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

Your first sentence hits the nail on the head; the 9900K was definitely running at 4.7GHz for a 2040 score.

My 2700X @4.2Ghz all core..

Surely cant be that hard for an 8c/16t Ryzen 3xxx to beat a stock 9900K :)
 
I do agree. Judging by the vega card I think they will price close to Intel. Still excited.
I’d still take 9900k performance for £300 plus lower power draw/temps.

Fingers crossed Amd really put a hurting on Intel and release at previous generation prices.

I can't see them stopping now. Their mantra has been solid performance for a solid affordable price. They will need to really be ahead to dare a change in that mentality otherwise it would be suicide on the spot as they don't have the complete mindshare they need for a such a tactic to work. They are not nvidia after all.
 
Strokes 1080ti- same speed as cutting edge Rad7
Strokes 9900k faster than Zen 2

:D

Shame I wanted AMD to destroy my rig but no cigar!

Could you elaborate on that as i am confused as to how you have come up with this conclusion.

I have a nice 1080ti, i dont stroke it ... thats a bit odd but i am happy it still can go toe to toe with Nvidias latest top end cards... the 2080 which is very expensive and lacks the ram...ohh and doesnt seem to be too stable but hey.
Now i do get the .. vega 2 is a bit meh type part, but lets be honest here - a well priced 16Gb 1080ti/2080 competitor.. maybe even a smidge faster (perhaps) is not... crap. if it is crap then so are the 1080ti and the 2080.. and the ultra expensive 2080ti which is not a massive amount faster than all three of then is also not what i would call a slam dunk either.

As for the 9900k being faster than zen2... i watched the stream, i presume it was the same one you did. i did not see any 9900k being faster rubbish.
Do you mean your 9900k is faster at boiling water than that demo'd zen 2? well it prob is, its prob faster at melting titanium as well..
I did not see a 9900k being faster at cinebench which was the stated demo.

Now you might mean, ohh my 9900k is faster because i have clocked the snot out of it... ok i get it. but then your also up against what is more than likely a lower clocked ES mid range chip on an pre production bios ect... ohh and of course your using the same amount of power as a million "marital aids" on full blast to do it.

I however see a lot of clutching at straws from some regulars.. which never surprises me.
 
RAD 7 is 699
I paid 599 for 1080ti

I paid 499 for 9900k

You have no argument.
Your Z390 cost...?
Your Gsync monitor cost...?
We know that you buy only the most expensive products, hence the £3k guitar and £30k on your recording studio.
You want bleeding edge products regardless of cost, so I get that you're disappointed with there not being any hard facts of 8c+ Ryzen. That's fair enough, but...32c Threadripper...
 
So Computex for final specs of Ryzen?

Thats what im thinking, which is a shame as I was hoping for at least a April release :(

Unless of course they spread out the release of the chips throughout the year, releasing some in April, and some later on
 
It is fine with me he easyrider is only after hard evidence and not the faff to put it mildly.

There is nothing wrong with presumptuous speculation. Things like there being space and traces for a second chiplet on higher ended products.

The problem is easyrider won't have any speculation and won't be satisfied until there is a retail product on the shelves with such.

That and getting embroiled in expressing the virtues of the his bargain bucket rig which, seemingly, single handedly nullifies anything AMD are currently announcing.

Here here well said. Can the Intel fanbois just leave now?

I agree with you as well,

Well glad i went with the am4 motherboard socket i certainly will upgrade to a 3000 series processor.

He could even just opt for Ryzen 9 which will, its pretty safe to say, beat the 9900k quite comfortably... At least in cinebench :p.

All the tribalism aside this is great news and now it’s up to Intel to respond.
 
Maybe. Then again why show all your cards at once and give your rival a chance when you can slowly beat him down and inflict maximum damage over a longer period of time.

If it had been an midrange R5 cpu vs the 9900k it would have been mentioned. It'd be a massive PR result, the fact they didn't means it's more likely to be a directly comparable tier of cpu.
