Yeah I won't be in a rush to upgrade 2700x though I will eventually. Looks a good time to upgrade for those on older platforms.

That 8 core part suddenly become a lot more expensive, nearly twice the price. A good reminder that all leaked information should be taken with a grain of salt. Although to be fair the specs are spot on, it looks like AMD decided to shift the whole product stack down near to launch.

Yup, AMD matching Intel pricing the last few years.
I think you need to wait for benchmarks before claiming that AMD's self-confessed "entry level" 8 core part beats Intel's best 8-core part
Otherwise that's extremely disingenuous.

That's the 16 core and it tops out at 4.1 Ghz all core OC with big volts under water.
Concerned these zen 2 chips are going to top out at 4.2 to 4.3 all core OC. AMD needed that 15% IPC uptake badly.

Same. Time to retire the 3770k methinks.
Rip 3770k 2012-2019
The company with the absolutely highest performing chips (without equal) always charges silly money for them. Both AMD and Intel do/did this.
I'm only bothered about the mid-range chips for two reasons:
1. It's the price point I buy at and
2. Both companies have products which compete at the same performance.
For me - not looking/care at halo products - I can see that AMD is simply matching Intel's pricing.
There is no 8-core/16-thread part for £200 like AMD fans were predicting.
Where are they guys? Where are these 8c/16t £200 chips? Where is the 12c/24t part you were predicting for £300+?
How did those "AMD will save us" predictions go again?
But of course we'll ignore all those predictions now that they were hopelessly wide of the mark, and just concentrate on how these current prices are soooooooooooo greeeeeeeat.

Shame was hoping for the leaked 3700x

I bet they were sat reading these very forums with people saying they happily pay £500 for a CPU
I imagine Nvidia did the same. Being too much of a fan can get you more than you bargained for.That said AMD are still cheaper than Intel and with a very good upgrade path.
Yup AMD doing an nVidia. Enjoy your mid-range chips we've last-minute moved to occupy the high end SKUs, because lack of competition.Actual

AMD got greedy. Simple as.
Anyway, PS5 going to clean up at these inflated prices.
An "entry-level" (AMD's words) £300 chip with a £250 mobo and £150 RAM means an "entry level" gaming PC is costing close to £1000 again.
AMD did say they weren't the budget champions anymore, and they meant it!
P.S. Look forward to "entry level" Navi costing £300.
Ditto. Was a no-brainer if that had been true.
Sadly too good to be true.
I doubt I'll upgrade my PC now. Too rich for me.

Looks as if Intel are still going to have a clockspeed advantage then.
Just watched the Keynote. Emmmm, not sure how I feel.
Pretty sure I wont be buying the 12 core at £500!!! ouch. thats a lot. Im not paying that for a gaming CPU.
Never thought I would say this with Zen2 but I might wait to see what Intel do in H2 2019.

IPC is better with AMD though, plus it uses less power.

We won't be seeing anything with decent uplift from Intel for another 2 years or so by the looks of things.
