RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

Blimey. I dread to think how much 64GB quad-channel 4000Mhz DDR4 RAM will cost when Threadripper 5xxx comes out.

I hope that Threadripper 5xxx will have a more reasonable memory limit. 64 GB ECC DIMMs seem to be the sweet spot for price / capacity.

I hope we get a Ryzen 5700X for a reasonable price.

Is it likely to be ECC? I didn't think Threadripper used ECC RAM. I always thought that was reserved for EPYC.

Threadripper can use either.

Yep those two links have made me rethink everything regarding memory.

If 4000Mhz is the sweet spot then perhaps this may be better - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...4000mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-098-tg.html

But this set https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-001-8p.html

Could you overclock it to reach 4000mhz?

Ignore the 8pack stuff. You're paying for a name. Cheaper to be had elsewhere. The difference is a few FPS in game that you'd hardly notice anyway.

Are the cpu’s available direct from AMD or are we going to get spit roasted another few hundred quid on top of the rrp, similar to 3080s?
I’m out if the 5900X @ £530 changes to £700 a day before it goes on sale

Don't worry, 'currency exchange rate fluctuations' will only push it from £530 to £600 from basket to checkout.

I'd like to think there are some retailers out there that still put customers ahead of profit maximisation. The RRP should already provide healthy margins.

Don’t forgot ‘Covid related issues’
Every business in the world seems to be using this excuse at the moment

Gives them a bit more ammo than the usual spiel that gets trotted out on a cpu\gpu launch.

OK, what's the profit margin on RRP then?

For high street retailers it would normally be between 25% to 35%.

Whats with the OCuK recommendation of 3600MHz memory. If Zen 3 / Zen 3 boards support 4600 then why not get faster?

I assume so OCuk can shift more stock of their in-house brands/ones' they have distribution exclusivity with. Teamgroup and 8pack.

There are so many variables beyond what is even listed below.

It's not even been confrmed if this is the case for all CPU where as 3600 is still really good and compatible. It also doesn't take into account single rank vs dual rank even if this is the case. 3600 can run dual rank way easier than 4000 on boards and CPU IMC. OcUK is all about compatibility for most users while still giving great performance and 3600 is just that.

 

[kitfit1]

^^^True.

AMD have always maintained that 3600 is the sweet spot for Zen 2, they havn't actually said yet what the sweet spot is for Zen 3.

Guess we need to know the latter then from AMD, before recommenations of xyz.
Do you (anyone) think AMD will suggest a ‘sweet spot’ RAM for Zen 3 before 5th Nov?

 

[Roadrunner_668]

so who said it was 4000?

 

[Mr Oblong]

For high street retailers it would normally be between 25% to 35%.

Totally variety by product, I'd be surprised to see OCUK make as much as 30% on average.

Some marketing slide, one that also said'good luck', lol
