3900x vs 4790K (I know a lot want to see this). 10% uplift on average. Kinda sad actually. 10% in 5 years. And thats ignoring that large overclock you can typically get on a 4790K. Im willing to bet they are the same FPS if the 4790 is at 4.6-4.8Ghz

im coming from a 4.4ghz i5 4690k, was hoping for a big upgrade going to a 3700x

10% average seems low looking at that videos fps numbers (16%, 11%, 14%, 19%, 10%, 19%. 21% are some of the uplifts), but even so that would be entirely for gaming. The jump for productivity seemed way in excess of 50% increased performance. If you only care about gaming why would you go for a 3900x tbh, the extra cores for productivity are naturally going to have a lower single core performance which is what games mostly care about.

We ship multiple HGV UK to Netherlands each day. Pickup around lunch, overnight on the ferry delivered to warehouse next day.

Must be going through a few hubs to take that long!

Nah its just Sunday between so Saturday would arrive in UK and nothing happens till Monday morning. In fact knowing UK customs/arrival Saturday then it likely at docks saturday and only arriving at hubs on Monday fro Tuesday delivery. At least from my import experience over the years.

Maybe take a look at the lows. Actually don’t it’s pretty sad reading.

Ouch. That’s disappointing.
 
I'm wondering if I should cancel my 3800x order?

A gaming specific upgrade form a 2700x.

What you guys reckon? I'm of the opinion that minimums will be up as well as average and highs.

After I sell the 2700x for say £180 that means the upgrade costs me £200.

Might be better off with more GPU instead.

I was hoping they would arrive Wed/Thurs, before it gets too bad. Remember when they had their stupid dangerous bonfire removed (by court judgement) last year they burnt out a bus? Criminal they can get away with it. If it wasn't such a nice place to be most of the year I'd be out like a shot.

Terrible benchmarks those, he uses a GTX 1080 for most of the video and randomly switches up to a 2080TI and 2080 at the end, but only at 1440p and 4k. GPU bottlenecked all over the show.

Basically has no credence what so ever.

That said if you only game and absolutely nothing else there's no reason to upgrade from a 4790k regardless of platform. Much like the 2700K it just has incredible legs and games simply don't need more. If you're chasing that 240hz dream then by all means get something like a 9900k.

I'm on a 4790k and can't wait to be rid of just having 4 cores.
