Ryzen 1 and 2 were nearly maxed out at their turbo boost with no headroom.
We’ll have to wait and see, but I am not holding my breath.
My opinion on the lineup:
3700x $329
3800x $399
3900x $499
They have nothing about the biggest most important segment, the Ryzen 5 lineup. I guess that came after the 7 originally, too. So no harm, no foul.
3700x might be worth it. The 3800x seems like a waste, if overclocking is there on the 3700x like it was for the 1700 was. Unless of course they are so tightly binned and so limited in frequency headroom (like Ryzen 1 and 2) you need to pay out to get the frequency.
Ryzen 9 3900x is overkill for 99% of users. The fact it gives you 50% more cores for the same price as the 9900k, doesn’t really matter since most people weren’t going to buy 9900ks anyway.
Personally, none of these are compelling. Give me a Ryzen 5 6/12 at 4.5ghz for $199 then we’ll talk.
Not counting the outlier of PCIE 4.0 (on synthetics only and which will go away when intel releases their next boards), the difference in performance between like-core count Ryzen 3 and coffeelake is LESS than the original Ryzen 1 and Coffeelake.
So…yeah it will still be the better pick over intel (presently), but it doesn’t blow it out of the water.
12/24? useless for 99% of users.
I want to see how competitively they price the Ryzen 5 series.
Knowing Ryzen, if 3700x can OC to 4.8 GHz then theres no need for Intel for productivity
The ryzen 9 3900x kills Intel HEDT for $500 by it alone
If the ryzen 5 3600 can OC the same as the Ryzen 7s then theres no need for Intel for gaming
and if the 3dmark benchmark is the same in gaming benchmarks thanks to Navi PCIe 4.0 then Intel and Nvidia are in trouble mostly Intel because no support of 4.0
If gaming benchmarks at launch goes well, I expect more people recommending Ryzen through out this summer/fall I hope
and then maybe I can voice my opinion and nothing can be said about it
As Kagthul has said, most of us have already been recommending Ryzen 2000 over Intel.
This really changes nothing, except we change Ryzen 7 2700x to Ryzen 7 3700x.
I also find the synthetic benchmark using PCIE 4.0 very funny, which isn’t really an exclusive thing, It’s just that AMD got there first. Intel will be there.
nah, its more of the fact that I voiced out AMD 2 years ago on the old threads and got targeted for it, especially when OPs were asking for builds at their budgets and I met their budget with ryzen, while majority were trying to recommend Intel for $100-$150+more, or even lower end parts even though Ryzen was the better buy, because you can’t tell someone to save $100 more when you don’t know what their finances are
wasn’t just me some others who suggested Ryzen also got targeted on the old threads, like the guy who runs a youtube channel, forgot his name
Now here we are where AMD is close/at Intel’s level, where Ryzen may actually be a better recommend on these forums. Its ironic is all im saying
I mean the r7 3800x just matched the i9 9900k in single thread. Except the r7 3800x was clocked at 4.5ghz single core boost and the i9 9900k 5.0ghz single core boost. That’s a 10% ipc lead over Intel. Clocks can come with binning Kagthul, as your process matures, and you make more and more chips you will also get better clocks.
How do you think Intel was able to achieve those high clocks?
