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

[DonforEuropa]

I'll purchase today, if I can manage 3600 in current build basket

 

[roysters]

[wookiee87]

So who is buying today or are yous waiting for reviews and benchmarks 1st ?

What sites do people recommend for non-gaming benchmarks and especially DAW usage?
I used to like TechReport but they only seem to review mouse mats and cheese these days.

Can see the 3600 being the next 2500k for gaming at less than £200.

No way. 2500k/2600k topped charts at reasonable prices. What 3600 might do is match performance we've had for years for half the price. Impressive, but 2500k was something else (even more so when overclocked).

3600 is probably going to be in a lot of gaming computers and for a good reason.

Depends on Mobo prices.

Gamers nexus. But don't expect them soon. Stuff like that usually comes much later.

Not to put too fine a point on it or that anyone cares but I had a Colonoscopy this morning with no sedation or pain medication. Was all clear, but that was horrendous. So I am VERY feeling in the mindset of treating myself to Zen2.

You went through what all nvidia users go through every new release

...j/k glad it was all clear for you

Buying today.

We know roughly where it's at, the reviews are just a confirmation really.
Slightly below the 9900K on single thread, way ahead on multi-thread.

My personal opinion... that's good enough, bye bye expensive Intel... hello AMD.

Nope.

There's a competitor based in Bolton that rhymes with "Pram". Their Pro Audio blog does pretty exhaustive dawbench testing, but usually a few days after the launch of a new CPU. (Is it ok to link to them if it's not a sales thing?)

The CS:GO result is..... surprising.

I lol'ed a lot at that.

No, you are still linking to an OCUK competitor regardless.

I know Pete from SOS so might drop him a message on their forums. He tends to test with overclocked chips though which puts me off but I'll still take a look.

Fair enough. Am I right in assuming oblique references such as the one above are alright? (I've seen a bunch of people doing it but don't want to tread on any toes)

Oh cool, were using that racist frog meme?

lol nothing racist about it, just a bunch of screeching harpies who said it's racist cos they are trying to get victim points.
