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

Can we all take a minute to look at DGs Pubg charts, and appreciate that AMD just matched and or bwat Intel in that game in particular?

Therefore rendering all discussion of Pubg being better on Intel basically irrelevant... ;)
It doesn't matter. AMD released an 8c CPU 2 years ago, and we're told that PUBG defines CPU performance. Now AMD release a CPU that can beat Intel at PUBG and we're told that BF1 is the appropriate benchmark, so a Zen 1 CPU should have been bought 2 years ago.
When Intel had nothing but 4c 7700K, Zen 1 were crap because single core is Jesus. Now that Intel has 8c 9900K, Zen 1 was Jesus afterall, and 4690K owners were dumb for not recognising their messiah 2 years ago.

:D:D:D:D God almighty......................is that sooooooooo true :D
 
After the benchmarks come in, when the dust settles... the battle cry from the intel side, it cant be performance any more, games, heat or power...
Nope the future fanboi wars will be fought, they will be fought over a stupid tiny wee fan on the chipset.

According to AMD the new Ryzen chips are 22% faster in PUBG.

So if we use that benchmark, Ryzen is still 10% slower than the 9900k :eek:

:rolleyes:
 
It seems some people have incredibly short or just very selective memories. 8700K was paper launched on 5th October 2017, and there was no stock until the end of November, and even then it was OEM and the Black Friday price was £370 nearly. https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...ee-lake-price-drop-for-black-friday.18801128/

Now basic maths is not my strong point, but Nov' 18 is only 1.5 years ago right? So... by my reckoning we'll need to wait 6 months from now to see any Zen2 availability, or certain people are just wrong a huge amount of the time.

EDIT: Nov ' 18 should have been Nov '17, my apologies.

Surely B550 will still have PCIe 4 off the CPU? Just, presumably, not on the PCH if there's cost savings happening.

Quite possibly yes. I was just pointing out what i heard on a video by either Gamers Nexus or HW Unboxed, but they were vague in their info.

6 months ago :p

Uhh that not true. 8700K was paper launched on 5th October with no stocks??? That was absolutely false. 8700K was actually launched and OCUK had about 300 in stock, I checked my past order found I ordered 8700K and OCUK shipped my 8700K on 6 October 2017.
 
To add 2 cents to fps discussion

You absolutely can get 50% more fps by going from 4 core cpu to something bigger. Not the avg, but minimums, the ones you actually notice, the ones that get you shot.
And even avg If not on Ultra like every benchmark site, but on potato settings to keep steady 144fps.
 
Cheers. :)

Looking forward to JayztwoCents review, he's the only reviewer I tend to listen to.
Agreed, Linux i want to punch, nexus used to be cool now he thinks he is the dogs pyjamas same with ufd tech, that Australian guy winds me up, jayz is the only one that seems down to earth and real
