I'm waiting for the principled technology's benchmark report before I buy anything

So why does DG keep saying it was a 8700 non K
He comes up with so much crap he no longer knows what he made up and what's real.

If that is the case then buy elsewhere. It will be cheaper to import it yourself. Even including tax and duty.So are we assuming that prices are basically going to be a direct conversion from US dollar to GBP? Hopefully we get some confirmation on that and motherboard pricing fairly soon.
Is 4x8gb better or 2x16gb? There's a significant lack of 2x16gb kits on ocuk.

On the subject of RAM, I would like 32gb for my Zen2 build. Is 4x8gb better or 2x16gb? There's a significant lack of 2x16gb kits on ocuk.
2x 16GB for a dual channel system. OC's better on dual, though the denser memory doesn't always OC as well.
Yeah get that B-Die stuff while its still around...

What's underwhelming is you can buy a 8 core 16 thread CPU from AMD today for what ~£200 today. We're moving to 7nm, double the transistor density, 8 core/16 thread should be dropping in cost. 7nm costs more per mm^2...
...Going from a £200 2700 8core 16 thread chip to a £300 8 core 16 thread chip when the production cost is significantly lower is incredibly underwhelming and exceptionally disappointing.
New process technology leads to massively higher transistor counts being able to be produced at the same price.
If Zen 2 was on 14nm alone and die size had increased from 200 to 300mm^2, then a price increase would make sense. When a 12 core Zen 2 should cost less to produce than a 8 core Zen 1.... then no, that is a bad price.
8 core Zen 2 should cost less than 8 core Zen 1 or Zen +, because manufacturing makes that true, so the prices going up represent a fairly hefty increase in price. Due to the increase cost per mm^2, 12 cores should come in below 8 core 14nm pricing but not by much and 16 core should come in above, but not by miles. That's a fundamental fact of how die sizes effect costs and how much more you can fit on a new and improved node.
Nobody is ignoring the fact there will be cheaper ones.
People are annoyed because like for like boards have gone up a ton.
The exact same board from x470 to x570 has gone up a lot. Thats why people are annoyed. Rightfully so. I guess that little chipset fan is costing us £80 lol .
you could get a 5820k for 220 at one point. basically as fast as a 6 core amd chip thats going to cost you £200 now. 4 years ago.
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.
ah well looks normal amd self destruction
"Lol"... Like a 8700k can't overclock. Get over yourself with your faux magic.5820k used for gaming. not cinebench what we all buy cpus for lol. while you on about it just show them ryzen top gaming benchmarks in your video lol. you can even see overclocked the 5820k can compete with a 8700k in some games. can you say that about ryzen ? no.
only the newer cpus and in games from what we seen in the pubg benchmark they are about 8700 non k varient. so work that out. 5820k ocd speed LOLOLOLLOOL.
So are we assuming that prices are basically going to be a direct conversion from US dollar to GBP? Hopefully we get some confirmation on that and motherboard pricing fairly soon.
The catch here is tbat you're blind.until i see actual proof of that im okay
as said the amd cpu benchmarked in pubg was slower. it was a 8700. not a k version. they chose a non k version for very obvious reasons.
dg > "hahahaah the best AMD can do now is match an 8700 in PUBG"
> "no that was the 3600"
dg > "hahaha 8700, not even the 9900k..."
> "no, that's the 3600 vs 8700, here are some rumored benchmarks that show a 6% lead for entry level Ryzen 3600 over the 8700"
dg > "lalalal hahah 8700 something pubg something amd havent got anything something something punctuation something"
We might end up with the first 16-core AM4 CPU being an unofficial 12 core, and getting back to the good old days of modding and overclocking, I'm crossing my fingers.![]()
