AMD Zen3 event thread

[Deleted member 209350]

Excited isnt even the word! Might need to leave work a bit early to catch everything

 

[Curlyriff]

Time to let the 4790k go...

Same, waiting on this to decide. I am honestly likely to be waiting for the 16c/32t mind for work.

 

[redkrptonite]

Can’t wait for this too. Probably have my shiny new 5900x in my case before my strix 3090 arrives.

Yup, planning to retire my i5 4690k for a 5800x/5900x depending on price and spec.

 

[Slinky69]

It looks like this could well be another 3080 launch? I have been limbering up my F5 finger

 

[almoststew1990]

I'm hoping for a 4900X 12c or 16c that has the same power requirements and heat output as my 3700X so that in *an amount of time* I have a drop in upgrade. This might be wishful thinking...

I know it's corporate speak and branding etc but does anyone actually find setting up these sorts of events "fun"? The few times I've done it (at a much smaller scale) it's been a pain in the bum

It's going to be 5*** Series not 4***. That's already been confirmed.

 

[Journey]

They are going to launch low end parts as 4xxx and high end ones as 5xxx just to annoy you lot.

 

[deuse]

Wonder if they will take the gaming crown this time?

No. I don't mean trade blows or comes close.

 

[pigeonguyuk]

Been waiting for this. It's the reason i stuck a 3600 on an X570.

I've the 3300x on my x570 tomahawk xD

Now it will be Intel fans who will be saying "advantage at 1080p doesn't matter, who plays 3090 at 1080p? at 4k it is almost equal"

 

[snips86x]

HYPE!!!!!!!

 

[snips86x]

Me too. Stop gap 3600 will be flooding the members market soon

I will be one of those

I was amazed 1080p is still the most used according to steam.

 

[snips86x]

I was amazed 1080p is still the most used according to steam.

That surprised me as well, considering how well some of the older cards run 1440p even now (980Ti for example), and even the 1070 in some cases.
I guess that fast refresh at 1080p is what people are looking for.

 

[opethdisciple]

I doubt I need an upgrade for a 3700x.

 

[Armageus]

I was amazed 1080p is still the most used according to steam.

You have to remember that this forum is biased towards enthusiasts - the vast majority of steam gamers don't buy high end.

4 of the current top 5 video cards by % share are low/mid range parts (GTX1060/1050Ti/1050/1650) - only 1 is a higher end part (GTX1070)

Edit:
Similarly Quad core CPUs are still dominant at 45.69%, and 16.3% still use Dual cores

Annoyingly booked someone to come in to quote me for something at 5pm, so will miss it...not that I expect anything to go on sale immediately but, as already said...HYPE.

I game at UHD not 4K.

I will be going to either a ATX or E-ATX from a mATX soon.
So if AMD beats Intel that would be great for me.

 

[mushtafa]

Looking forward to this. I expect they'll be out of my budget, but current prices will drop allowing me to get something better. A 3900x for 3700x price will do me.
