If you know you will use all the cores than keeping AM4 platform and getting 5900x probably wins, but by slim margin.

For me 5900x would cost 285€, while brand new B650 mobo with 7700(non x) and 32GB DDR5 6000 would total 500€, getting something like 13600k would also be around the same. The question is if you sell your current mobo+cpu+ram as combo is the difference in price too much to switch to AM5(Or Intel). The actual pricing in your region might sway this more towards one option or the other.

The big issue in my case is that if i jumped to the am5 it couldn't be just any motherboard because i have a lot of SSDs and nvme on my PC, more than ten. I would need an equivalent with as many ports as the taichi.

And of course there is the price gap, here in Brazil these new chips are extremely expensive, like three times more than someone in Europe would pay.

I think i'll stick with my current setup and only upgrade the cpu for now, thanks for the answers.

According to AMD ryzen 1000, 2000 and 3000 series will not get patched for the sinkclose vulnerability.
What are they thinking?

Probably because it requires Ring-0 access which isn't normally possible to be granted by users. I read into it a bit and it can only be infected from bootable media or a boot disk. As long as everyone only gets their bootable media from reliable sources (and verify the md5sum before creating and using it) then the chances of being infected are actually quite low to almost non-existence. The media is blowing it up out of proportion.

Seems AMD changed his mind and fix for AMD Ryzen™ 3000 Series Desktop Processors (Formerly codenamed) “Matisse” is Target for 2024-08-20 as you can see here.
I think Asrock only update 3xx motherboard line if many people ask for.

To be fair we are WAY past the end of their original warranty period for the X370 Taichi by multiple years. They aren't obligated or required to support anything for this motherboard past the end of that date. If they give us any update or any support for this board then it should be considered a nice gift, not something to be expected of them.

You again. I dont think so. There is no gift in the market if there is no laws companys do whatever they want. Why they only provide 1 year of warraty if AMD provide new firm. updates? $$$? There are new processors in the market, there is a big flaw on the security, there are many people using those motherboards taday, cost nothing $$ to asrock to provide an updated BIOS, to be fair be responsible and care about sustenaibility and enviroment it is very important and this is a forum of customers but you seem a person payed by the company to promote its iterests.

Again you seem to not understand how computers and technology works. Even with computer hardware there is no law saying ASRock "must provide support" for their product after the end of their warranty period. They are giving us updates out of the goodness of their heart because they want to, not because they have to. They do not have to ever support this product again if they don't want to. Their obligation ends at the end of their warranty period.

No one in this thread should "expect" that ASRock will ever give us any other updates for this (VERY OLD!) motherboard. If they do it's a nice thing that they don't have to do. If they don't update it ever again then they don't and we can't get mad about it. The support period ended for this board already. We should expect no more updates ever.

Like I said above: If they stop issuing bios updates for this motherboard it wouldn't be entirely unexpected. If they give us any more bios updates it would be quite surprising and almost shocking.

Nothing shocking or surprising about patching a very serious vulnerability like sinkclose.
When they do issue a BIOS update you are welcome to opt out.
