AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

Ok, here is your quote from the 9900K thread

Clear as mud if you meant retailers were ripping you off, and you were happy with a £499 price tag.

Yeah 9900k at £600 was a joke...regardless of Intel or retailers....I was not paying £600 plus for one.

£499 was fine, £200 more than the 2700x and 5ghz all cores was enough incentive to buy one.

Plus I needed faster memory with Ryzen at a cost of nearly £200 to get the most out of it...Were I bought a 110 quid kit for 9900k so it worked out around 100 more to get the 9900k and cheaper ram.

This clear enough?

I was only quoting what you said, which was Intel was taking the pee. No need to justify yourself to me I don't care what you buy, it is slightly annoying when people say one thing then do another, then start praising the thing they were ripping on. Oh, you forgot to include the cost of the cooler and fans you added to your 9900K, what was that £200? ;)

Having never kept an eye on a new CPU launch before, does anyone know if we can expect prices on the Ryzen 2xxx series and its associated hardware to fall shortly after CES, or is there likely to be no difference until the Ryzen 3xxx hits the market?

There won't be any changes until Ryzen 3K is physically available to buy, and even then I doubt we'll see significant price drops so quickly. Even now we didn't see the Ryzen 1Ks drop in price too far in the face of their successors.

Has there been any indication how likely some of these will run on a CH6 (or any decent X370)?

AMD are supporting AM4 until 2020 so with a BIOS update you should be able to just drop in a Ryzen 3000. Plus, all but the leaked Ryzen 9s have TDPs the same as the 1st generation Ryzens, so if a Crosshair 6 can support an overclocked 1700X I'd be pretty confident it could run an overclocked 3700X. Decent VRM setup could probably run the 16 core Ryzen 9s too, but there was chatter that they'd "need" X570 boards.
 
Thanks! Yeah it's the VRM issue I am interested in though have no idea what my CH6 has :o:p. That's why I got a decent X370 so presume I am good for 65-95W TDP SKUs.

I've got a X370 taichi so i'm going to try a 3000 series in that. It was the whole point in going AM4, so I don't need a new motherboard if I upgrade my CPU, and thus save some money

Looks good, Amd seem to have their act together, if above holds true it shows some light as to what the ryzen 3000 series processors are capable of.

So if above is true then think about what the desktop processor will be capable of, for instance the 8 series intel processor being beaten by a ryzen 3000 series processor to say it bluntly.

Seems to be a big day for amd, i roughly predict many more people will choose the ryzen 3000 series processors over intel if above holds true.

No more picking intel processors due to single thread/ipc (instructions per clock) but anyways more information about that later on in the year.

Seems going with amd due to them supporting am4 motherboard socket until 2020 really would have paid off, especially what the graph above is telling us.

So yeah this is good news for us amd am4 motherboard owners, apparently you can get a 3600x for £180 so yea 180 quid due to what the rumors are saying > https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/amd-ryzen-3rd-generation with performance higher than the intel i7 8000 series so it seems it will hit the 9000 series territory, if that is the case then going amd ever since has saved me quite a lot of money for the performance you get.

Judging from the graph above.

So yea all will become clear later on this year also take my post here with a pinch of salt again.
