Hardware unboxed used non-TDP-restricted Intel CPUs in their review. Other websites may have left TDP-limiting enabled in the BIOS (which was the default for years until Intel hit 10nm issues).

Did. It is still slower in all games. Not saying it’s bad, but if you want the absolute fastest gaming CPU it’s still not AMD. That’s fine though, just life.
Nice dude, im tempted jump for the 3600 and an 5700 myself
I still can't find the CPUs on the OcUK page but can on pretty much every competitors.
Someone forgot to tell the Devs they were meant to come in on Sunday

Somebody should have come in on Sunday!

Slightly disappointing Ryzen 3000 isn't closer to Intel in games, however 8% to the 9900K at 1080P is not far from what i was expecting, which was around 5%, at 1440P which with a 2080TI is a more realistic res for that GPU there is almost nothing in it.
Productivity the 3900X just destroys the 9900K and does that with far less power consumption, really really impressive.
Overall i think pretty good.

Inline with expectations, 5% is neither here or there in gaming.
I game @ 3440x1440 so it means even less as you are GPU limited more than CPU limited.
Neither of those prices are correct.

would a 3900x be ok with an msi tomahawk b450 board? I'm not sure i can justify both the 3900x AND a high price 570 mobo...

Basically no difference between performance X470 vs X570.

Doesn't seem like a great deal of OC headroom on these either so I'm off to get a B450M Mortar.

Also worth noting that the poor memory write bandwidth that was seen in one of the leaked reviews was confirmed by Hardware Unboxed. They basically said the data bus width is halved for memory writes compared to reads, which was a decision AMD made because sequential memory writes are rarely used in consumer applications. I wonder if Threadripper 3 will use the same compromise or not.

What will be amusing is if as suggested, the power abilities are good enough on pretty much all boards they under pbo the system can get the best of of the chip without spending 777
It's not unplabale though, video says why would you need the absolute fastest, when for a saving you get negliable less? Who just games though? Most people sit there with 1000 chrome tabs open and god knows what else running, who benchs with all that guff lol ^_^
£319.99 everywhere that has "stock" right now.

was going to just plonk one of the new chips into my existing board (Gigabyte Gaming 5) and see how it held up but the price of the taichi @~£242 is very very tempting.
