Should I upgrade my CPU or wait for new AM5?

Hi everyone. I currently have a 7600X CPU and a 7900XTX GPU. I am aware that the CPU is bottlenecking the system and I'm looking for an upgrade. So far performance isn't bad (far from it), but I know it could be better. I'm divided between upgrading now to a 9800X3D or waiting for new AM5 CPUs next year. Motherboard shouldn't be an issue, as I have a X670E. I have no problems waiting, but with all the AI stuff that is going on I'm afraid the new AM5 CPUs will be quite expensive compared to the 9800X3D without offering a significant performance boost. From what you guys gathered from the state of the industry and the rumors of the next AM5 CPUs, what would you do in my situation?
