Looking at a competitor's site, they have the X570 Taichi listed at over £100 off RRP. That could explain the pricing difference.Is it because there's a rebate on it from Asrock or what? Genuinely confused why OCUK would miss that, if it did. Or is it just the other places offering just because?
Our end is correct, the supplier has confirmed our cost to be correct, US sites are $299 +tax so nothing is wrong our end.
I have requested confirmation from Asrock but that won't come until tomorrow but it looks like an error on the competitor site, not ourselves, I'd order two and hope for the best as its below distribution cost so I am sure its a big mistake on their part, or Asrock has made a mistake.
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.
It’s great for gaming of course, but even being conservative I expected it to be closer. I’ve seen 5% difference quoted in this thread but after seeing 4 reviews now it’s 10% plus.
It is a great CPU but not the messiah some want it to be. With gaming at the moment my 12 thread does comfortably with chrome and all sorts open so the 9900k will have no issues.
******* lol at playing at 720p in 2019, really? come on.
Yes, I am looking forward to the wave of excuses lol.As a gamer, I'm about to press buy on 9700k.
I am disappointed. It doesn't "trade blows" with Intel, as we were led to believe...

It's to remove the GPU bottleneck? Not sure what's controversial about that.
i7 with no hyperthreading, get mugged lol.I did that in December and was hoping that I won't regret it now. Turns out - false alarm.

Someone was trying to convince earlier that 3800x was the way to go, I really couldn't see why at all - its meh to me unless you don't want to o/c at allEveryone ignore the 3800X and either pony up for the beast 3900X or bag the 3700X

You looking at 1% frame times, or average FPS?
I tend to prefer the former, as it’s what’s important for consistency in performance.
Outside of 3 games I have interest in, FarCry, TombRaider, and WWZ, Seems ~5% is the difference given the clock speed difference.
