3800x thread.

Sorry if this seems unnecessary but it takes so long to pour through page after page after page in the main ryzen thread every time I login looking for specific information regarding the 3800x, as there is very little on Google.

So thoughtw could have somewhere for info specific to the 3800x in one place.

Who has one?
Reviews?
When is it available?
Why is it so late?
Does it even exist?

Why did AMD deliberately hold it back? There must be a reason. They must have thought it would hurt sales of the 3700x, 3900x, or both.

Not sure its been held back, Here in NZ its been available from launch day just wasnt sent to reviewers and uk stores it seems

Are you sure? There isn't a single review on YouTube or the internet regarding the 3800x. Surely there would be a NZ one if that were the case.

3800x review. Sadly doesn't compare it with any other Ryzen.

Read the reviews, they all call it a 3700x.

what reviews?

Level1Techs said he has one and he thinks it is worth the extra money. Waiting for his video to come out to see what's up.

I just want to see it vs the 3900x in gaming.

3800X is the 3700x with better factory stock & boost , not sure if they can do better manual OC,
but I what I seen , all CPUs go to 4.2, 43 or less depending the silicon lotto
.

I just can help but think there is more to it than that. Or it's significantly better than the 3700x. Otherwise why deliberately hold it back?

Read a review of it. Conclusion was you can be better of with basic OC of 3700x

Every review I have read has said better off no bothering to OC Ryzen 3000 at all!

P.S. Welcome to the forum.

Link? Or just another post and run bait?

Edit:
Toms has a review
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-7-3800x-review,6226.html

It's sad as it is such a legendary site.
But I stopped reading Tom's Hardware after their "just buy it" Nvidia Turing shambles "review"
