AMD Zen 5 rumours

@Gibbo has been tagged but is probably unsurprisingly busy as monitoring the forums isn't exactly his job :)

Interestingly I can't see anywhere listing it for sale in the UK yet, so maybe there is a story there.
As per my post higher up, orange place listed the 9950x3d and was actually for sale and delivery by Wednesday @£780 roughly 30 minutes ago, the page said 5 people were currently buying it.
They have since changed it to coming soon so must have got a few orders for it and noticed the mistake
Not found it listed on any other site so far though

Don’t know how credible this YouTuber is, however he’s claiming the exact same thing some people were complaining about with the 7950x3d, especially in CSGO.

I’m looking forward to some real world testing by members in the coming weeks/months.

Has any information been shared regarding game bar and power plans that must be used, which was the case with the 7950x3d?

Such a shame they didn’t do the 9900x3d with an 8 core 3d cache ccd and a 4 core normal ccd.

Looks like you compromise too much gaming performance in certain situations that you dont with the 9950x3d.

With such a small price difference between the two, its difficult to know why they even bother releasing a 9900x3d to be honest.

The 12 core 9900X3D is such a pointless CPU when the price between that and the 9950X3D is so small. May as well just keep those two 6 core CCDs and save them for a 9600X3D.
 
 
More like $1 to £1 so £599, probably more. The 9900x3d isn't going to be a any cheaper than that as the 9800x3d is £479.99 and that's on offer at the moment. I can see the 9950x3d being £700-720.
That was a pretty good estimate for once in my life. Actual prices look like £599.99 and £699.99 on OCUK. Now to do the lottery!!
 
Just cancelled the 9550x from my order, I will give it ago today at 2pm but I'm in no rush to get one because 2 items in my basket are still on pre-order.
 
AMD just sent us this:

@Gibbo sorry to bother you, could you clarify what the crack is with teh free delivery for forum meners. It used to be next day DPD but when i ordered me 9950X 3D it now says 5 working days?

Warehouse is under instructions to get them all out today, so should be shipping with DPD.
