Congratulations!

This review shows in a nutshell that:
- R5 3600 trades blows with a stock i7-8700K in both gaming (1080p) and productivity
- Slightly ahead on average in productivity, slightly behind on average in 1080p gaming
- As expected, older games favour Intel still, but the gap is much less than Ryzen 2000
- R5 3600 has barely any overclocking headroom, so an overclocked i7-8700K beats it
- R5 3600 has hugely better performance/price ratio, even if you overclocked the i7-8700K
- Ryzen 3000 is still crap at Blender
- i9-9900K is the only stock Intel chip to beat an R5 3600 in 1T Cinebench
- R5 3600 runs kinda hot, hotter than a stock i7-8700K
- R5 3600 uses less power than a stock i7-8700K

Test setup:
- R5 3600 turbo keeps it at 4.05 GHz all-core with a Noctua NH-D14
- 2666 CL14 (4x 8GiB) RAM
- Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming 5 motherboard
- nVidia GTX 1080 Ti
- All core overclock was 4.3 GHz

Disclaimer: I have no idea what Intel security patches were used.

I'd say that was impressive given the sub-par RAM speeds and unoptimised X370 motherboard.

Well 3900x is OOS already at the US site while others are in stock. Not a good sign.

In that link, it says you gonna need to make sure you are using AGESA 1.0.0.3+ for Zen 2.

So I killed an hour with a short bike ride. Just 3 more hours to go.

We will see with the heat. From leaks 3600 at roughly 1.4v with around 70c possibly.

Looks lik reason for stricted NDA and no pre-orders is due to low stock volumes, quite a few places have alreay completely sold out.

That's a workstation board (ECC memory etc) so it's understandable it's quite "muted".

Stock cooler is pretty bad by the sounds of it; reportedly a £5 cooler.
I'd imagine the thermals would be better with a decent cooler.

Only review I've seen so far with thermals was using an NH-D14 and yes, it ran hot.

That doesn't seem to fit with the reported 85% fully functional die yield that is being reported.

Thx but was he using the old or the new agesa?

And 4.05 ghz 1 core or all core? Because the cinebench and game test suggest there is not much difference between 4.05 and overclocken 4.3 ghz

All core. He doesn't mention the BIOS version used but it's gonna be either ComboPI 0.0.7.2 or ComboPI 1.0.0.2 based on the available BIOSs for that board.

Got to give people credit, they sure are quick to come up with new excuses when Ryzen shows, again, that ultimately it is the inferior choice for gaming.

Waiting on the troll comments.

So you made an account just to make that commend?

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Rest of his posts were removed I think.
Just seemed to be baiting and general ignorance.

Makes sense from the point of view of the 3900 as that doesn't use fully functional dies. Maybe the 3600 / 3600x have been prioritised as they're expecting to sell more?
