AMD Zen3 event thread

[humbug]

Ok.

I was expecting a price hike, especially if they beat Intel in gaming, which it looks like they do.

But $299 for the 6 core, i'm a little disappointed with that, the 3600 was $199, i was expecting $249 for the 5600.

But it looks like they are the best, the fastest chips on earth, including gaming, They deserve to get paid for what they achieved, but they are now more expensive than Intel, Intel are now the cheap alternative, in a way that's a good thing, in another way its not.

Will i buy one? Probably...... $300, its still not that expensive for what you're getting.

The Ryzen 5 5600X is $300,ie,the price of the Ryzen 7 3700X.

3700x wasnt £300 when released. it was £400 i think...

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

So the prices have basically all gone up by $50?

3700x wasnt £300 when released. it was £400 i think...

More than that - the Ryzen 7 3700X launched at $330. So there has been a massive price hike this generation.

The Ryzen 5 3600 was $200,and the Ryzen 5 3600X was $250.

Massive price increases allround.

There is also room for an even more expensive Ryzen 5 5600XT.

Look at the last slide. "All tests done with Nvidia 2080ti"... Lol

Makes sense, AMD weren't gonna use Big navi, we will see those numbers later on.

AMD most likely does not have access at the time to the 3000 series, if you want to benchmark a specific component, you need to eliminate the bottle neck and the 2080ti is prob what they had best on access.

I don't know a lot, but they were measuring the 5950X against 10900K and showing some fairly modest victories. The 10900K is GBP 559 and they just said the 5950X will be USD 799 so GBP 750 at best. That's not exactly good value then?

Well the 3950X is really competing with the 10890XE, or even it's own field.

The 5900X is where it's at for gamers. Who would buy a £750+ CPU for gaming.

 

[opethdisciple]

I thought they looked impressive but a little pricey.

I'm expecting £450 for the 5800x and £550 for the 5900x.

Which is a tad high.

How do the Navi 6000 numbers they showed at 4k compare to the RTX 3080?

No, watch it back they were comparing the 5900X not the 5950X

i bet you there will be a 5700X SKU that is cheaper...anyway 3000 seris CPU prices wont be dropping much on the back of these.

Bet you there isn't, until 2H 2021 or something.

Didn't they say before that the 3700X series ate their profits because nobody wanted a 3800X and the minimal gains from one to other.

Now you've got no choice

Clearly it's $50 increase. AMD aren't a value brand anymore, they are premium.

yes, equivalent part is the intel i5 which is same price but dont support PCIe4 and potetially slower...

Nope.

The Ryzen 5 5600X is now 33% more expensive than the Ryzen 5 3600X,and 50% more expensive than the Ryzen 5 3600.

Also,its even worse when you look at TDP. The 65W Ryzen 5 was a $200 part,so expect a 95W TDP Ryzen 5 5600XT later on.

if that is the case then fair enough. tbh I think that 6core is the most popular

 

[Deluxe1]

Hopefully £500 for the 5900x

 

[pugheaven]

Amazing to notice nVidia cards being used, not even a 5700xt lol... and they daren't show 6000

 

[The_One]

Why did they use a 2080ti for the benchmarking lol

 

[Kelt]

It's a pity some of the people here can't go back to my past where a 486DX 66Hz CPU cost 600 nineties pounds.

You're complaining now, I think you would be jumping off bridges back then!

 

[Joxeon]

Errmm not impressed TBH from what I see.
maybe 6-8% faster for gaming than a 10900, at 200 dollars more.
Add to that a mobo and I'll take an i9 9900 update my bios save aprox 400 notes over a zen 3 plus mobo and only be 8% behind at worst.

I don't know what I am missing but it doesn't sound like the revolution I was hoping for.

I don't think the 5950X is aimed at gamers it's more a CPU for core heavy workloads that can still game well.

 

[loonyk]

3080 borderlands 3 in 4k gives around 60fps....very excited

 

[thenewoc]

Would have thought they would still be a pinch cheaper than they are to grab more market share. We need Intel to step up now to stop AMD from going to the dark side lol.

Well we can now look forward to people tripping over themselves to say how "poor people shouldn't be buying gaming PCs" and other crap.

And justifying 50% price hikes like it was nothing at all.
