10% average seems low looking at that videos fps numbers (16%, 11%, 14%, 19%, 10%, 19%. 21% are some of the uplifts), but even so that would be entirely for gaming. The jump for productivity seemed way in excess of 50% increased performance. If you only care about gaming why would you go for a 3900x tbh, the extra cores for productivity are naturally going to have a lower single core performance which is what games mostly care about.

Already seen it £42 for dual core 4 threads. Need to find where I saw it now.
The little known Ryzen 5 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X were released in September 2018.

I think it's quite likely we will see a repeat of that this year with the 3000 series.
It would make a nice upgrade from an i5 4440

Nah its just Sunday between so Saturday would arrive in UK and nothing happens till Monday morning. In fact knowing UK customs/arrival Saturday then it likely at docks saturday and only arriving at hubs on Monday fro Tuesday delivery. At least from my import experience over the years.

A 3500x + a AIB ITX 5700 would make a nifty Lan box.The little known Ryzen 5 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X were released in September 2018.

Maybe take a look at the lows. Actually don’t it’s pretty sad reading.
Ouch. That’s disappointing.

I'm wondering if I should cancel my 3800x order?
A gaming specific upgrade form a 2700x.
What you guys reckon? I'm of the opinion that minimums will be up as well as average and highs.
After I sell the 2700x for say £180 that means the upgrade costs me £200.

I’ve got a couple of very cheap Skylake i7 rigs in the MM.
Might be better off with more GPU instead.

I was hoping they would arrive Wed/Thurs, before it gets too bad. Remember when they had their stupid dangerous bonfire removed (by court judgement) last year they burnt out a bus? Criminal they can get away with it. If it wasn't such a nice place to be most of the year I'd be out like a shot.

Well that's my decision finally made. Keep the 4790k for a little longer. Might delid it so I have something to play with...

Ideally I'm trying to wait for April (CyberPunk)

Bah times ticking gone 2pm and still no signs of cpu's? 
Terrible benchmarks those, he uses a GTX 1080 for most of the video and randomly switches up to a 2080TI and 2080 at the end, but only at 1440p and 4k. GPU bottlenecked all over the show.
Basically has no credence what so ever.
That said if you only game and absolutely nothing else there's no reason to upgrade from a 4790k regardless of platform. Much like the 2700K it just has incredible legs and games simply don't need more. If you're chasing that 240hz dream then by all means get something like a 9900k.
I'm on a 4790k and can't wait to be rid of just having 4 cores.
We likely won't get them this week let alone today I thinkBah times ticking gone 2pm and still no signs of cpu's?
