What? The 10700k is an 8 core part like 5800x. Disappointed? The single core gains appear to be massive, and amd already was better power-wise.

Everyone worried about prices needs to remember they'll fall like they always do with amd cpus

You're right, I was crossing the 5800X with the 5600X.

I still really want to see the benches. The 5800X at +20% IPC should bring it mostly in line with the 10700K for gaming, at least on paper. But it'll be more expensive, so it'll need to have some performance wins there to justify itself.

Yeah it was fairly "quick" last time.

I guess a 5970X would show up with 32C/64T, 3.8 GHz base, 4.7 GHz boost?

Also, on pricing... I mean, I don't know if it's 2600K days again, but that CPU is what I'm typing this on and 10 years is a great run. Kinda shrug on the price if it will last another decade, honestly.

e: Ehh, ok, so the 2600K cost me $329.99 and mobo $189.99 in January 2011. Things have definitely gotten pricier. ~$500 for 10 years.

This yeah, my 4770K has been trucking easy, but it's going to be bottlenecking any modern GPU now.

Isn't Intel just scheduled to pinch off another shitass 14nm++++++++ product in March 2021 or something?

Yeah these prices are gonna be high a while.

Rocket Lake is still technically on 14nm, but it's a new architecture based on "backporting" the 10nm Tiger Lake design. It's probably going to be competitive, but the fact that it's going to be five months after Zen 3 means, yeah, AMD can make bank for a while

Yeah they raised the prices a decent amount.

Would've been great if they hadn't but AMD has never been shy about charging more if they actually have a solid performance lead.

Still they're not gouging too horribly here at least and a ~19% IPC boost is a pretty big deal. Very nearly as big of a jump as Sandy Bridge was able to achieve years ago.

I think they leaked a benchmark where the 5800X beats the 10900K so I wouldn't assume parity there.

The 5950X graph at the end had it narrowly beating the 10900K in games, so I dunno if the 5800X will be able to pull it off with the lower clock. Who knows until reviews though, obvi.

Considering the levels of console performance / their Zen 2 pedigree, this is IMO the perfect generation to buy as it's technically "ahead" a generation and should remain contemporary with the upcoming console generation.

Assuming that PS5 / Xbox don't start dropping SoC upgrades every 2-3 years, in which case, this post will have aged... poorly.

It is straight up gouging and they aren't batting an eye over it. The 100+ dollar price increases across the stack is pure profit.

I wouldn't put it past consoles to start making GBS threads out new sub-generation upgrades every 24 months after what we've seen of the PS4 Pro and whatever they call the Xbox equivalent. Gotta fight that Tendency of Rate of Profit to Fall!

Masks are expensive so I'm hoping it's not every 24 months...though I guess since chiplets are the rage now, you could maybe push out a GPU-upgraded model relatively easily while not mucking with your CPU and other custom bits.

I don't think I would call a 50$ MSRP bump over the previous generation "gouging", but it's not exactly surprising with the complete lack of anything new from Intel in, well, forever.

If it all it offered was some sort of pissant performance increase that mostly existed on paper and not so much in the real world like the some the *lake upgrades were I'd agree with you 100% and call it gouging and a rip off too.

As is I think the prices are higher than they should be but not absurd BS either. If they came down a little across the board, even like $20-40, it'd be fine. A $100 decrease would be awesome of course...but like I said before AMD isn't shy about pricing high if they actually have a performance lead.

New yeah, they'll try to keep prices up for at least a few months. Should be a decent number of people selling their 3xxx Ryzens used for a decent discount though.

The real question is do they have actual stock to meet demand.

Its single core of nearly 600 is killer for games.

So long as you're not using an A520 motherboard, you can use PPT limiting to set the wattage to anything you want. I run my 3900Xs at 75W.

AMD bought out ~30% of TSMC's 7nm wafer production, I think more than double than what they had for Zen2, so IN THEORY they should be able to have plenty of supply.

The gotchas to that is going to be timing (I wouldn't be surprised if some models that are in high demand are scarce for 1-3 months like last time) and which market they really try to target with volume. Obviously AMD can make money off the DIY market but I think what they really want to go after is the server market and those EPYC's can use a whole lotta dies depending on the model.

I guess this is all ok if having Intel wave their dick in your face every time you bought a CPU was ok. Except it is now AMD.

This is just like how Nvidia made it look like the 3080 was 'cheap'. They simply kept inflated prices until we took it as the norm.

So which one is going to be the CPU for gamers? I'm definitely pawning off my 3700x for a Zen 3. I don't want to hear about 10700s and 10900s being better ever again.

I think the 5900 is the one to get for maximum FPS right? Because the 5950 probably occupies the same CPU equivalent slot as the RTX 3090...

After all the updates and whatnot calmed down, turbo speeds hit just as advertised, but at least in my own personal case it was heavily dependent on temperature. I was/am using a silence focused case and the NH-D15 I was using didn't really keep the chip cool enough to let it attain max boost.

One Arctic 280 AIO later, and I was getting the exact boost I was supposed to, with no temps hitting above 60 c.
