Not sure what to do. I have a 9900k and its showing its age. I use my computer for work, 3d modeling/animation/video editing. I plan to get a new cpu soon.. but with intel 13th and 14th gen being a ticking time bomb. I game too, but that is now secondary. Trying to get a new cpu because i want to bake simulations faster and also faster rendering between frames.
Im planning on waiting for 15th gen/arrowlake from intel which will be allegedly released this fall. But im gonna assume its paper launch and mobo will be very over priced for first few months or half a year. I need something in the next few months. I looked up amd and they are releasing new cpus in a few weeks. Seems x3d is very good for certain games, but lower clocks. And non x3d variants are alright, but have higher idle wattage than intel cpus and less stable memory controllers.
Im not sure its useful or not.. but intel has quicksync. Not even sure if its used. It apparently use the igpu to help with video editing. But currently i have a rtx 4080. Does amd have an equivalent for their cpus?
If AMD is an option, they plan to release their new high-end CPUs mid-August.
But what's already out is good. Just avoid Intel 13th and 14th gens, and I wouldn't trust the next one before it's been out and got some mileage either.
Got an 5800X3D not long agoand feels like it punches above it's price in performance. It doesn't make sense for you as a new build since I was just trying to eke another use out of my am4 socket mobo, but I can at least attest one of the X3D offerings is a good performer, noticeable improvements in games like X4 and total war and like triple the performance on cinebench compared to my old Ryzen.

You can keep using your RTX 4080 on an AMD motherboard. It won't support Resizable BAR but other than that it should run fine.
