are supposed to come out, I’m hoping I can upgrade gpu late next year if prices are good Just kinda nervous in general with prices feeling all over the place

No. Save your money for AM5 upgrade.

If you get x3d version then it should have significantly boost some games, mainly esport titles like valorant or CS, or help you with more cpu heavy games, but two cores more are for productivity, for gaming it will be probably negligent, few percent. Just save for AM5. Or for x3d chip.

5500x3d almost has the same performance as 7600, only these cpu would be a decent upgrade for you. Did you try ram and cpu overclocking? Xmp gear 1 can give a lot of performance

If it cost you 200 USD, and it easily can. It might be better to get Ryzen 7500F + 32 Gb RAM for the price, and use the money from selling AM4 platform to cover the rest.

what specifically? for emulators i'd say it's worth it. for most games it's really not. only the 5700x3d or 5800x3d would be somewhat worth it.

that upgrade in particular wont give you much of anything unless you are running CPU intensive games. The biggest upgrade for you is going to get an X3D chip, really any 5000 series X3D chip, even a 5600x3d will give you a more noticeable bump than the 5700x.
