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

Jumping in late here, any clarity on timing for the lifting of the reviews embargo tomorrow?

DougF1 · 4 Nov 2020 at 20:43

My 5950x is on its way. Will be here tomorrow by lunch time after snagging an early one this morning!

How are you buying these when AMD have stated release to be 9am EST, 17:00 UK Thursday?
Someone else bought a 5600X, but their delivery date got updated to Friday...

a jungle based website put them up for pre-order at 11. They were gone in 3 minutes.

somehow, mine got shipped. Most people seem to have been cancelled or delivering Friday. However mine is dispatched with a working tracking code for delivery tomorrow.

That's interesting, as I was looking on there for any type of pre order...
Guess I'll just wait it out till tomorrow.

they took the links down about 30 mins after they went up. So they are dead now

true_gamer · 4 Nov 2020 at 21:02

Yeah, I saw that, as there was a link a couple of days ago for the 5xxxx series.

I never saw a pre-order today when I was checking since 8am.

Anyway, I hope there is plenty of stock about, as I need a CPU. Motherboard has been sat empty for the past 3 weeks since I bought it.

9am EST is 2pm UK time pal, just a head up

I did it yesterday, got EST and PST mixed up then messed up BST too for the trifecta. I've got no chance picking planes out of capcha's tomorrow

Same, but my motherboard has been empty since August,
been following the Zen 3 thread for a year, waiting to upgrade.

You weren't concerned about the motherboard being DOA?

Yes a bit, but there is always the warranty, and it's a Gigabyte board with a rep on this forum.
Should be fine, touches wood

i´m Portuguese.. this is a brazillian youtuber, it´s real: ( benchmarks of all new ryzens in games)

R.I.P Intel

The stock 5600x is faster than the overclocked 10900k in most games

RavenXXX2 · 5 Nov 2020 at 05:46

flight simulator fans, zen 3 is now faster the intel by a decent margin.

Yeah its pretty clear that zen 3 is the best cpu if you play flight simulator

It’s a beautiful thing.

GregI · 5 Nov 2020 at 06:15

That graph at 6:04 looks so weird. The 3600XT has way better lows than any other chip? Then his FFXV info at 7:42 has a stock 10900k beating an all core 5 Ghz 10900k in both min and averages.

I'm also pretty sure he's running 3600 C18 XMP so if you were to run C14 expect like 3-4% on his final averages graph... even then it's still a win for Zen 3.
