13700k vs 7700x.

So it's black friday, and I'm looking to upgrade cpu. The benchmarks are telling me the Intel is about 30 percent faster single core then what I have.

I've got a 5800 X right now, so upgrading the motherboard is a given in either direction. I was curious to see how people have been doing with either new chip.

GPU is a 6800xt, if that matters. I don't have my rig with me right now cuz I'm on the road, so I can't really present the numbers as they stand. Any info helps.

Regarding CPU, get the fastest single core you can afford.
