What I don't get is how everyone can afford to jump up a price tier now that AMD have pushed prices up.Possibly - if I do, would likely replace the 2700X with a 3800X, keeping the X470 Aorus Gaming 7 wifi motherboard. Will need to see some comparisons![]()
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.

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 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...
Complete BS. It'll be £400 at most from the cheapest source.
More likely £360-£370.
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).
Nope...I think you need to some research first before you post..![]()
I didn’t mention clocks...I said speed bump...
Next.
$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?
What do you think speed bump means?
A speed of a processor is the clock rate.
Next.
The 3800x will not be £360 on release.
