Link us a game benchmark that proofs that 16gb is not enough.. After windows loads im sitting at 14300 free physical memory. I Think Division 2 barely hits 7000mb@4k from what I'w seen rescently. Monster Hunter World was around 6000mb

According to who? and doing what? Theirs a very informative video on you tube that shows difference between 8gb, 16gb and 32gb in a lot of modern games, from 8gb -16 their was marginal difference and between 16gb to 32 their was zero difference and most games did not come close to using the 16gb

He didn't even mention gaming.

I think 16 is still plenty! its probably still the sweet spot for most people. But I do think within the next couple of years, 32 will become the norm

Yes, 16 GiB is the current sweet spot, just like 6 GiB used to be and then 8 GiB. But we're enthusiasts, aren't we?

The Ryzen 9 3900X flashed up at £479.99 briefly at a major UK retailer before the listing was taken down.

So yeah pretty much the RRP we expected.
I think everyone will follow the price guidance unless there are shortages.

That's pricey. Supposed to be like 390.

I know i wont use the extra cores of the 3900x. But Will the extra "game" cache be of benefit is the real question over the 3800x. I dont mind paying the extra £100 for the double cache and extra 4 cores and threads. But if it makes no difference then the 3800x is the one i am going for

£497.99 is fine i think. My 7940x was £1200, now thats expensive... lulz

Hopefully!

The Ryzen 7 3800X is the model you might be thinking about. The Ryzen 9 3900X is the 12 core model.

Nice, the CH7 had the same BIOs as the previous update on that board so I expect the new AGESA to be updated soon.

Wish we could get some decent leaks on motherboard prices, i want the Asrock X570 Taichi, need to know how much to budget for it.

 

[Nghtmare]

According to who?

He was thinking of 3800X I am sure

 

[Nghtmare]

Reading all this information about them not having a lot of OC potential, if you have a decent board with a nice VRM I don't think it worth going for X570 unless you actually care for PCIE 4.0.

Does give you some mega breathing room though for when that mythical day the 8-core PS5 and Xbox set a new baseline for PC gaming specs.

If that's stock for stock, looks like a massive increase over the 2700x

Ryzen 7 2700X 105W- 16980 Passmark points
Ryzen 7 3700X 65W- 23557 Passmark points

~40% higher score in 62% of the electricity consumption.

As mentioned, he's confusing the 3800X with the 3900X.

If it is running boost clocks, all bets are off vs TDP
