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

[jigger]

It's called value for money.
That last ten or twenty percent is often for suckers.

Not the last 50%? You could say a Athlon chip is the best bang for buck.

One 3600 review up. Looks like a cracking chip.

Linky?

 

[Wingz]

3700X

 

[Grim5]

Means nothing to me. How much is a weeks pay?

The point is the price is nearly double what I can get the current gen stuff for and yet it’s just at best a 30% performance gain.

This is on par with Nvidias RTX 2080ti price - double for 30%

As for pay - the current average salary after tax is $780 per week

Are you implying that 95% or so of forum members are suckers? Sounds about right to me.

While i'll agree the new stuff is more expensive than the current cpu thats also because lots of places doing sales on the 2000 series to get rid of them which skews the results some. Nothing stopping you buying a new 3000 series cpu and a older board to get the best of both worlds cost/performance wise.

Why is the 8700k locked to 4.3ghz lol?

 

[mcast]

So a 3600X beats a 9700K, wonder if any beat the 9900K

 

[Grim5]

Why is the 8700k locked to 4.3ghz lol?

Only reason to do that is to test clock vs clock ipc. But it’s a pointless test because no one in reality runs a 8700k locked to 4.3

 

[AMDFusion]

I thought that is the all core boost of i7 8700k? No?

 

[TrM]

4.7ghz is boost clock on 8700k

Only reason to do that is to test clock vs clock ipc. But it’s a pointless test because no one in reality runs a 8700k locked to 4.3

i bet people do run the very hot 8700k at 4.3ghz bad itx cases and low profile cpu coolers and full builds with bad coolers cant tame the 8700k beast at 4.7ghz

 

[Kashinoda]

4.7ghz is boost clock on 8700k

4.3 is the all core boost of that chip.

 

[Orange Nexus]

400+ in CSGO. Ryzen is now for 1080P.

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

Ryzen shine guys, time to show us the reviews.

[Potatowithearsontheside]

4.3 is the all core boost of that chip.

They also showed single thread benchmark results at that clock. That of itself is particularly misleading.
