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

[Curlyriff]

Plus 14% puts 3800x just above the 8700K @103.39

Yeah and just below the 9900k at stock by what 3fps or 11% for it at 5.0GHz assuming you didn't clock the Ryzen at all still. It isn't a lot between them really. Certainly wont be noticeable for anyone using a 60hz monitor.

GTAV is the worst possible case scenario for Ryzen. It's AMD's worst performing title compared to Intel. So not really very fair to choose that is it?

And if you check closely, they ran the FlareX at 2933 in Nov 2018. I had my Flares running at 3200 Cl14 back in Sept 2017.

Definitely going to wait for reviews. I think the edge has been taken off the excitement a little!

Really can't wait for 7/7 so can finally see some proper comparisons and see how well Zen2 overclocks. Until then its almost meaningles discussing all this.

Myself personally, I just built my PC with a 2600 thats been OC'd to 4.1/4.2. So I dont really see much point upgrading atm, Im more likely to be upgrading for the 4000 or 5000 series

Pretty sure people can pick plenty other games that are worse for AMD.

So long as you check carefully how they do test setups and not just look at results.

Hell i saw one reviewer oc the ram to 3333MHz. Cl 20, though. But, none of these may apply to R3K

GTAV has been consistently bad on AMD chips though, even when other games show far less delta

The reviews and especially real life owners comments will provide a lot more useful information.

So many of you guys are going to be disappointed when it doesn't beat a 8700k nevermind a 9900k.
Willing to eat my words of course but not holding my breath.

for me, it's not so much the edge has been taken off the excitement it's all the bullpoopery being posted and spouted. the 'leaks' which were often than not nothing more than 'back of a fag packet maths' dressed up as insider information. all that glorified lying is what is dampening the excitement currently.
i joked quite a while back that this thread should locked until more concrete information was available as it was just turning into an echo chamber. turns out the limited info released has only managed to further increase the guesses/lies/leaks/bs being thrown round. personally i'd just close this thread now till cpus released or impartial, full/wide ranging user benchmarks are released. this thread is fast just becoming a breeding ground for inaccuracies. good craic to be had in it though!

Im shooting for the 12 core and doubt i'I'll be disappointed. I use my system for work.

 

[pcfarrar]

I'm going to upgrade my 2700x to the 3700x just for the 65W TDP.

for me to get the 3900x it will need to come very close to the 9900K in gaming, 3%.....

I think it has a chance of beating the 8700K but not by much....

 

[awaybreaktoday]

Also depending on motherboard cost 9900K could be cheaper.....

This is the problem with amd and its fans. Products get hyped to the moon and when they dont meet expectations people **** them off.
