Hey guys, a few new infos!!
http://www.redgamingtech.com/exclusive-ryzen-3000-navi-release-date-specs-intel-comet-lake/
He says July 7th, because of "7nm"... We will see! On the other hand, it is a Sunday?! Anyway... I can't wait!!!
... And I would buy the anniversary one - ryzen 9 3850X. If they won't release it in July, I will buy the one with the highest clock speed and at with least 12 cores

I do wonder how many of the early Ryzen adopters end up switching boards anyway even though part of the appeal was a board to last them through AM4.
Same, especially if going to a new 12/16core, I'd love to see how my VRMs cope with 12core and 5ghz lol
I have a CH6 and 1700 with a Vega 64 but I'm buying a complete new rig, possibly even GPU if Navi atleast matches the Vega 64, will give my current build to my boys as their first PC.
Probably going with a Taichi motherboard and hopefully the 16c if it's as fast as the 8c version.

Lol, funny you mention this. My mate was super hyped for the Ryzen and upgrade path it offered so bought the 1700x on day one and a really **** B350 budget board... Then got a 2700x and another cheap board (MSI mid tier B450) and is now looking at B550 and 16 core... Not sure he's gone about this the most sensible way!
I bought x370 taichi with 1600x and plan to use that board all the way through am4. Its one of the reasons I switched to AMD purely because I don't want to fork out for a new board every cpu upgrade

I will wait and see on the compatibility and performance, I am assuming my ch6 will be fine but may not have some of the enhanced features if they come up with anything new.
It depends on the board manufacturer if they add bios support.
Unless anything specific it should work down the line for most new ryzen 2 cpu.
I sit on a b350 board and are planning to upgrade to a x570 once the boards mature.
I usually wait 2 generations before I go expensive boards so kinks had a chance to be worked out.
If the new cpu works on my board I can wait with the Mboard buy.
its 2 years old so I find out.
I will certainly be buying a 3850X and dropping it into my CH6. Depending on how well it performs and clocks in the CH6 compared to others results in an x570 will determine if i sell the CH6 and buy an x570.
I'm minded to think that i will end up with an x570 for a number of reasons, the most important one being bios support for my CH6. Asus, like other mobo manufactures have a habit of doing the bare minimum bios support for older boards. Another reason is that i can still sell the CH6 while it's still worth something, leaving it much longer it will probably be worthless.

If just gaming then 32gb is not worth it - but if playing with VMs or creating content / Dev work then it can really help
Depends on the type of adopter IMO, people who know the difference and what a clockspeed is will probably buy new boards simply for the extra features and potentially increased power deliver, people who don't will probably just buy a new CPU with more cores and be happy with what they've got. I think there's probably fewer of the latter though as typically their not early adopters.
Yes, going to be a while before 32gb is recommended for gaming.
It's probably already been said but i don't fancy going through 223 pages.
I hope motherboard makers up their game with the 5 series boards, i understand the first AM4 boards being a bit naff as they didn't know if it was going anywhere, and i understand that the focus was on ATX boards with the second round, but i really hope mATX & ITX gets some love this time around, Intel boards have a great selection when it comes to mATX & ITX but having looked through smaller AM4 board recently was really disappointing.
Is it to much to ask for a smaller board with decent power delivery that puts substance over style? It's almost like motherboard makers have forgotten that enthusiasts often prefer substance over style, i can understand that to some extent as over the years they've had to rely on style to sell boards as with Intel we didn't really have any significant changes from one revision to the next so they had to come up with things to tempt people into upgrading like RGB, integrated I/O shields, lumps of plastic covering heatsink, etc, etc.
However for the fist time in almost a decade I'm actually enthusing over hardware again and i want to buy hardware with substance like efficient high grade power delivery, proper heatsinks, feature rich BIOS settings.
/Rant.

You just missed out on 4454 posts of mostly arguing and rubbish. With the occasional rumour or very rarely a fact thrown in for good measure.It's probably already been said but i don't fancy going through 223 pages.
As someone who has read all of them and forgotten most, I demand you go through this trial by fire and read until your eyes bleed!
