Looks like intel got another swift boot in the swingers.

No intention of buying one since my 3600 is more than enough for gaming, but I am very happy that AMD are back in the game. Market competition makes things more exciting, and best of all makes the hobby of PC hardware significantly cheaper.

Finally! Shut up and take my money...

Been so long I’m worried I’ll just forget to buy it in time xD

Going to order a couple from different places to make sure i get one

 

[apostolis_kt]

So Noctua NH-D15 managed to cool this thing based on https://m.hexus.net/tech/reviews/cpu/136391-amd-ryzen-9-3950x/?page=11 and they OC'ed it as well. Now not sure if i should go for an AIO or the noctua.
All will be of course depended on if i managed to get one!

I wonder when orders go live for this cpu.

Curious that the reviews I saw showed the 3950x and 3900x tied as the fastest Adobe encode, but why are they virtually the same? Adobe codebase quirks? But pleasing to see that the x264 Handbrake encodes show a fair margin between the two. i9s need not apply to this comparison. Look forward to finding Da Vinci resolve benchmarks.

What will happen is 3900x's will come a plenty to the 2nd hand market as those who must have the most cores and threads battle to get hold of one and cast the 3900x to the wind as they forfill their urge. Can't go wrong really. Welcome AMD back to the heights of yesteryear.

You would think the best Intel HEDT part overclocked to 4.8Ghz should decimate AMD's top of the line mainstream part running at stock, but no, when it comes to outright HEDT task performance, the AMD mainstream part is as fast or faster. This is crazy....

Its like a complete role reversal, AMD are making Intel parts look generations old.

Imagine Ryzen 4000.

Yeah, 16 core dual channel mainstream vs 18 core quad channel HEDT

Not mainstream, for sure, can't be mainstream. Just marketing fluff...

"If you are building a high-end DIY PC, and are in need of a seriously proper performing streaming, content creating and/or gaming processor at a fair budget, well yes, at 749 I really can't say it's not a lot of money, but heck the value certainly is there."

Don't worry 4K8 is here to fill in for the time being

I swear I saw 4K8K recommend a 3700X build the other day. Almost blew my mind.
