AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

The 3300x is an interesting chip because of its layout, the next 8 core zen3 chip should benefit similarly i would think.
A high (i recon 5ghz is on the table this time) clocked 8 core chip will be a gamers go to.

I guess it will help all-core overclock. Or per-CCX overclock.
Give more juice to crappy cores. Or lower clock and voltage to crappy CCX

Yeah, it gets the most out of individual cores relative to their characteristics, this instead of treating all cores the same with the worst core being the yard stick for the whole CPU.

Really? It'll fkn crush it, mate.

You can't expect too much from these tech journalists, they are not analysts, the characteristics difference in Multi vs Single CCX is not something that has registered with them, to this day only Steve Burke and Steve from Hardware Unboxed have realized this.... the rest are completely ignorant to it.

Absolutely agree 100%. There is a reason for that i think. They simply take the money from the site hits and then just peddle out whatever Intel lets them do. Most of them have little to no understanding of how a single CCX works let alone a multi CCX. The reason is very basic, they have never had to understand it before because for the last 10 years the cash cow (for them) Intel has not had any multi CCX parts. I bet, they also will have no understanding of Ryzen 3 when it's launched. I'll also bet they will still claim that Intel is still the gaming king.

So true! I was very involved with PC hardware around 1998-2008. Had a break focusing on work/PhD/children, now looking to get back into it and struggling to find the detailed analysis that was available back then. All seems to be pretty shallow You Tube video.

And what on earth is going on with motherboard appearance? Why all this naff military / industrial design. Some boards even come with stickers!! Are they marketing to 8 year olds?

Not if their benchmarks show otherwise, unless they change their games to favour Intel. But then that's bias, not ignorance.

Although I'd love to see a repeat of Linus doing his "Intel, as always, win at gaming" *pause* "are these slides correct? Is this broken?" and then proceeds with the actual video. Not a big fan of the guy, but that did make me chuckle.

Military design? You're still behind the curve, military has been and gone, except for the UTTER LIE that are contemporary Asus TUF products. Oh, and MSI naming their stuff after weapons I guess. I'd kill for some industrial design though :p

But yes, they are marketing to the 1337 gamer crowd who just love their plastic. Some boards do look the absolute sex though: Rampage VI Extreme, Aorus X570 Xtreme, Maximus XI Gene, X570 Aqua (notice the common theme in price points here :p), Maximus VIII Impact after I modded mine...

Military/industrial is not so bad I just read it to mean high quality components, what does my nut in is all of the lights, go faster stripes and other naff stuff it really is like they are targeting motherboards at 8 year olds. Server motherboards look much more professional to my eyes than the consumer boards available today, the consumer market space seems to be very much style over substance.

You kids and your hip-hop lingo. :p

Can't help but agree with @clv101 tho. The "sexy" boards are just ridiculously over-styled with gushing plastic nonsense everywhere. Oooh and RGB lighting. Fancy.

I would love it if "it just works" without all the "sex" which to me is extremely pointless as I don't even have a window on my case.

Good engineering without the eye-candy. Is that too much to ask for these days?

Yes it seems they are marketed for 8 year olds but don't worry you can have loads of RGB ;). Soon there's going to be glitter and Hello Kitty/Barbie themed mobos the way things are going.
