*** AMD "Zen 4" thread (inc AM5/APU discussion) ***

OcUK is generally a lot cheaper on Zen 4 7000 series CPU's compared to most competitors and yes DDR5 is coming down in price quite a bit now. :)


Non-X variants due to release tomorrow, any idea on the prices?

Upto around £50 cheaper than the equivalent X part based on current OcUK pricing, as some competitors are £700 plus on a 7950X compared to OcUK at just £599 and just £499 on a 7900X. :)

Sweet... any costs on a 7600 and 7700? I'm holding out for the X3D but looking to build my youngest her first rig and probably gifting my 13600K to my oldest when that time arrives.

Reviews for the non-x 7000 series out. Seem like decent options if the price is right - cool and efficient with the power limit in place, with decent gaming and productivity results as expected (although 7900 seems more affected by the power limit than 7700 and 7600). Especially the 7600, with very similar performance to the 7600x. Then when auto overclocked all of then seem to give almost the same performance as the X chips!






Even if its worth waiting for the x3d chips for top gaming performance, looks like these will be a nice addition to the range for those that want to spend a bit less / won't benefit from the x3d chips.

Going to be pricy is that? DDR5 is starting to settle down, but motherboards are still costing as much as the chip.
I mean overall it's definitely not worth an upgrade to Zen 4, from 13600K, but people overrate the price increases for AM5 mobos. The actual quality of the mobos has gone up substantially so that's why you won't find any that are starting very low, but at the same time those kinds of boards you wouldn't want to use in the first place. Imo the cost increase argument a lot of people have made is misleading because it didn't depict actual real scenarios and they just fixated on low-end low-cost parts that people don't generally pair together with the CPUs they're actually talking about.

DDR5 prices are definitely more manageable now, I think the biggest problem with them right now is a lot of people are still stuck on memory OC and forget that the gains are actually very small, so they overpay massively for what ends up as bragging rights rather than real performance. Especially for Zen 4 it's almost completely a waste of money.

Nice post to read and so true. No, I'm not looking to upgrade just yet I mean having a platform that will last a few more generations is appealing... but not yet.
 
Do you receive them direct from china or do they go to usa first then over here?

Distribution receives from China or USA and pays in USD.

Just like I am buying product daily from Taiwan, Hong Kong and China, but I buy all items in USD.
