3700x vs 3800x

[Smffy]

I wonder if you are right now... But wrong when they improve the microcode and bios.....

It’s not really true now either, I mean you are approaching it with regards to overclocking it then really the 3800X is the choice. Yes it’s not huge percentages this is what overclocking is about, it’s also more likely to have better IMC and FCLk.

I can’t see why anyone is angry at that really given Ryzen has always been that way. Don’t get me wrong if you want value then of course 3700X but if you want the best chance of clicking including memory then the £100 isn’t the worst deal ever...

I was going to get the 3800x, but after reading reviews, i decided to get the 3700x instead.

Yeah this is what im waiting for as well tbh, by all means I want the bios updates to show that there is actually a worthy enough difference to actually contemplate getting a 3800x over a 3700x, but at the moment I think its far from it.

It seems very odd. I was about to place my order for collection tomorrow but the 3700x has gone back to RRP. So I have an excuse to think for a while.

I'm also assuming I can oc well on the b450 tomahawk

With all the binning of parts I guess the chance getting one that overclocks well is not very likely?

True. Amd are binning for us. Saves 8pack doing it...

Already that much difference! On release the difference was only £60; £319 for 3700X and £379 for 3800X

How are you finding it moving from the 5930 to the 3700X?

Finding it fine, AMD are definitely back in the CPU game

Looks like a great CPU. One I'm keeping an eye on.

Can you expand on that, fps Increases or general use ability?
