At this point you are though, unless you're someone who gets an upgrade every iteration.
My 4790k is 5 years old, hoping my 3700X will last as long
Only in Japan it seems:Any news on the 3800x?
Got an email about my Taichi x570 payment going through. Looks like its true.
Well my order of the cheap X570 Taichi has been confirmed and awaiting picking from the competitor store.
Lots of things seem to be broken it seems, like the windows scheduler could still not be correct as pointed out by 3900x testing when its jumping across CCX's etc, could be a number of things with the BIOS, chipset drivers etc as well, its a proper mess and your right AMD had enough time to get this stuff sorted for a polished launch, but its AMD and we all know how they like to sabotage their own launches lol
That's a bit concerning, I was under the impression it was only the 3950x that would require x570.
Picked up a 3600, X570 Tachi and some 3600 ram.
Must say I’m a little underwhelmed by this launch I was thinking of swapping the 3600 for a 3700x but think I’ll wait until Ryzen 3 and swap then.
Like numerous others on here, still very interested in the performance difference between the 3700X and 3800X. I get the segmentation but the numbers suggest such a small difference between the two for £60 its a bit odd (pointless?). I wonder how much difference that TDP rating will make..
As it stands the 3700X looks like the chip for me, unless reviews suggest the 3800X is a complete beast of course
I've ordered the 3600 and Taichi as well, I felt this offers pretty great vale for money and drop in CPU upgrade options. Got some 8pack 3200 RAM off the MM a little while ago which has been waiting patiently.
The 3600 gaming benchmarks look very impressive and will be a big upgrade on my 3570/3770k system.
Are you confirming that old gen boards will be compatible on release, but in no way optimised for best performance?
From what I've seen on benchmarks, 3700X offers better value for money. I was tempted but the performance you appear to get for the 3600 was just too tempting, if gaming starts pushing 6c/12t for what I play there will be upgrade options in the future.
The "non-tinkerer" premium.Like numerous others on here, still very interested in the performance difference between the 3700X and 3800X.
