Hi everyone. It's been a few years since I've been on here. I have missed a lot since then. I want to upgrade my FX-8350 running at 4.6 to a Ryzen. I don't want the GPU in the CPU and I don't want onboard graphics. I see that the Ryzen line has been around for awhile. I want to get an 8 core because I do mostly gaming and read that the 8 core is good for that. What's the difference between Gen 2 or Gen 3? The difference between Zen 2 and Zen 3. It looks like there are only 2 options.

One other thing. I see where AMD has some new AM5 socket processors. What is the difference between the AM4 and AM5?
Thanks
