AMD RYZEN 5000 SERIES 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X NOW ONLINE AT OcUK!!

[Shaolin Chicken]

I think the price increase on OCUK for the 5950x is to do with stock shortage of that cpu.

Yeah and so far the benchmarks coming out are backing up AMD's claims

yeah.. but its a bit suspicious that is just productivity.. no proper gaming leaks

I have a feeling they will still be behind overclocked Intel in gaming which if that turns out to be the case they might end up being as far behind as zen 2 currently are to comet lake when rocket lake releases.

 

[Chaos666]

that is what i was thinking .. but many people still do not overclock.. so for majority it will not be a convincing argument

Maybe but these will still likely be behind stock rocket lake in games.

 

[Chaos666]

we will see.. i think ryzen 3000 performance was good enough.. now its going to be on par or better stock.. what more do you need

Yeah with the 5950X hitting 5GHz boost pretty easy it seems, i doubt that

Well considering it's taken AMD a 30% IPC advantage 5ghz and 8 core CCXs with unified cache just to beat intels 5 year old arch by around 5% according to most of the titles that AMD showed off then it's a good chance that rocket lake will retake the gaming lead in 3 months and I hope they do as I want a Zen 3 chip upgrade at a reasonable price and not Intel prices.

When will this item be available to order? I have obviously missed the pre-order.

There has been no pre-orders yet?

im wondering what the clock speed will be on all cores,we know intel can hold 5ghz on all cores easily.

Weaker cores though.

I've not been using AMD for years (last was Opteron) so am wondering if Overclockers will be offering the bios flash service to motherboards for those like myself wanting one for the 5000 series of cpu's??

Most of the boards now come with a bios flashback feature which enables you to update the bios without a CPU being installed so if in doubt just pick a board that has this feature.

 

[malccy]

Do the newest boards not have a bios ready for the 5000 series of cpu's?

Thanks for replying Joxeon.

Depends on when the stock was bought. I’d assume the newly produced ones will have the latest bios - given that from production to retail is a couple weeks, and bios updates have only just started going out, I doubt any boards will be up-to-date before the 5th when the chips release.

The usb flash is pretty straightforward.

 

[malccy]

Okay, shall hold out until release of new cpu's and see what deals are available. Thanks again.

None of the above, but exchange rate currency fluctuations will be present for pricing.

after what amd showed recently it is definitely the case
