Is that definite? Only asking as guru3d running the story as well. https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/r...lower-consumption-and-lower-temperatures.html

look at the cpuz screenshot in the article. its not a 5900x.
here is product info page. all these review sites are clueless.

its a totally different sku.

I think you'll be lucky to see it under £450, personally I'm thinking it will be £500+ and be produced very small quantities so will carry a limited edition price tag.

Well, if they overprice it enough, they needn't bother making a lot of them.

AMD are shifting everything from 7nm to 6nm, Ryzen 5000 CPU's, Consoles, GPU's, the lot....

There is a 6nm RX 6950XT coming, its clocked significantly higher than the 7nm RX 6900XT.

6nm is better than 7nm, its a different node, its stands to reason power consumption is down and possibly higher clocks.

Makes sense to spread production over a few nodes especially when looking at stacking chips. I would like to see a range of lower power parts too.

Have you got a source Humbug - just fancy doing a bit of reading.

Moore's Law is Dead Youtube, not all in the same video, the one about the 6950XT is in this one.

5800x available for £320 pretty much everywhere at the moment, including OCUK. Makes me wonder if something is coming sooner rather than later....

Journey · 28 Jan 2022 at 19:35

Prices are between <£290 and up to £336, so quite a wide range at the moment. X3D isn't going to be 60%+ more expensive, like some people are hoping.

My thoughts as well, clearing out the stock. 5800X was £400 at OCUK just last week.

I really want to buy the 5800X (upgrade from 3600XT) but want B2 stepping. And I don't think its possible to check before purchase.

Found this, not sure if legit: HXL on Twitter: "5900X B2 2143 B0 VMR Microcode 0A201016h B2 VMR Microcode 0A201204h https://t.co/7wYDBtkmh1" / Twitter

AMD ****ers are gonna try it on with this chip am sure, £600+

g67575 · 29 Jan 2022 at 21:12

Well they need to compete with CPUs like the 12400 and 12700. 12400f is around £160-£170. 12700f is £310-£320. So, realistically, anything above £400 would be a rip off. It's quite possible though, if they can't produce enough, just like with the 5800X.

Cheapo H610 LGA1700 (DDR4) motherboards are around £80 now, so, not much reason for people to avoid considering changing over to Intel, especially with a Raptor Lake upgrade being a very likely option later.

If it's £500-£600 that's 12900 / 12900K pricing territory...

JediFragger · 29 Jan 2022 at 21:26

Limited Edition though, and tbf they'll sell every one they make even at £600ish.

"Changing over to Intel" ? from what?

g67575 · 29 Jan 2022 at 21:28

From an AMD system. It might actually be cheaper just to buy a cheap Intel LGA 1700 board if people are looking for an upgrade from Zen 3 or older CPUs. At least, compared to upgrading to a 5800X3D CPU.

What, like me?

g67575 · 29 Jan 2022 at 21:32

It depends if you want to wait for Zen 4 or not. I will be myself (if I think games and software really benefit, that is).

The question was should i change my AMD system to an Intel one. why would i do that?

g67575 · 29 Jan 2022 at 21:37

Donno, you'll have to think about that yourself I'm afraid
