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

Tempted to try a 3800x on my CH6, not sure i want the 3900x as i only game so no use for the extra cores, still want to see what the actual difference in performance between the 3700x and 3800x is, hoping that the 3800x can maybe boost higher perhaps?
 
Is there any point in 3800x over 3700x?

And 130 for a 3900x, hmmm wonder if it's a risk to go with a 3900x in my B350F Strix

3900X will be the better silicon no doubt.

If that AMD PBO video is anything to go by, we'll probably see a MAX boost on the 3800X of 4.7GHz as opposed to 4.6GHz on the 3700X - providing temps are fine.

Same, I am hoping due to the higher base (300), higher boost (100) and higher TDP, that it actually has better OC or PBO potential. Some say is a less efficient 3700X but I don't think its right. Why would a company grab a better binned, and efficient CPU, clock it lower, and sell it cheaper? It does not make a lot of sense to me.
 
Guideline is £189, we are £188.99 Inc VAT and forum members get FREE shipping and I am not supposed to release pricing even though the USD is known, but AMD can get annoyed and we like AMD so don't ask for any more pricing. :)

3600(?) pricing lads.
