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

[jigger]

No but he only showed two titles.

I’ve played that game and it critical to have at least 250 FPS average. It’s literally impossible to play at less than that.

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

Noticed that myself. Lots of sub 25 post users suddenly appearing

 

[maltrabob]

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

Wrong thread mate.

 

[smilingcrow]

The 3900x v the 9900k. What amazes me is the 3900x has 4 more cores and threads and yet completely destroys the 9900k in power consumption.

Well it is built on a cutting edge process whereas Intel are using the same process that was around in the days of Moses.

Not sure if srs

He's sarcastically responding to any benchmark, without context.

Just to buck the trend slightly, I'm pretty damn excited about all this... even if I am only looking at a 3600.

LOL

I love the cynicism in this thread. All those who have bought into the platform are quite understandably defending and bigging up the launch and hoping they'll see big or bigger performance
gains. Those who haven't already bought into AM4/X470/X570 platform are clearly Intel Shills if they discuss the Emperor's lack of clothes or threadbare undergarments when it comes to some games.
Its bizarre but entertaining becoming an unpaid Intel shill when all I wanted was gaming parity at a reasonable price plus 50% more cores to last another 5 years.

And at 1440P the difference is 6FPS. Can you notice the differnce between 129fps and 135fps? So 6FPS is the differnce between a £329 3700X and a £449 9900k then you have the lower power consumption and better productivity performance. Dont thionk i could justify buying Intel right now

I'm not arguing with that at all. Ryzen 2 are awesome CPUs no doubt but all the hype and fake leaks made it looks like it will be the best CPU for gaming and let's be honest more people game on their PCs than do productivity tasks.
My usage is probably 90% ganing and 0.5% video/photo editing. I hardly even browse internet on my desktop as I prefer to use my laptop or phone for that .

 

[z10m]

Ryzen 3XXX clocks are disappointing.
I was hoping 4.6GHZ.
Not 4.3GHZ =/

That..∆

 

[Legend]

I haven't seen many 4K benchmarks... would there be relatively little difference between the 2700X/3600X/3700X/3900X at this resolution with a 2080Ti?

 

[hominid]

when all I wanted was gaming parity at a reasonable price plus 50% more cores to last another 5 years.

That is exactly what AMD have given you, within a few percent, and I would say for sure that there is more to come when the platform matures.

 

[SiDeards73]

Well as I stated in pretty much set that I will be happy with my upgrade, x570 Taichi and a 3800x total cost £580 minus the £300-350 I'll get for my old stuff, it'll be a net spend of max £280 for a huge upgrade over my 1700.

I game at 3440x1440p, my next upgrade is a 3rd party 5700xt hopefully the Nitro+, my FPS should get a nice boost, can't wait

 

[pacegod]

Do we know why there arent any 3800x reviews? Should we be suspicious in that the 3700x is just as good for less money or will the higher tdp help a little?

 

[Stephanie Peterson]

and let's be honest more people game on their PCs than do productivity tasks.

That is complete and utter nonsense, maybe in the DIY market its possible but i can assure you in the main pc world gaming is a tiny fraction of pc use.

I honestly dont know what is going through the minds of some folk on here, to quote Ripley its like IQs have just dropped sharply.

 

[tommoT.Striker]

Hmm.
That's a little disappointing.

I know there's new controllers due though.
I just can't imagine sticking a 3900X on anything that wasn't a £250 board.

C'mon do it.

My X370 will have seen some action in its time. 1700x -> 2700x -> 3900x [sooooon]

 

[hominid]

And to those complaining of clockspeeds, AMD are binning for all processors from R3/R5's to threadrippers, consoles too I guess, so you will get what you pay for and not much more at this early stage. Gone are the days of massive overclocks as the likes of PBO run the silicon close to it's maximum, coupled with binning there is little headroom in the chips.

 

[opethdisciple]

Tiny Tom said something along the lines of:

For anything 3700x and below you are OK with a x470 and below board. For anything 3900x you will want to get a x570 mobo for the vrms etc...

Your mileage may vary.
