I have a mini-ITX rig,and looking at the power figures from a few figures,the Ryzen 7 3700X looks like it consumes very little power:

https://hexus.net/tech/reviews/cpu/132374-amd-ryzen-9-3900x-ryzen-7-3700x/?page=11

It consumes less power than a Core i7 8700K!

Yeah except all the reviews compare both CPUs at stock in games and we already know that Zen 2 has 0 benefits when overclocked. The difference will be higher when 9900K is overclocked.

So you don't think day1 immature bios can't have any impact on these chips? And what were seeing today is defacto final performance we will see for their entire lifetime?

 

[N19h7m4r3]

Has anyone found reviews specifically checking the audio levels of the darn X570 chipset fans?

I'm really worried about audio levels, and reliability on that darn thing.
Got the silly priced Gigabyte Extreme in my chart mostly because it's Passively cooled which guarantees more reliability

1-2 FPS difference in almost every scenario there, not bad.

 

[Stephanie Peterson]

Ridicules how close the 3700x at 65w gets to the 9900k at much higher power.

For me Intel need to ..... not suffer anymore security vulnerabilities.

I think that is like expecting Boeing to make safe planes, currently. I.E. Not going to happen.

 

[jigger]

Jumped on the Taichi bandwagon. Over £100 less than I expected to pay - means I can maybe go 3900x over 3800x despite only needing it for gaming .... can't help myself!

Is that from that place located close to one of big Sam's former employers?

Pretty interesting result from compbase. At least this one have 3600 for those that trying to find one.

Too many dollaroos for that to ever happen!

Is it really that difficult to test the systems with as close as possible RAM speeds and timings?

 

[pmc25]

The 9900k, for gaming it's the no-brainer.

Not at all. In a year it probably falls behind. As soon as PS5 / XBN are out, it's likely curtains. It will be like how Intel fared vs Ryzen 1, but worse.

Plus you can expect more security related performance downgrades.

Plus, most of the reviews you're seeing do not have results for the Intel chips on patched W10 / firmware ...

Plus, you'll actually be able to upgrade to Ryzen 4.

What else is there to go on?

You can speculate about BIOS improvements but at this point in time there's nothing to indicate much, if any, OC room on these chips.

It is impressive. As long as its cool enough I guess its fine. No tweaking needed! Unlike the i9 https://www.anandtech.com/show/13400/intel-9th-gen-core-i9-9900k-i7-9700k-i5-9600k-review/22

Indeed it is. Took me a short while to get the reference - I was thinking for Uncle Sam

 

[flea.rider]

just pulled the plug on a 3700x .. wifes getting the old 1700 and new board mem .. evens it up
the tiachi x370 can handle it and my mem does 3466 now .. should be able to go 3600+ ..
all in all cheap upgrade

yes 3700x looks good and powerful and frugal if left at stock. https://www.bit-tech.net/reviews/tech/cpus/amd-ryzen-7-3700x-review/7/

I am tempted with a stock 3700x and the prism cooler and a b450 rather than having the expense of OC.

 

[N19h7m4r3]

I know right!

Although it seems they went for Stock memory settings for all CPU.

I'd like some comprehensive comparisons with memory from 3000Mhz upwards.

I don't know but I hope it does .
At the moment what I'm seeing is that Zen 2 is very good but very much overhyped.

 

[azazl187]

Neither of those prices are correct.

Oh yea, sorry my mistake
