inb4 6 cores not enough :p




Looks good but think I'll wait to see what the 3d verison brings, that and that power consumption + temps is mental. Got my 5600x running -30 on all cores. 5800x3d would be more tempting especially since it would be just a drop in upgrade.

I have no interest in the six core CPUs myself,especially with the platform costs involved,another £100 won't be much of a percentage increase anyway!

So my first gut reaction is, if you are in to any kind of productivity the top end chips are absolutely mega and make a very good case for themselves in that context.

If you only play games and you are already on AM4, buy a 5800X3D. Seems pointless at this moment in time changing platforms when pretty much any decent AM4 board will take a 5800X3D. None of the other new platform features really mean anything meaningful for games yet and probably won’t for a while.

If you own Alder lake, just upgrade to raptor lake.

Otherwise it looks expensive, new CPU, expensive motherboards, new ram. Personally I would wait it out, see what happens next year, unless you are on a really old platform.

I am on a very old 6600k, so I need to upgrade, though I'll wait till motherboard prices come down a bit.
The 7600 looks more than enough for gaming and seems to run a bit cooler than the 7700x thankfully. Hopefully in future I can drop in a Zen5 upgrade when I need a bit more performance.
 
If anyone gets a Zen4 upgrade please can you run this Fallout 4 benchmark:

Well the 5800x3D is £415 so compared to a 7600x to get on a new platform that is around £299 then you have £116 spare for a mobo which you could buy a B650e or X670 accordingly. So only RAM cost on top which is about £200 so that total cost upgrade to get on new platform and on average be faster gaming by a few % whilst also being ready to drop a new chip in next generation. It isn't mentally more expensive.

If you are looking a new platform at moment it certainly makes sense.

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D has been below £400 before if you could shop around. Considering how it is not massively affected by DDR4 memory speed(so cheap RAM is not such a problem) and B550 motherboards are quite cheap,the money saved is still better spent on a better graphics card IMHO.

Will do.
 
I've watched a couple of reviews but haven't seen any gaming without a discrete card figures yet, how are they comparing to 5600G/5700G etc in that regard?

EDIT: Guess I should have read a couple not relied on YouTube, Techpowerup has a few charts, they look awful compared to even a 5600G

The wait continues... Still no capable CPU for that 120 fps lock, and this is still inferior to ADL & 5800X3D - and all for a cool premium on top of it at all. Meh. :o

Guess it doesn't matter as much anymore since we know DLSS 3 will help a lot here for the CPU bottleneck (sorta), and the 4090 will stay <120 fps even with DLSS in Performance mode. Too many compromises all around for so much money, it's a pretty mediocre launch period all things considered. Once the v-cache CPUs hit, and then Nvidia does its ADA refresh then we're talking, but it still feels like we're a year early for actually exciting products (and prices).
 
Looking forward to these chips, time to watch the reviews and decided on my next build. I'll definitely be seeing a massive performance increase coming my good old 4690k and GtX 970 :)

Anyone know when they go live on OCUK?
