Was there a reason they skipped the 4xxx name and went straight to 5xxx?

Not likely other than some minor updates from manufacturers.

Roadrunner_668 · 11 Oct 2020 at 16:23

the 8 core is the price of the old 12 core ? surely that makes the old one better value ?

Will you be providing a bios update on motherboards? As I don't have a gene cpu

TheBiznes · 11 Oct 2020 at 16:35

From what i have read most motherboards in retail from August onwards have been pre flashed with AGESA 08 which enables you to boot with the new processors and then apply flash of AGESA 011 thereafter with new processor. So hopefully minimizing the problems that happened before.

A lot of motherboards have flashback features that allow you to update the bios without a CPU.

Again CPU's can be ordered 5pm on 5th November, we also expect to have product on the shelf and I have ordered thousands of CPU's so if our demand is met then supply for OcUK customers should not be an issue.

@Gibbo

Will you be shipping these CPUs (for people who order them quickly) on the 5th? So that they're delivered on Friday 6th? Would be good to have them on Friday so that we can do the upgrade/build over the weekend!

southernorth · 11 Oct 2020 at 18:26

It's going to be tragic when FX fluctuations mean all CPUs will cost +20% more on release day. Or for a similar reason

+1, i really want to pre order one as soon as possible, plz @Gibbo let us pre order

(5950x fo me)

Dicehunter · 11 Oct 2020 at 19:28

Currently got a 3950X but play at 3440x1440P so a CPU wouldn't really change anything, Gonna wait for reviews before I make my mind up.

Wegason · 11 Oct 2020 at 20:22

If that 5800X was cheaper, i'd be bying

Roadrunner_668 · 11 Oct 2020 at 20:29

i was planning on getting one but the fact the old 12 core is the same price is a bit offputting ha ha

No guarantee as warehouse will be hugely busy and it will be after 5pm so can’t promise that.

Other option is choosing Saturday delivery.

I don't know which one I want, I currently have a incredibly quiet system using a NH-U14S. I am swaying between the 5600X and the 5800X, I play at 1440p...

If your main use is gaming and you play at 1440p then go for Zen 2 and save a wad of cash as it wont make any difference for gaming at that res. put the cash saved into another another area of your PC that will make a difference to performance or QoL.

Andromeda1983 · 11 Oct 2020 at 23:08

I don't mind paying the extra for Zen 3, it's a treat to myself as i've had a bad year (coronavirus not included in that), like finding out that by age 45 i'll be in a wheelchair cause of back problems. So I to splurge on myself.

I even bought this as prep
