Poll: What Ryzen 3000 Series did you buy?

[rallyslag]

3600x at the moment. Got an x570 taichi so can upgrade at any time when needed.

It does seem to sell quite well all over the place, it explains why it's out of stock frequently.

I have to say i'm a little surprised at that, i would have thought the best sellers would be, like they are with Ryzen 2000 the 6 core SKUs, the 3600. i bet its a lot of lower level workstation guys salivating at them.

When the original TR was released an AMD rep said they found it was the highest core count cpu that sold the most not the affordable end.

The price was clearly not a problem compared to the alternatives.

There's definitely a market for cores and AMD is the name if you want ALL THE CORES in a desktop. May also be relevant that the 12 core 3900x does appear to be an upgrade to the original 16 core TR.

Technically 3800x then a 3700x. Switched when it looked like the 3800x wasn't going to materialise...

I bought the 3600 which should do just fine for gaming. I've not used it yet though as the AM4 bracket kit for my Alpenfohn Matterhorn cooler doesn't seem to fit very well.

I moved the 3700x on and finally got my 3900x delivered after ordering it in July

 

[Tagman]

3800x for me.

 

[Infiniteey]

Ordering the 3700X soon. Going to be a worth upgrade from a i5 4590

 

[AWPC]

3700X for gaming only as I already have another mega system with a 1920X do not really need to pay extra for the 3800X or 3900X at this time. Very little software uses the 1920X 24 cores

3900X for me from a 4770K which I’ve had for 6 years!! Hoping this chip will last me as long!! 32gb Ram too!

 

[starmanwarz]

Just ordered a 3700X to replace my 4770K! Hopefully there will be a noticeable boost

 

[TNA]

3600

 

[TrM]

It’s interesting that that the cpu that is out of stock so much and very little of it and over 100 pounds more then release price. Is the most brought on this poll

 

[Troezar]

I bought a 3700X, good value for an 8C 16T CPU. Will upgrade to the most powerful AM4 at a later date.

 

[Meridiusuk]

would like a 3900x but none in stock or the ones that are in stock are overpriced so still waiting, its just been 8 weeks but never mind. might see what the price of the 3950x will be as it looks like the 3900x will be in stock when they come out.

Never built a amd system and at this rate i might not be

 

[LoadsaMoney]

3700X

Was going to get the 38, but hardly any difference between when gaming.

Was going to get the 38, but hardly any difference between when gaming.

Can say the same and get 3600 like I did

Nice to finally have more than 4 cores without spending silly money.

 

[ltron]

I am delighted with my 3900X, this CPU is immensely good!

 

[Toasty]

Bought a 3900X but sold it waiting on 3950X

 

[Rainmaker]

Still waiting for the 3950x + Gigabyte Xtreme, though at that point I start to wonder whether the upcoming TR plus a not-too-expensive motherboard might end up not much difference, for more lanes and performance...

I went with a 3600 but a higher end X570 board (Asus strix E) so that I can drop in a higher end 4000 series chip when their prices start dropping.
My previous system lasted me around 9 years so be as well get the latest chip for the socket.
