Who is looking at just the 3600 and 3600x?

I doubt most of us can afford the price premium of the more expensive chips. £400 for a 3800x and intel equivalent sounds a bit rich.

When did processors start costing this much ? I’m sure once we spent £150 for core i5’s and £250 for core i7 flagships. What happened ?

@humbug remember week or so ago when I said them cpus will eat loads of power ?? If this takes 245w @4.1 in CINEBENCH you are looking at 320w in IBT :D at damn 4.1. Vcore is 0.03v higher than my daily one.
SoC needs more Vcore I see. Atm I'm sitting at 1.025 here its at 1.2.
Not sure about Cooling but its 82c so thats More than I got at around same watts by 8c

you'll be fine, guessing your heading to x570 rog formula ? 12 phases 50 amps i think, not done as much with asus these days

@humbug decided to check whats the power draw difference to see how much less CB15 takes. Well its around 162 watts vs 225 on my settings atm Them all core overclocks will be interesting. What sort of Volts will 12 core need to push 4.5ghz all core DAMN

@orbitalwalsh im not worried about power delivery. More about amount of heat to cool down !!! VRM's on this motherboard can do 400watts if i remember. They barely get to 65c when pushing 230 atm.

Pretty mad that the gaming world is buzzing with excitement. For the fact that. AMD just matched a cpu already on the market from intel. For around the same price.

I dissapoint.

Well it’s £100 cheaper ....3800x v 9900k but it’s not making me moist :p

£170 cheaper if you get the 3700X

Have to look at it, can that £100-170 be put towards a better GPU chip - if start new core build. and then cooling it down - though i have a feeling 12 core OC is a 360 clc/ dark rock Pro job like i9

makes me wonder what would happen if Zen 2 was built on Intel's 10nm fab....
