there is no new chipset. it was all speculation and heresay.
there may be reharshed X570 boards coming out without the chipset fan like the ASUS one
Gibbo has nodded at the listings, so maybe they are confirmed and I was wrong. That being said, we've still seen prices change before launch, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
if thats confirmed i dont think it is terrible launch price compared with 3000XT series for instance
if there are discounting at the end of Nov and pre christmas, it will make them sweet.
like the 5600x @ £250 which is a £39 off from now, is a very attractive prospect.
Would be great!
If these are due to be released on 5th Nov, does that mean they're usually available for pre-order beforehand, then they get dispatched for delivery on 5th Nov?
Thank you, will have a look.
I really didn't expect my 3900x to be so outdated so quickly. (Only got mine in January). Still it's good to be able to just replace the CPU when I fancy an upgrade without having to junk my motherboard, unlike some other CPU manufacturers I could mention.
AMD have had the same 1.5 year release cycle for the last couple/few generations.

That's because we are past stagnation, can likely expect these sorts of increases every 1 or 2 generations now i would imagine
Going by everything I've read on here, people were moaning because OcUK were increasing prices by the minute during the launch!
LOL exactly .. when will they learn what ocuk says in preorder price is never the price and automatically add £50 and then whatever they think the exchange rate is at for them, etc etc and the usual gouging that will happen on top. seriously when will people learn on here. They even priced the 3950x over £800 while high street had them for MSRP. Remember all done for your convenience...
I use to buy every build from here and this new build was going to be purchased from here too 3950x build, in end got screwed on the ordering a 3090 and 3080 on here and then the sudden change in price for the 3090 and 3080 was not on really. So went elsewhere to buy the Motherboard, 3950x and memory and made a huge saving when I looked at the basket OCUK had priced up for the exactly same parts.
Seriously till they stop this behaviour I will be shopping elsewhere and tired of why MSRP can't be hit while every other item that is sold at MSRP always is MSRP elsewhere, just the pc components market is taking its customers for a ride as we have seen lately with even manufactures scalping customers MSI... I also believe a lot of the 3080 and 3090 stock on there is coming from retailers hiding and pretending to be customers of retailers to sell on their goods at scalping rates too. See till we all stop the hype trains on new products and the silly way most pc buyers behave this behaviour will only get worse and they will take us all for a ride.
Anyone believes the 5950x will be £750 when it lands here is dreaming .. £850+ if they get stock before any of the well known high street shops, but this behaviour I noticed has started to even rub off on these high street stores too with recent price adjustments for products they don't even have in stock.. SO all who pay over MSRP are asking for it really.. I will not be encouraging this behaviour and will avoid it like the plague..
Also shop around there is some good deals on Ryzen 9 at some places right now, some have suddenly gone up since the 5000 series was released or should I say will be released 5th November .. But shop around there are some good deals about and as we have seen price bump by AMD which is justified for the 5000 series and once all the 3000 series is gone that will be the new price to come, so maybe good time to go out and grab some of the 3000 series at good prices and worry about 5000 series when the prices come down or on sale. Also remember the X and XT versions there is hardly any difference but some places have a huge discount on the X versions , but not here £5 at most I saw earlier on the 3900xt and X... So go grab what is available right now at the sensible prices before they all go out of stock or all shoot up in price as they will once stocks get low. The 3000 to 5000 series for 1440p and 4k makes zero difference, the joke is 1080p gamers that want 500fps .. , Be real spend the money on a better GPU and setup that will make playing or working better, I would rather have a ultra wide or 4k screen than worry about a 1080p comparison, 1080p has been dead for over 5 years for me and I would never go back to that resolution if you paid me.
So before all 3000 series vanishes maybe go grab a deal and update your 1080p monitors with the money saved and add the rest onto a better GPU or motherboard or a nice NVME SSD.
Prices can change for many reasons but with CPUs is it easy there are less variables in play as only one version of each CPU for a start and AMD set the distribution cost price.
Graphics prices vary more as all board partners have different prices and then many time with a graphics card MSRP the MSRP is generally capped for just a small amount of cards at launch which once sold means price will go up normally not an issue for a regular launch as MSRP may hold for hours or days but with 3080 launch the allocation was oversold in seconds.
CPU MSRPs are real and permanent so all that effects them is exchange rate and reseller margin.
I have a B450 tomahawk with a Ryzen 2600 starting to think I may just get a cheap 3700x however getting a B550 + 5600x is tempting especially as it will be pci-e 4.0 but much more outlay and I want to get the mid range big Navi card too when it comes out!
Thats a pointless question. if Money isn't a factor then there is literally NO reason to pick the 5800x. But money is a factor. Always.
Outdated ? come on really... Go get a coffee and get off the hype train... Your cpu is in the top 1% of what most people own. See this mentality is the cause of the never ending scalping and gouging.. Your CPU will be fine for many years to come and you will notice no difference if you are 1440P + gamer..

yes exactly - since first year of ryzen. For the 14 years prior to that, Intel was thrashing them. They're doing great and I'm happy about it, but I stand by my statement.
No, we think that this is the last generation of CPU on AM4.
From what AMD is telling us next update will be a DDR5 motherboard and new chipset, so this will be the last update for the X570 B550 X470 B450 boards, they will be moving onto a new CPU design and pin layout AM5 I guess they are calling it. SO The 5950X will be the last in that range unless they come out with a XT with minor frequency bumps at best. SO think of it as a dead platform after getting a 5950x and next round is DDR5 and new cpu pinouts and chipset.
Thanks.
Well my idea is out the window.
I was going to cancel my ASUS Strix 3090 from OCUK and get the best cpu and mother board, and with the change buy the new AMD GPU
