ill hold out for the x3d chip, im not playing their silly dipping game
I need to build a new system for myself around EoY and will be looking for the x3d variants out by then. And we should have a clear idea of the IF improvements rumored by then as well.
Seeing as "should I upgrade my 5600/5700/5800 to 5700X3D/5800X3D" must be one of the most popular forum threads/questions/issues in the last few months, apparently it works

They might be overpriced when first released so it could be a good idea to wait and see what Intel releases first, as they might try milking before then.
I’m going to hold out for the x3d too. Only reason I didn’t last time is I was building a whole new system, this time I think I’m just going to upgrade the CPU and my GPU.ill hold out for the x3d chip, im not playing their silly dipping game

Also holding back the "gaming" chips to spoil Intel's party later

Good jump coming but unless you're more than 1-2 gens behind it probably wont be worth the upgrade unless you're into competitive gaming
The 7950X had a large price drop the day before I got one, think it was £200. AMD always drops the prices after a month or two.

AORUS X870 leak confirms Ryzen 9 9950X Zen5 flagship CPU - VideoCardz.com
AORUS X870 and Ryzen 9000 details leaked ahead of launch The new motherboard for next-generation AMD Ryzen CPUs. It appears that Gigabyte has now confirmed that the new AM5 motherboards will indeed carry X870. This means AMD will be skipping the X770 series for its new generation of...

It’s probably because of insane graphics card prices. You can’t blame people paying through their nose for wanting every last drop performance for the money.
More gigabyte leaks
Confirm the new budget chipset is B840, it replaces B650 and interestingly it says B840 does not support OC. If you want to overclock you have to get a X870

Gigabyte confirms new B840 chipset: no CPU OC support and no PCIe Gen5 - VideoCardz.com
AMD B840 chipset replaces the cheaper B650 series Gigabyte leak has confirmed a new chipset for the upcoming AM5 Ryzen CPUs. AMD will introduce at least four new chipsets for its AM5-based CPUs. The X670E and X670 chipsets will be succeeded by the X870E and X870, respectively. The Extreme...

This makes sense, the distinction between B650E and B650 has always been confusing and there's a large gap between A620 and B650, so hopefully the trash boards will get the B840 label.

Yeah agreed, the B850 has the same OC features as the X870, just like the B550 and X570, it looks like they simply changed the A_20 boards to B840.
Its all good, other than this E thing which is needlessly overcomplicated segmentation, back in the AM3+ days if a board had USB 3 it would simply have "USB 3" as part of the model name, E means nothing, you have to google what that means.

Hmm, x870 needed for EXPO 8000mhz kits, according to those leaks. Wonder what % performance loss we'll see between X870 8000Mhz EXPO (which presumably reviewers will use, as it's plug and plug) vs x670 boards limited to lower speeds?
I'm aware some 2 DIMM X670e boards can OC/EXPO to 8000 as well, though these are in the minority.

It’s not needed. You can hit 8000mhz on 670 and 650 boards. The question is if the IPC uplift warrants running increased memory speeds. The next generation of EPYC and more so Threadripper, should see huge gains from increased memory bandwidth.
from the results I have seen 6000mhz vs 8000mhz is not worth the hassle. I assume the new cup with new bios will allow the x670 platform to adopt similar speeds more consistently and attaint higher speeds was not a motherboard problem but finicky cup's. I honestly don't see the point of x670 owners upgrading to x870 unless I am missing something? USB4 is not enough of a feature to warrant it.

Cynical rebranding of the A840A(not A840) as it uses Promontory 19.More gigabyte leaks

Promontory 19 is the same chipset used in the B550 and the A620A(not A620 which uses Promontory 21):
Biostar's new AMD motherboard could be perfect for budget builds — A620A motherboard arrives with a rebadged B550 chipset
Affordable A620A motherboard for Zen 4 CPUs
This should be called an A800 chipset! This means PCI-E 4.0 for both the dGPU and SSD slots. By renaming it to B840,AMD want's to charge more for a recycled chipset from 2019.
This means the B840 will probably replace the current B650 in price,and the B850 will be jacked up in price to where the B650E is located.
Already with AM5 we saw AMD divide the B550 replacement into B650 and B650E. The B650E was the true B550 replacement as it brought a guaranteed change to PCI-E 5.0 for both the dGPU and SSD slots.

As always with AMD of late give them a few months for pricing to settle down, they take the right **** at first.
