Intel also had/ has a claim on older games that use DX11 and like single core performance.

If AMD does come out on top intel literally have nothing except they might end up being cheaper

Indeed. Real CPU munchers like MS Flight Sim also benefit from blazing fast single core performance. AMD best be coming for that too.

For me this is the only reason I am still considering intel as I play a lot of sims that like single core performance.

Then official 3rd party benchmarks on November 5th will be very important for you.

So reviews hit the exact time they go sale, that's lame.

Yep. It's one of the most CPU-heavy titles in ages. It can justify a purchase, one way or another.

Same here. Look for Geekbench 4 scores on their site and sort by processor type. Since GB4 breaks down the score into subsections you'll be able to see what's influencing the SC score.

For me, improvements there correlate directly to sim performance and in turn VR sim performance.

That's what we need, gotta find out how these new chips make a difference in the most challenging circumstances.

The Core i3 10100F has been announced - should be around £90 after VAT. In-between a Ryzen 3 3100 and a Ryzen 3 3300X for gaming.

Are we in for a bit of a turn around with Intel competing for the low-end/value segment of the market?

Hard to say what we are in for - Intel is executing as if blind to the real world.

What happens on November 5th? New Intel chips?

You would think so when looking at the prices.

True, but they are pricing like they very much understand the competitive landscape.

Exactly, they know people will pay it

Interesting- I was referring to the price cuts they've seen this year as they try to keep some kind of counter offering to AMD's ongoing improvements.

Ignore me, i only skim read and missed it was in reference to Intel. I though it was in reference to AMD Zen 3 pricing

No worries, it all makes more sense now.

This page shows the 3900XT coming close to the 5900X Zen 3

https://www.thefpsreview.com/2020/1...-early-cinebench-r20-single-multi-core-tests/

£640 for the 3950X though, which is not included on that chart. 16/32. 3.5 / 4.7

Contender for the 5900X at £100 more?

Edit, done a bit more reading. No, unless productivity only

Those ryzen 5000 scores are all overclocked ryzen 3000 scores, except for the single performance score. I still can't understand why people are willing to upgrade just for one stupid Unoptimized game. To play a game at 50 fps instead of 40 fps.

Are they? Guess we’ll wait to see the actual scores then
People are willing to upgrade because
a. They have money to
b. Want to play games at higher fps
c. Do more with programs and have multiple open

Probably a combination of the a, b & c. Personally it’s all 3. I’ve not upgraded my cpu/mainboard/ram in almost 8 years. Games are starting to run a bit crap in buit up areas, no matter if i turn down graphics settings / resolution.
I also want to stream / record highlights which doesnt play well with a quad core
