AMD Announces Ryzen 7 3700X, 3800X and Ryzen 9 3900X

Been watching youtube (hardware reviews), that are saying that a B450 mb will not work properly with a new 3000 chip. Also a couple said the 3700x would only have a 12 to 15 percent over the 2700vx. I know its youtube reviews.

 

My ASRock B450M has an updated BIOS supporting 3k series so it's probably not true. As far as speed goes the 2700X isn't that far behind a 9900K so it's possible that is true but faster memory support gives the 3k series an edge even if they were the same speed clock for clock.

 

There will lots of "Will / Will not / Could / Could not / Might / Might not / Maybe" until actual release. Youtubers make money on building hype and spreading rumors. People love them!

 

Thanks everyone. Is it possible to preorder the cpu and MB?

 

A wiser decision would be read to reviews when it released, see performance difference and what motherboards (chipset) has better price performance to pair with.

 

just order a 9900k setup ...guaranteed to be faster/cheaper.

and hey the motherboard doesn't need an integrated fan to keep it cool.

 

Cant wait AMD show your wrong. Only a mad man would buy an overpriced Intel system atm.

 

Let me just drop it here:

...Glad to see my bait still works!.........Go intel!.....

 

4.7 seems low.

 

That thing will smash a i9 9960x for more than half the price and half the power. Haha Intel this days...

 

AMD's 4.7Ghz with 12% IPC uplift = Intel's 5.25Ghz! how that is low?

 

because they can do 5ghz easily.

 

They need to save something for next CES/Computex .
For now all the good chips are going for EPYC and new TR.
IMO the 16C TR will got 5Ghz as the lowest core count TR3.

 

If they did a 5ghz 16c it would be a masacre.

 

they do 5ghz

 

Reminds me of the good old days with my DFI LAN Party and my trusty opteron 144.

They claim it confirmed.

 

Tgought about it, but really want to see what AMD has to offer. With that said like with all good hardware releases, will supply and demand be there. I remember when the 970 gpus were released. I tried day and night for weeks before I could get one and even then I didn't get the one I wanted.

What would I use a 8 or even 12 core cpu for? Isn't most games only use 4 or 6 core?

 

Wow, that really puts my 1950X to shame - 3.4 GHz base / 4.0 GHz boost @ 180 watts vs 3.5 GHz base / 4.7 GHz boost @ 105 watts (and that's not including the IPC improvements). Gotta wonder what next-gen Threadripper will look like?

Reminds of me a video I watched today - retesting the R5 1600 vs i5 7600K:

Despite a hefty clock speed disadvantage (3.9 GHz vs 4.8 GHz for the overclocked results), the 6c/12t R5 1600 is close to the 4c/4t i5 7600K in several games and completely outpaces it in several modern games, beating the i5 by up to 25% (Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Battlefield V and The Division 2). It really shows the importance of having more cores for modern games. If you are planning on keeping your CPU for a long time, then I would say a 6-core CPU is the bare minimum (8c+ would be ideal).
