Poll: Poll: Will you be ditching Ryzen 2 for Ryzen 3

[easyrider]

1. Yes but will be keeping my current motherboard

2. No I’m sticking with Ryzen 2

3. I’ll be upgrading both my Gen1/Gen 2 Ryzen chip and motherboard to Ryzen 3 and X570

4. I’ll be upgrading my intel platform to Ryzen 3

2600X here. If current B450 can take a 3800X, I can't say I won't be tempted.

It will...it’s basically a 2700x with a speed bump.

 

[easyrider]

What I don't get is how everyone can afford to jump up a price tier now that AMD have pushed prices up.

So many people saying they will go from a 2600/1660/1700/2700 to a £400 (more likely £450) 3800X.

Do people just shrug and think, "This is what I must pay now. This is how it is."

Well yeah, but before they do they moan about the £499 9900k...it’s whatever suits them at the time...

 

[easyrider]

Well compatibility isn't just about power consumption.

Also that's completely misleading given it is nothing like a 2700X given the chiplet design.

It takes 30 seconds to find the AMD chipset for motherboards from the keynote stating it...

B350 X370 bespoke bios from vendors...everything else yes...so not misleading at all...

 

[easyrider]

Complete BS. It'll be £400 at most from the cheapest source.

More likely £360-£370.

Nope...I think you need to some research first before you post..

I didn't say it isn't compatible. But it has nothing to do with the fact you think it is a higher clocked 2700X (which is completely wrong).

I didn’t mention clocks...I said speed bump...

Next.

 

[easyrider]

$399 != £400.

I think you need to do research.

I'll point you to some examples.

RTX 2060 = $349.
RTX 2070 = $499.

What are their £ equivalents?

The 3800x will not be £360 on release.

What do you think speed bump means?

A speed of a processor is the clock rate.

Next.

Lol

No it’s not... 4ghz chip v a 4ghz chip with higher IPC means one is faster...can you guess which one?

Next....

 

[easyrider]

Again you never said IPC bump. You said speed bump.

Next.

Oh dear...I’ll let you go now..I’m bored...

Go do some research

 

[easyrider]

No thanks. You can do your own. I suggest you google what processor speed means.

You just compared a quad core chip with a quad core with HT

Lol

Do some research on cores and threads...then clocks then IPC...then cache...etc...then you won’t have to ask silly questions on the internet wether a b450 mobo will be compatible...

 

[easyrider]

Err, still 4 cores. HT is just an IPC improvement. Speed bump according to you.

You can have a slower ghz chip being faster than a higher ghz chip...

So if you are basing speed bump purely on ghz then you are a noob...

 

[easyrider]

I'm the noob. Is the 7700K a speed bump on a Q6600?

Speed bump captures everything apparently according to you.

Funny how you mentioned cache in your last post.



Checked the 3800X cache numbers against the 2700X?

Funny how you still think the 3800X is a "speed bump" on the 2700X, but that statement isn't true for the 7700K against the Q6600.

Show's how stupid a statement it is to make.

Then there is the stupid £400+ price estimates given it is $399.

You are arguing with yourself. lol

 

[easyrider]

You're reading and replying mate. I see you've realised you can't get out of your hole.

Eh? Everything I have said is correct...plus $399 does not mean we will pay £315 you only have to have bought a piece of hardware recently to understand that...

You’re deluded.

 

[easyrider]

Care to quote me?

Hole is only getting bigger mate.

You pulled £370 out your backside...

The 9900k was $499 in the US we can buy it here for £499

Same for 2080 ti....

It will be the same for a 3800x....

Where did you get £370 from ?

Don’t answer...I don’t care as your just trolling this thread

 

[easyrider]

Because I can actually price things which aren't limited in supply.

Great good for you...congrats...

But you don’t actually know...with any new release we see price gouging from vendors...so I hope you’re right

So 3700x will be ?

 

[easyrider]

So now you resort to price gouging as your defence. Cheapest price is never gonna break £400. £370 is what it will be.

If you actually paid attention to the two prior Ryzen launches it is easy to guess.

Ok...you’re talking BS but ok...

I would imagine from $:£ conversion + 20% VAT

$1 US = £0.788525 GBP

$399 * 0.788525 = 314.621

314.621 * 1.2 = £377.55

So I would imagine i'll be around £379-399 here depending on cost of transportation and how much shops want to skim off the top.

£399 like I said...

 

[easyrider]

Well at least it'd now down on the £400-£450 estimate I was rebutting which you decided to suddenly interject yourself in.

£399 is still too high though.

How much is a 9900K btw. Suddenly a price gap is appearing.

Also you never said what your definition for a "speed bump" was.

The 3800x will be £399 maybe more and is a speed bump on a 2700x

15% clock for clock...

And just look in the ocuk shop if you don’t know how much a 9900k is

 

[easyrider]

Nah mate. I'll stick to your quote and the original point of your posts. You are only in this thread to belittle the launch with carefully phrased posts and you've been called out on it.

Funny how you let the "more likely £450" fly. Of course it fit within the narrative you wanted to paint.

You’re either very bored or very sad...well see when the chips come out...I want cheaper prices as the 8/12 Ryzen 3800x is not compelling for £399 a mere £100 saving over a 9900k...so ill probably go 3900x at £499

Belittle a cpu launch? I couldn’t give a toss...I’ll quite happily spend £500 on a 12/24 3900x over the same priced 9900k

 

[easyrider]

Well feel free to show me that I am wrong on July 7th if there isn't a price less than £380 posted on Hotukdeals by then. Given you a £20 window.

And that's very generous given you think £399 is the absolute lowest it can be.

We'll adjust for today's exchange rates. $1 = £0.79.

On release...£399 after a month or so or near Christmas it will drop...

Well probably see 9900k for 449 by then not just in a Gibbo test the water 24 hour flash sale..

 

[easyrider]

Loving all the arguing about the 9900K price, it is actually pretty hilarious how useless people are at shopping or lazy. You can get a 9900K right now for £430 (€489), retail version as well not the OEM version. It was only every being gouged due to literally no stock availability, it was effectively a paper launch and the height of Intel's 14nm shortages, you've been able to get a 9900K for less than £460 since end of Feb, and a few places before that.

UK street price for the 1700X was £375 at release, and the $:£ was at a pants $1.20-1.22:£1 unless there is a stock shortage (worldwide) then the prices will follow the $:£ plus local taxes very closely from non-gouging retailers, and if everywhere has stock then non of them can really charge much more. Unless they try and convince you they need to keep items in stock or they look like a poor shop.

so what do you think the 3700x and 3800x and 3900x will be on release with stock a plenty?

 

[easyrider]

Will most likely be moving my 8700k based machine into living room gaming duties (it’s build) and replacing it with a 3900x or 3950x if announced.

Don’t really need to but fancy something new to mess around with. Plus I also fancy moving back to a full tower build.

Do you encode?
