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

Meanwhile after 873 pages of speculations, we've only got another day to go...

What's shocking, as far as I'm concerned, is that we barely got any substantial leak, considering how many people must be playing with the new CPUs as we speak.

Did I imagine it or is the review embargo a few days after launch? Could be most people haven't had cpus to test until pretty recently..

Anyone know of the GB X370 Gaming K5 will run the 12 core part at stock ?

Just updated to the BIOS for Zen2 support and got a reminder of how annoying zen1 (1700) is with Hynix ram, can't for the life of me get anything better than 2667mhz now :/ (was at 2933 before)
see above table, think it's been updated but I can't find the post on here. looks like it's a 'maybe' for the K5

According to the table the K5 is a yes for a 3900x at stock and a "maybe" for OC. Confused me initially until I worked out the rows at the top (had a mental blank).

Going to plonk the 3900x into the X370 Gaming 3 I currently have, whilst letting the dust settle on the X570 launch (Chart has the same result as the K5 and I am not expecting it to overclock). Might end up with a "high end" X470 depending on pricing.
 
There are far better single thread testers than super pi now yes.
but do they have score of my old overclocked phenom [email protected] My 2500k my 5820k my 1700x??? If my hdd not burnt down years ago i would still have My celeron300@450 scores my Duron 700 and my athlon Xp :/

I could not care less what any reviewer will show and say. I temst My rig progression over years. I got loads of spare time to run benchmarks while im doing my daily workouts.
Besides that most of Overclocking reviews are plain pathetic.

So because you used it before you have to keep using it forever? I mean I don't care how much faster my 1700 is than my old Northwood P4, I can visibly see they're not even comparable.

Yup So I can see how hardware architectures ect is progressing forward over years. And its not only Super Pi I use from old days. Iw been building and overclocking PC's since I turned 13 and build my first 256sx. Kinda miss playing with Jumpers and IRQ ports ect :/ Fun days back in 90s
 
Its kinda reason i love watching what @8 Pack posts. Why Would He or me care what some reviewer from wherever says when We can test stuff ourvelfs and have fun while doing it ??
Always cool to exchange views findings ect like we do allot on OCN forums. Sometimes someone finds a tweek that no one else would figure out. How many times we asked Asus about given bios option just to hear WE DONT KNOW as reply and then testing starts.
Amd sends those microcodes to board vendors and loads of times no one could tell what new options are actually doing and what effect do they have on score and stability.
TESTS TESTS TESTS :)


Footage of something burnign like in my mates RIP PC

So You say its useless as one of tools to compare progress of 2700x vs 3900x ??? Interesting

Yes, because you're testing only SSE2 instruction throughput, if you're using the newer version. You can do that with the CPU-Z benchmark as well, but that's all it will ever test.

You'll find SSE2 in every processor since the very first Pentium 4 in 2000 (Athlon 64 for AMD). While I can understand the appeal, in order for the newer processors to be allowed to truly show what they're capable of, you need benchmarks that keep up with the times.
 
You could use SuperPi as a point of comparison but it's like testing a supercar against a family hatchback by seeing which is faster over 10 metres.

You'll get some data but of what worth is it?

but I dont have my old rigs to run new benchmarks do I ?? Anyone here got Phenom [email protected] to run CPU-Z ??

It's pointless like all data from benchmarks init ?? Not like its Real use scenario

Well no... As some benchmarks are designed to simulate realistic work loads. Such as cinebench and creative workload power.

Other than curiosity SuperPi is an irrelevant benchmark on today's hardware and work loads. Which is what people have been trying to explain to you.

Cinebench simulates Cinema 4D workload that is almost not used :D
y-cruncher is much more usefull. Or asus Realbench Aida test
 
It's not the specific application that is of the interest but the work load profile which can be applied to other uses.
Well Super Pi can simulate crappy 1 core engine of World of Warcraft . It's as old as WoW
Shame that Cyberlik Power director that ui use almost weekly to render for 30 hours over weekend has no benchmark option so I need 2 Benchmark that myself. Rendering time vs Rendering time.

Finally found case i like ;)
