Just saw a competitor put Ryzen 5000 series pre-order queue system online now with 2698 outstanding pre-orders, Ryzen 9 5900X is most popular with 1538 pre-orders, Ryzen 9 5950X has 551 pre-orders, Ryzen 7 5800X has 329 pre-orders and Ryzen 5 5600X has 280 pre-orders. Surprised people are happy to spend £559.99 on Ryzen 9 5900X.

Demand seemed less than RTX 3000 series with 5434 outstanding pre-orders with 2177 pre-orders for RTX 3070, 2705 pre-orders for RTX 3080 and 552 pre-orders for RTX 3090.

I 'only' paid £509 for my 5900X because I knew OCUK would **** me over with their inflated prices, lack of communication and long-ass queue. I'm already in that situation with the 3080 Tuf so once bitten and all that.

I order a 5900x on release day, and recieved en email saying my amazon payment had been confirmed. I also recieved an email thr next day on friday saying im queue position 271, roughly how long should i be expecting to wait?

4weeks

Awful launch from AMD.

You can pick up a 3900 non-x for £325, which means the 5900x is about 25% more powerful (give or take) at a 70% higher premium.

I get it, they're in a position where they can now take the **** similar to what Intel did, but to be doing it now is a major kick in the ******** for everyone.

All previous gen processors seem to be bumping in price too.

I can get a previous gen car for loads off the retail price too.
Both still drive to the same location.
One is a bit faster or more efficient than the previous.

ryzen 5000 series now online - 5950x, 5900x, 5800x & 5600x coming nov 5th at 5pm **no competitors**

don't know what ram will work the best but just today i received 4x8 for my new build. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...zen-tuned-ddr4-memory-dual-kit-my-4c1-cs.html
And 38. in queue for 5900x so hope mid next week should turn on my pc after 3 months waiting for all parts. I gave up the 3000 series and bought the 5700 xt oc from Gigabyte. Hope GPU will serve me for few months and want to see AMD 6000 series.

again its not about 2 or 4 sticks its about ranks. 2 dual rank sticks would/should be even better than 4 single rank.

how do you check that ? would this one be it ?

You could get high rated 32gb 3600mhz cl16 kit for £145.00

Careful with those kits, some of them are single rank, some are dual but no way of knowing until you get it.

And it really makes very little difference outside benchmarking! Doubt you could actually tell the difference in day to day use. I think people get far to worked up about achieving the very best memory performance.

Yeah each to their own I guess. I just like to get the best for the money I spend and this seems to have quite a large impact on performance for little difference in spend so probably worth at least considering.

See prices crept up again, 5900X now £560! Clearly a lot of demand, I'll wait until the price is at least £100 cheaper.

Well according to this guy there's little demand so no clue why theres problems!

Not sure why people are happy to spend 650 + for a card that has less VRAM then there last flagship either TBH .

Not just last flagship but last 2 flagships, 1080Ti was also 11GB card (released 3.5 years ago).

Indeed, TBH I think Athlon is just trolling, Upset that AMD is bringing a fight to Intel and finally Nvidia thus trying to make out not many want a AMD CPUs.

It depends how you look at it.
1. You can complain that AMD is bad because you pay 70% more for 5900x that is "only" 25% faster than 3900
2. You can praise AMD that 3900 is 70% cheaper and only losing 25% performance

There are options for every budget, for the best you always pay more - it never scales linearly no matter what the product is. Best products are never "value products".

Looking at the big picture, I think it's amazing launch from AMD.

Indeed.

When I last bought a CPU (Broadwell E i7-6850k hex core) it cost me around £500 or so? I'll still use it going into next year, so that's 5 years of good value, and it still rocks for gaming.

I expect to get at least 3/4 years from the 5950x I've ordered, and at the price I paid I consider this 16 core beast much better value for money than the flagship Broadwell cost last time, which I didn't buy (£1650 for the i7-6950x with 10 cores).
