Oh I know, I'm just playing
Ah well in that case, it'll be the surprise 32 core r9 5951 on a 5nm node, and slots right into any motherboard from the x570 line.
What better way to snatch up all the 5nm wafers once Apple vacate and move to 3nm!
6Ghz all core and 3GHz IF inbound! RIP Intel!
Pretty decent... First time below RRP?

I bought it at that price from OcUK some weeks ago also.
lower failure rate so less returns clogging up logistics?
I think they have found a way to get advertised performance out of chips that wouldn't have made the cut on old stepping.
This would help them sell more chips from the same supply.

What's the average flck a 5600x can be expected to achieve?
More like supply has now improved, so they are back down to MSRP levels.
Ordinarily one would say so but these days you can never be sure, I think it's unlikely midrange will have more than 8c16t for quite a while yet, clockspeeds seem to be plateauing too so again I don't see midrange boosting that much about 4.4ghz, so you're basically left hoping for a big IPC uplift and maybe a very modest clockspeed increase.
In some ways that's a good thing, no upgrade temptation for some time. I think I should be good for a few generations of GPU hopefully. Once all the madness settles down I'll look for a decently priced (<£500) upgrade from 5700XT performance. I've hopefully got an SN850 1TB (£119) on the way so I won't be needing any faster storage either!
wccftech forums saying XT is confirmed to be B2 stepping on 6nm. will have to wait and see.

don't believe it for a second, if it moved to 6nm, there would be improvements, they said no perf improvements.
So an Xt might be on 6nm, but it isn't the b2 stepping they recently announced

Zen 3+ coming at the end of the year.
It's normal 7nm Zen 3 as far as we know for now, but it uses 3D stacked V-cache which nearly triples the amount of L3 cache for the CPU running at 2TB/s.
This improves gaming performance at 1080p by between 5% and 25% depending on the game tested

Amyone who upgrades from Zen3 to Zen3+ needs their heads checking unless they are going from low core count to high core count (eg: 5600x to 5900x+ for specific reasons).
