AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

My budget is 1k for chip, board, ram, new storage.
I can go over a little, so for me I'll buy on price and will be picking a cpu probably in the region of £450-£500.
 
I suspect it’ll be closer to £600.

I'd struggle to justify that to myself.
It all depends on clocks and the per clock performance though as to what I buy.

Ultimately I'm more than happy with 8C/16T as long as I can get the same performance per core as you can from a 5GHZ Coffeelake Core.

i just need the chip and board, a cpu waterblock and eventually a monoblock. i hope my dominator rgb 3600mhz will run at that speed with zen2, i will hold off until reviews come in, if ram will run at hight frequencies with decent cpu speed compared to the 9900k, if amd have done things right then i'm sold.

I suspect I'll be torn between buying the top 8C vs 12C. Just gaming and casual video/photo editing, but I want the upgrade to last a good 4+ years. Since the consoles have 8 cores, part of me (my "PC pride") wants to have more cores.

2700X on a single core boosts to 4.35Ghz, correct me if i'm wrong.

If the 3300 is running at 4.0Ghz, as stated then:

2700X @ 4.35Ghz 5.061 (+2%)
3300 @ 4.0Ghz 4.923

4.0Ghz + 9% = 4.35Ghz

So the IPC is up 7%. on a very mixed benchmark FP + Integer

It's wrong. The 2700X normally scores around 4800 single-core. That 5061 is when all cores are overclocked in which case you can't compare with the 4.0 GHz boost clock of the Zen 2 sample.

Are you sure? add 5% to 4.800 you get 5.021 add 5% to 4.35Ghz you get 4.57Ghz.

The highest usable all core overclock i have ever seen on a 2700X is 4.4Ghz running on my gaming mates top end Asus board.
Another one with a 2600X has it at 4.3Ghz

Yes, you changed the positions of the scores.

Corrected. :)

Well I just derailed that for my Polish forums. 2700x score on that Bullcraptuicle is Lower than it really is on stock cpu on mine score is like this

My single [email protected] is still Higher than what they shown and that does not boost as high as stock 2700x as You mentioned.
They ran that 2700x with 2133cl18 memory or something :D

Well yours is 1.7% higher, i'd call that a margin off error and you're running a different version.

Edit: their screen shot is showing the 3300. 3.99Ghz
Edit 2: if its 4.25Ghz the IPC difference is 9%

Look at Multicore score on my system vs what they got in there.... and as mentioned I'm Lower Single core boost than Stock 2700x
 
Your score is with DDR4-3600, the Zen 2 score is with DDR4-2666.
Your version is Geekbench 4.3.4, the tested one is 4.3.3.
8700k score asked my mate to run it. Guys on that can sleep no problem. So I need to Download older version You say BRB !!!

there are lots of varables at play here, the leaked results are running on a pre release x570 bios so not all of it will be finished, plus without exact ram speed and timmings, a increase of 1.7% is within margin of error at this point, for it to be faster it would need to be above 5% or more really for any real world gains

At 25.5K they are almost identical, maybe a 1% difference, what about it? its 6 core vs 8 core, i think its best to stick to single core in comparing IPC.
