no it supports 3000Mhz via overclocking. the 2XXX cpus support 2933Mhz ram any more is an overclock and as we know its hit or miss.
There have been intel cpu upgrades without the need of a new mobo...
Why do people trot out this ridiculous argument?
Hint: when you buy your PS5 your existing PC will not go *poof* and disappear in a puff of smoke.
Or are you telling me that the market for PS5 is exclusively people who do not own a PC? Don't be daft.
The choice is (and always is) between upgrading/rebuilding your existing gaming/productivity PC and buying a PS5.
Most people's productivity PC only needs to be able to run Office and accounting stuff like you say.
Even rebuilding/upgrading your PC will cost much, much more than a PS5. And what will you get for that? You can say "I only have one device! Less cables!" and that's about as good as your argument gets.
I can say "I have two devices that together represent a much, much, much better value for money proposition."
is it a false upgrade path though ? most of the times it is. older mobos also gimp performance. even if its a small margin. may have issues. you better off just going new mobo new platform with new cpu.
And that’s exactly what you are going to ...sell your 2700x and buy a 3700x lol

As a current one, I cannot. Mine maxes at 4.3Ghz, and reaches silly temps, without being Intel burn, and AIDA64 FPU stable.
Even a base 3600X would beat the 5820K overclocked, as it would have better IPC, and reach better clocks than mine could match. Never mind better memory speeds also.
Edit: How much RAM did you get? I paid through the nose for my 2400Mhz at the time.

I’m hoping B450 will run a 3700x well...at least aswell as B550...

yeah 5 years ago. so 5 years on from that launch amd is giving you a £200 six core thats basically the same speed. such bad pricing.
what makes it worse is you gunna have spend atleast probably £400 on a cpu to upgrade now from that 5 year old cpu because of amds pricing scheme.

thankfully not for all of us. just need a new cpu (i don't need, i want!) and a new mobo - though if they are silly money for x570 i'm more than happy to go ghetto and use a x470 board. that paired with my current ram and gpu (vega64) will be a relatively cheap upgrade from my 1st gen 1600.

Is it ? Are you one of those old ladies that sit in a booth spouting rubbish about someone from a picture on a playing card ?
Just so you know, i have no intention of selling my 2700x and buy a 3700x.......................or a 3800x for that matter.................................................can i have my 50p entrance fee back ?

At one point, ignoring all external factors. And it doesn't look any way faster but whatever.

that was my fall back plan if it was a disastrous release but it's pretty much as i expected. my current combo (1600 + x370 giga gaming 5) is a bit, well basically it's a just a bit ryzen 1!! 3.8 on cpu (could push to 3.9 but little or no gains really) but ram is maxxed at 2933. no amount of faffing around could get ram running at anything better. absolutely no reason to upgrade though as it plays everything i need it to, just fancy some new toys really lol

Exactly this. My overclocked 4690K might finally see retirement, with me finally getting a machine running on 8 cores and DDR4.

I had 16gb Gskill my cpu overclocked to 4450 IBT Prime rendering stable with memory at 2666cl13. Cooling difference full custom loop with 360rad for cpu alone :] Now i got one of best WC setups at ocuk. Common 1080 exterlan Nova extreme thats x3 what i had back thenAs a current one, I cannot. Mine maxes at 4.3Ghz, and reaches silly temps, without being Intel burn, and AIDA64 FPU stable.
Even a base 3600X would beat the 5820K overclocked, as it would have better IPC, and reach better clocks than mine could match. Never mind better memory speeds also.

Isnt that the same for all chips though, what you got high end one year a few years later dribbles down to the lower end which is what we see with the amd 6 core parts.
I have a 5820k, it was not 200 quid when i bought it...
and it had all sorts of issues while intel tried to get its act together and bios's came out thick and fast. Been a good soldier ever since but it wont be staying.
