AMD Zen 5 rumours

[ED209]

Are we expecting new motherboards along with the 9000 series?

New motherboards are meant to be out at the end of September

open goal and they miss every single time...

They're worse than England on penalties.

Yes, 8xx series, the GN video has a slide showing the new spec (PCIE/USB etc) a few minutes in. Also in here https://gamersnexus.net/cpus/amd-st...s-chipset-differences-x870e-vs-x870-b850-b840

Oof

Watching hardware unboxed

This looks like a stinker lol

7800x3d though just looks like *the* chip to get for gamers

That was always gonna be the case when AMD said it wouldn't match it in gaming if pricing was better could have made a case but it isn't, and 7800x3d getting close to £300 ,

Cheers, guess I should have waited until watching the video

Seems a long time coming which adds to the disappointment. Only skimmed one review (S.Burke's) but memory compatibility issues on existing motherboards that have been around a while, what the heck? If Intel pull something decent off performance wise and work well out of the box, they could well repair some of their damaged reputation.

I'm imagining we won't see the 7800X3D dropping as low as it has previously, at least for a while.

It's currently £329.99 how low did it drop previously ?

Not until the 9000 series x3D variants launch.

 

[Joxeon]

What a disappointment and if these vanilla chips are only a couple of % faster then is there any point waiting for X3D versions as they’re not going to be hardly any faster than Zen4 X3D.

It's been closer to £300 (£315) and I'm sure many hoped it would drop after the 9000 releases, my point is that I don't think that's gonna happen after seeing the performance... :/

 

[Rob_B]

Halfway into GN videao and it looks like the 9700X is often comparable to a 5700X3D (and sometimes 5600X3D, in gaming), that's just awful

Well it's likely to jump up now till x3d zen5 release

 

[Curlyriff]

Well that has been shocking release. What a waste of time!

 

[Cob]

Well it looks like my 5700X3D is safe for now.

 

[Havana_UK]

Very disappointing results AMD...

 

[MyBrainz]

I'll just re-thermal-paste the 5800X3D then

 

[Cob]

I was hoping these would lead to some cheap used 7xxx series chips appearing, but nobody’s going to be upgrading from 7xxx to 9xxx.

 

[Major774]

Jeez... a minor bump in performance won't get people moving.

 

[RavenXXX2]

WTH, why bother.
