AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

[Relentless81]

Oh god my wallet is bricking it

 

[easyrider]

The 2s previews didn't help sell it tbh

Its performance per dollar....that’s what counts....you don’t know the cost yet...

60 fps with a 750$ cpu, hmm not so impressed

She actually says "over 60 frames per second at 4K" and it's on the 5900X, which is the $549 CPU.

Quick Google on gears 5 and borderlands benchmarks shows it 10ish percent slower

 

[NinjaCool]

So after 10 years AMD is now at the top again!

 

[Steampunk]

640 Cinebench... it's a ******* 6Ghz 9900k...

Don't know why they didn't do benchmarks for the 5800x but the 449 was expected.

And that was single thread only. It's got a load more cores than Intel can supply at those price points.

 

[Ezyryder]

Just did a quick check.

Bordelands 4k 3080 - 65fps (10900k)
Borderlands 4k 6900 - 61fps (5900X)

Gears 5 4k 3080 - 80fps (10900k)
Gears 5 4k 6900 - 73fps (5900X)

Really liking the 5950X..... will be interesting seeing reviews and further benchmarks before release......

 

[pugheaven]

Amazing to notice nVidia cards being used, not even a 5700xt lol... and they daren't show 6000 series.

AMD have really good pricing!!

is is tho? the 3700x successor is now £400

 

[Biscottoman]

They didn't talk about x570 refresh :/

 

[Boomstick777]

is is tho? the 3700x successor is now £400

5700X will come later ? That's the 5800X your talking about ..

 

[Tutan]

5700X will come later ? That's the 5800X your talking about ..

well the cheapest 8 core CPU..£400 doesnt sound like good pricing

I think "old tat" is a bit of an exaggeration.

Yeah, I was exaggerating a wee bit

What would be the negative impact of PCIe retimers...How would you know the retimers have been removed, is something we can check or are we reliant on Asus posting a blog?

Cost, they're expensive. As for knowing if they're used or not, that's an engineering thing us Joe Public would probably have access to. I believe reviews of the TRX40 boards did discuss how the use of retimers was eliminated, so I'm just theorising that re-engineering done would translate to X570 refreshes. Maybe reviews of the new boards will highlight this. Certainly I'm expecting talk in reviews about why the PCH no longer needs a fan (assuming what Asus did with teh Dark Hero does translate across all vendors).

Maybe it's made using 7nm now so is more power efficient?

If it is an Asmedia design then it'll use whatever they use. If AMD still make it then GloFo 12nm maybe? Or TSMC 12nm?

I suppose there's potential for the 1080p advantage over Intel to be slightly higher with a 3080 as the bottleneck shifts to CPU even more than GPU? I don't know, mighty impressive either way.

 

[opethdisciple]

I don't think there is one.

its the same as the 3800 so just replacing the old gen. its nice to see proper amd cpus coming out. not just near enough.

 

[GregI]

GN video states the memory controller is the same and so will FCLK speeds: https://youtu.be/n-AanO3Axzk?t=785

3600 RAM still the best. Kind of disappointed in that but meh.

Also wtf... he says B450 boards aren't getting support till January 2021.

The cheapest currently. You do realize there will be 5700x eventually and its price u could than directly compare
