AMD Zen 5 rumours

Just because they drop in US doesn't mean they will drop here. US prices for computer kit are way lower than UK anyway
On offer here already, its a start..

Seems like global price cut hit before x3d launches to catch any straglers

Real G's know now is the time for diamond hands, hold for the 3D Cache glory that's coming, hold to be blessed by Lisa's joy.
This should be called no fap tap October; don't you dare tap that buy button!

Before Intel launches you mean? It’s unlikely people waiting on Vcache would buy the non Vcache just because of a £20-40 discount.
 
 
In terms of ccd latency on 7900X3D and 7950X3D how bad is it for those that have one ? reason I ask is I am upgrading from a 5900X next year when the bigger core 9000 X3D series arrive yet on neogaf someone who apparently owns a 7950X3D says that it is a nightmare sometimes when games cross both CCDs. I genuinely have had no issues with my 5900X despite many games being greater that 6 cores and having to use both CCDs so am wondering if this is 3D cache specific and if so am I better just grabbing a 9900X ?
Having 7950x3D myself for few months now, I have never, not once, noticed any latency issues in gaming or using any other software. Everything so far just works as expected, I don't have to check it nor think about yet, and I am very sensitive to stutter for example. That said, I didn't check all the games out there obviously, so there might be some edge case.

Ok that is good to know. And I guess there is process lasso for older games if required.

To be honest I really don't mind a little latency here and there, I just didn't want to see lag spikes that are noticeable. Certainly never noticed an issue on 5900x

I do play some old games too now and then but you wouldn't even notice a difference on such fast CPU between CCDs I believe - you'd hit refresh rate wall of your monitor and that would be it, unless you keep FPS unlocked (I don't).
 
oticed any latency issues in gaming or using any other software
there is network latency and input lag latency, measured in milliseconds. Can be human noticeable and annoying

and then there is this inter-CCD latency or memory latency, measured in tens of nanoseconds. The only way to notice is specialised benchmarks. And a proxy could be slightly lower fps (and minimum fps)
 
Will be picking up one but struggling to decide on a board, especially when gigabyte is throwing around big performance claims. It’s between the Strix and Aorus Master for me

I’m sure all board manufacturers will have their own version of what gigabyte claim to be offering…

In this case some people claim it cause big FPS drops or stuttering - ergo, things very noticeable. I call that total BS based on my own experiences so far. :) As you said, inter-ccd latency is so small it's near insignificant - which was easy to see with 9k series needing recently a BIOS update to fix it, yet in real benchmarks there is pretty much no noticeable difference at all.
