Ram speed doesn't seem to make much of a difference does it? Or is my memory failing me?

It does have an impact. You can definitely do better performance wise than the 6000 36 on a K or KS that they used for example. I guess at 1080p though at some point does it matter as the frames are so high anyway and at something like 4K its probably much of a muchness. With regards to stock vs stock you could just plop in some faster RAM for both CPU's and get better results without any faffing but the Intel chips will benefit the most overall.

Completley agree, it was the power consumption swaying me

It's a new build right? Are you likely to buy a new motherboard for the next chips that come along? If not you could just plop in a 9950x3d or whatever it is going to be called straight in no brainer.

? Stock vs Stock is fair. If AMD tune their CPU's more efficiently out of the box and Intel don't, then this is Intel's problem.

The reviews need (and indeed do) represent what a typical end user can expect, with an out of the box/stock configuration.

Well then using faster ram is fair. It’s not Intels fault AMD can’t get ram above 6000mhz stable.

Think I would skip the next iteration of cpus and upgrade the gpu instead, though depends how I feel. At the end of the day it will be a 2 or 3 component swap which doesn't bother me that much.

I have a work meeting in a bit, so I'll think about it more later I guess

Fair enough I am looking for an excuse to upgrade as well. I know I would buy a new MB anyway even though the 9950X or whatever would plop straight in so just want the fastest for my use case til next round. Seems there isn't one though really its so close now between them. Both are great.
 
Do we have a indication of the price on the 7950x 3d? <£800 or more?

Just pricing up motherboard, ram waterblock and PETG pipe and already at over £700 :<

So I've seen some graphs posted showing the power consumption is less than half of the 13900K in games, does that translate to quite good CPU temps in gaming then? Anyone seen any CPU temps while gaming?

Hopefully there is some stock in OCUK today.

I'm worried about stock - no word from @Gibbo (or someone else from OCUK to cover him if on leave etc) which is very strange for a big new CPU launch.

That said, if they are priced £750 you can't imagine they'll be flying off the shelves, considering the state of the economy.
