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

[MG42Maniac]

I work for an American company so can easily get items bought over when staff visit this office. I am tempted to get the 3900X as I am guessing I could get it for less than £400.

Between £392 and £420 depending on the state it is bought in.

I also work for an American company though can’t really ask our guests to buy my gaming equipment for me
I am just hoping they send me there soon so I can get some serious amd shopping done.

Interesting, I can get it in either Florida, New Jersey or North Carolina. I will do some research and wait for benchmarks.

But 9900k 5ghz is not its OC limit and who know what Zen2 is OC limit hmm

Zen 2's IPC is better if AMD are telling the truth so they can get away with lower clock speeds.

You would think so but there will always be a loud minority which will ignore IPC and actual performance screaming "But mah 5Ghz 14nm+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"

Florida probably cheapest. But we are talking a quid here and there.
Wise to await reviews. I'm doing the same.

You get up on the wrong side of the bed?

We know the performance of the 9900K and it's overclocking ability.

We are still waiting for the remaining higher end zen 2 SKUs to be reviewed. With a stock boost up to 4.7Ghz there is a chance they could overclock an additional 2-300Mhz.

What's wrong with you Maybe you need to chill mate.

I get up wrong side ogf bed every day nowadays. And I am on chill pills from doctor still not doing much..

You know what I want to see Max overclock on custom water 9900k vs 3900x. Not Stock not air not some ****** AIO. The unlimited water situation.. I know on good water 9900k will do 5.2 all core. It will be hot with AVX workload abut as long as its stable who cares. Now what can 3900x do with 233wats is the real question.
Better smaller screenshot. Everyone is on about 5.0x8 I'm more of an 5.2 all core person.

Florida will be the easiest as well - win! I've currently got 2 x 2700X and a 9700K system so I want to see a decent improvement across the board before I open my wallet. I am hoping for much better gaming performance.

 

[willhub]

So 3700X doesn't need overclocking it'll perform better at "stock"?

Try exercise. seriously. Run some 5Ks.
Oh, and quit social media.

Hypothetically, if Zen 2 can match that performance at 4.6 GHz all core what does it matter if you can get 5.2 GHz if it performs the same on the AMD at the lower frequency?

If ya dont care about Gaming You should be ion Threadripper not Ryzen. Could have had 16 cores and 128gb of ram years ago. With quad memory channel.

Believe me I've considered it. There is a middle ground though and that is apparent with the anticipation of the 3900X and 3950X

So 3700X doesn't need overclocking it'll perform better at "stock"?

If AMDs opportunistic boosting is as good or better than Zen+ probably. It's been a while now that the X chips provide excellent set and forget performance

I wanted to challenge the 233w claim, but then I saw the vcore.
You got great silicon there. 5.2 on less than 1.3V must be in top 1%.

I think 3900X will beat you in multithreaded benchamrks on default clocks. And will match in everything else as well at 4.7-4.75 all core

not mine its one of OCN user. Purely interested in Gaming benchmarks at this point.

@ltron does not mater can be 1ghz on 50 cores. I want to see benchmarks in games max oc vs max oc thats it. I Know my 3900x wont have easy life with it being used to minte coins 24/7 like my 2700x is and 1700x was

 

[Potatowithearsontheside]

So the 3800X will beat the 9700k by miles in gaming?

I have my 9700K at 5.2GHz all cores when gaming.

I fancy a change

Not sure it is targeted at 9700K owners.
To answer your question though, no it won't beat it by miles in gaming.

Also dont forget there are people like me that buy Binned chips if they are around and 5.2 are around for 589Bucks

If you buy a CPU from the US, wont we get charged custom charges? I ordered a Glorious O from the US and had to pay like £8 when I received it.

Yes.
