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

[Mensy]

Best summary of em all

Hhhmmm now thats has made me think i wanna save £100 over the x570s, i could probably use that £100 next year and get a x670 because the price will be back down to normal

You could have tried your 1700 at higher voltage. Mine wouldnt go higher than 3.7. But once i went to 1.38v it was fine at 3.9

I think out of desperation I went all the way to 1.4v -1.45v just to see and no difference.

Intel are done on all fronts.

Its time boys... What are the reviews saying?

Amd are king.

 

[maltrabob]

Would a Zen 3 work in an X470?

It works fine even with a B450 chipset mobo, so no issue there.

That's weird.
Cinebench is FPU. Which is gaming performance. To be ahead on Cinebench Single Thread benchmark, but coming second in gaming isn't right.
I don't trust the 9900K clocks.

If Cinebench = Gaming Performance then today would have been a whitewash for AMD.

It's just not the case.

In an AMD chip there's so much more going on, CCXs, Infinity Fabric, Chiplets etc.

Why would it be a white wash? You can't force stuff to use cores and 9900K has better core for core performance.
If you ran a 9900K at max and a 3900X at max in Cinebench ST. The 9900K would win out. As it does for gaming.

I'm spending the £1500 I had earmarked for a beefy new AMD rig on something that can bring me some more enjoyment than 10-15%
gains on my 5 year old CPU. On a side note I'm spending too much time here, last night I dreamed Raja Koduri was at a mate's house party and we sat for a chat.

Yep, can get a 2080 Super and save the rest, that'll give you much better gaming performance than £1500 on a new AMD rig.

It is a whitewash. AMD just showed Intel a clean pair of heels.

Just saying the 9900k is still the gaming king is not looking at the whole picture, if you just look at the top of the charts and go by that your missing a lot out.

The 9900k is old hat now, its on an older platform with much less functionality, uses much more power and is less secure.
Now i dont know about most folk here but that more than make a difference to me when it comes to a few % in some gaming benches - the Zen2 platform is clearly superior and no 5-7% win is some games is going to make up for that.
Heck we dont even know what the 3800x will do yet, or the 3950x which is still to come to battle the 9900kf

We also dont know the limits of the ones just released either.

Yeah but it is still the gaming king old hat lol its only been out 8 months.

Sensational!

Cant wait for the coming days/weeks and see just how good these chips are!

I'm thinking of getting a couple. I hate the idea of stepping down to 80's not TIs or top of the stack but they're the same price as my 1080Tis cost and should give me another 20-25% hopefully.

Well let's see how long it takes AMD to depose it, I'm guessing two years at their current glacial speed of gaming progress.

Do we know why the x570 boards are so much more expensive than previous gens?

They are using server grade PCB boards due to the Gen 4 needs for PCIE4 = higher cost.

 

[Troezar]

Seem to have been a number of low post sleeper accounts activated recently to pour cold water on this launch. Coincidence?

 

[z10m]

Is that an outlier?

No but he only showed two titles.

One of them wasn't pouring cold water in their defence

 

[Jokester]

There’s something else going on their as there is definitely IPC gains over the Zen+ 2700.

 

[shur]

Do you know when you lower the price intel your cpus?

 

[subbytna]

9900K still wrecks AMD for gaming. That's all I need to know.

If you're buying a 9900k then you're not gaming at 1080p. At higher resolutions it's basically even match but then with multi tasking it beats the 9900k.
