So, because of all the news about AMD's Carrizo line of APUs, I was looking to know if it would be a good idea to upgrade to FM2+ next year?
I only bought my current motherboard about half a year ago, but the problem is that I'm afraid that I'm already going to be (and possibly already am) limited by my CPU. I am also aware that FM2 is essentially a "dead socket" and I would really like to have the extra horsepower and features that FM2+ can provide over FM2, not to mention that my FM2 mobo only supports PCI-E Gen 2.0 - in other words, not a whole lot I can do right now with FM2. My CPU is already OC'ed to 4.2GHz btw.
I'm not necessarily intending on immediately buying a Carrizo APU as soon as they release, but rather, I think having an FM2+ motherboard that would allow me to still use my FM2 CPU (Athlon X4 750K) while I wait for Carrizo to release would be pretty good, especially with PCI-E 3.0.
But would it be worth it?
And thank you in advance, too.
