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

[keyser]

Yeah fast as in omg it goes 20% faster than an Ivy Bridge*

*making a point

why the **** is there no more information on how much motherboards are going to be - given the apparent plethora of them that are going to be available surely there must be pricing floating about somewhere - and not from Billy Liar (adoredTV) or is it a super secret asus, gigabyte et al are keeping as a little surprise!?

Probably be on launch day.

 

[Thekwango]

I think aorus side, its about the same price as z390 - maybe £15 more . UK it all depends on the dollar as all hardware is bought in $$$$$$

oh, that sort of pricing i can live with - long as you ain't doing a jim @Adored lol

well that sucks like taking a drink of 3 day old stale dog pee through of a pair of mouldy granny knickers.

 

[easyrider]

I think it’s going to be the 3900x for me...having had a 9900k I feel I need more for the same cost...

I expected to read many things in this thread today. This is not one of those things.

You must have hated every single platform release pretty much because that tends to be the norm lol.

I mean vendors may choose to say their prices but that doesn't always happen.

We're lucky to know the price of these new CPU'S to be honest

I'm not sure that the mouldy granny knickers make that significantly worse than the dog pee was to being with. How old are the knickers?

Im buying what ever is best in gaming. But if it becomes more expensive than the 9900k (heres looking at you 3900x and 3950x) then I'm out.

ha yea fair one - i don't normally pay a huge amount of attention normally to platform releases until a few weeks after actual product launches. sadly this time round i paid a bit more attention - i'll not be doing so again! lol

oh they will make a huge difference.....i'm talking several weeks old, and they are well worn.

a little surprise now and again is a good thing surely

There's a fine line between surprise and trauma!

reading this thread can be traumatic as it is, doubt my mouldy granny knickers would make it much more traumatic. depending on your tastes it might actually be a welcome distraction

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Ha, certainly a niche.... taste

Other than the Auros Xtreme, has anyone seen any mobos sans the extra fan?

So with a 32% uplift at single thread perf in CBR15 with the 3900X that will put the score in and around 2 points off a 9900k but with a wooping increase in multicore perf, using less power? For about the same price.

While having lower clocks as well.

Ryzen 3000 looks very good. Excited to see third party reviews though; some independent testing should shed some light on the actual numbers.

The Asrock Aqua, but I guess that’s cheating lol

Oh yeah, it has a single core boost of 5Ghz compared to the 3900X 4.6Ghz. Very interesting.

If they could have squeezed a 5Ghz single core boost out of it they would be completely run Intel into the ground on all fronts.

With the boards needing active cooling on the chipset I would like to see how the itx boards do it

Do we know what the B550 will be missing vs. the X570 then? Had a brief Google but it doesn't seem like there's much out there yet.

I believe the B550 won't be PCIe4, they'll be PCIe3 to keep the costs down
