Gibbo ETA for 3900x?
- Thread starter easyrider
- Start date
If you're going to have a part upgrade this year and then wait for a future gen to upgrade big, then I suggest you get something solid for now like the 3700X and wait until 2021 for Zen 4 where it all changes up

It did cross my mind but I've got the itch now. My 2500k build isn't coping too well now either.
The problem is people have and are willing to pay the inflated price though they was showing to have 10+ in stock yesterday morning and last night had 1 in stock, looked again this morning and preorder again. Goes to show that there is a demand for it with increased price and I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see the price ever go back to the 479.99. I think the price will settle at about 519.99 until ryzen 4 comes out.
Businesses are here to make money if what gibbo was saying and they buying at higher price anyhow thank to the pound falling
then prices would have gone up anyhow . But if every etailer are Charing a high price most iif not all I’ve looked at are charging a similar price then why would a company with stock sell it cheape then the other stores with no stock.
£560 is a unreal price tag for a 12-core.
AMD sells Ryzen 5 3600 for £188 which means that adding another chiplet would increase the price to £240 MAX, anything more than £240 is ridiculous.
DON'T buy that crap!
How can AMD undercut intel by a huge margin in the servers market, while the poor consumers who don't understand anything, should pay the whole bill??

Thankfully the CPU price hasn't been raised where I currently live. Most of my stuff is still back in the UK, when I decide to upgrade after moving my stuff over it will be way cheaper even after the 3900x RRP is back to normal.
A 12 core for £560 is unreal? But £500 for an 8 core is fine? Bruh, give it a break....Even with this supply and demand excuse it is still miles better than getting Intel's flagship.
9900K: £62.5 per core
3900X: £46.66 per core
YES PEOPLE BUY INTEL!!
Sorry. But what has made me laugh it really has .
9900K is a better buy for gaming. It's the faster chip for gaming.
By what 3% at most? The 3900X is a LOT faster than the 9900K in multi threated stuff, yet they cost the same. Intel sells you an 8 core for the price that AMD will sell you a 12 core, and you agree with Intel's logic somehow?
The 3900X is way off its advertised clocks. Many of them don't even reach 4.3 GHz.
Also, the 3900X is likely to die because the technology with chiplets is still effectively in beta testing and not ready yet.
Let’s all base our buying on a gaming shall well (I know a lot of people do or there primary reason) but intel are 3-5% quicker at 1080p with a 2080ti. I know 4k8k How about I allow you to use my pc though steam streaming at 1080p and see if u can tell a difference between my gaming rig and a i9 9900k shall we?
But a cpu is more then just gaming and at this price point the 3900x makes a lot more sense then a I 9900k. Not saying the 9900k is a bad chip far from it I just think it would make more sense and be the go to chip if it was priced at I 7 prices
That test is horribly done, many things can factor how the CPUs boosts. Lookat Hardware Unboxed video and you will see. The SAME CPU was boosting differently by just changing the motherboard
I have seen on the 3 different motherboards I have that I’ve had 3 different boosts on my 3900x but never near the max boost but I also don’t think it’s all amd fault I think all motherboard manufacturers set the motherboards to be to aggressive and at the most they could get at testing since most reviews are done at the start of the life of cpu/mobo being conservative on stuff shows there motherboard to slower then the next so they push everything as far as they could in testing the. Sort out the issues after . With amd ryzen 3 being a new cpu and not a refinement of the last on same process etc that they are more erratic and stuff in bios options we have vs intel
Them Epyc chips work out at £108 per core. At that price a 3900x would work out at over £1300.
How much is Intel's 12 core equivalent?
Not available N/A in the MSDT platform. LGA1151 is up to an 8-core with iGPU.
