36 games tested with a 5GHZ Core i9 9900K against a Ryzen 9 3900X with PBO. A whole 6% difference at 1080p using an RTX2080TI.

Where are all the 3800x reviews...they are in stock now so reviewers must have them....hmmm

Look at the OP - it has one,yes a whole one review!

I think with the consoles using zen 2 and devs starting optimizing for Zen 2 more, AMD are going to rule the gaming scene for a long time to come. Check the patch that came out for strange brigade, the 3900X went from getting smashed by the 9900k to being on par.

you seem to be forgetting intel have even faster chips on the way.

This was an amazing improvement in performance for Ryzen, it went from being one of the worst performing games to one of the better ones. I am very optimistic about future performance, particularly with Ryzen being so popular and it being in the next gen consoles.

And by the time those hit AMD will have faster chips on the way...

AMD is is doing just fine at the moment...they are innovating...I’m happy to support them by buying a 3900x

While intel will still be a 10core

they have a good cpu line once all the issues are out the way. just want em to hurry up so i can decide to get a 3700x or 3900x

dg i have a idea for you Its alittle out there though

i say go for 3900x and this disable 4 cores and then renable them getting the 3900x will give you the best of bolth worlds a 8 core cpu and a 12 core which ever you fancy

Is there a similar comparison available for 2700x v 9900k?

There is a ice cream guy who said he keeps been flooded with requests from influencers to use his product free, so he announced the price for influencers is double the normal cost of the ice cream, brilliant. I so despise the current free products to reviewers/influencers, finally glad a business owner took this stance.

His ice cream is just $4 if I remember right (now $8 for them) and they still wont pay for it, thinking they above paying for stuff.

Too right. Free also makes their reviews suspect, as they will want to keep getting free stuff. This is a huge problem with video games journalism.

Still only one 3800x review? Very odd!

has anyone come up with a way to stop the fan or remove it on the mobo ? how much is it needed ?

Well the fan has a connector like any other fan, you can just unplug it? I dont know if the PC will boot though

DF test the Ryzen 7 3700X:

Even though the Core i7 9700K edged out the Ryzen 7 3700X they recommended the Ryzen 7 3700X still.

I tried looking and didn't see one.

dont matter now max boards are due within a 1 or two. so that should solve the fan issue. :cool:

The lower TDP is starting to appeal to me, although I'm not sure that the performance increase is worth it for gaming.

I have an Asus B450I so it appeals to me too.

Cheers Ctf, my 3900X is in the post so I'll be able to see exactly how fast it is for my exact workflow.

Though these results are both for mass exports of multiple photos at the same time which will generally favour multi core CPU's. I rarely if ever do anything like that so I can not extrapolate those benchmarks to my usage.

You actually have no clue what you are talking about do you, it's just text drivel.

Tell us oh all knowing one, what effect does a few B450 boards coming with a 256Mbit SPI flash have anything to do with fan speeds on an X570 board?
