I'm interested to see how the 3d cache variants perform against the standard 5000 series chips, but I won't be replacing mine any time soon.
Is the 3700X not cutting it anymore?!
Looks very very smart. For gaming I think it'll be hard to beat, though it'll probably cost the same as the next chip up.
Knowing how much the 5000 series cost over the 3000 series,I shudder to think how much the 6000 series will cost and the motherboards.
Also,as nice as all these high end variants are,I really am interested in what is available under £300.
There seems to me to be quite a bit of movement in that area promised for later this year.
My worry is two fold - quite when, and in what quantity, and how much of recent announcements is marketing gobblydegook smoke and mirror technobabble, and how much will translate into real-world significant changes, either at high, low or .... errr .... middle 'end'.
I will want to see a tuckload of third-party tests before deciding.
A lesson learned from PeterB about dignity in adversity, so Peter, In Memorium, "Onwards and Upwards".
Honestly, the 3700X is working just fine for me. But I do max it out all the time when I'm working, so some more performance would be nice even if it isn't really necessary. OTOH one of my kids is on a 2200G still, and I think they would really benefit from a 3700X because I'm not going to buy them the 5000 series am I
R9 5950x and i9 9900 in my main rigs
Double post
I had a lot of pain with the 1x00 and 2x00 series Ryzen chips - as much as I really wanted to love them, I just couldn't. The R5 3600 was great though and the i9 9900 does everything I need.
The 5950x is complete overkill for me, but the price was great and I had money burning a hole in my pocket, and it was definitely more want than need.
Looking interesting but I doubt I will be swapping out my current board/ram soon with DDR5 prices etc. but I am keeping an eye on the 5 series to upgrade from my 3700x, not due to needing it but being a final destination for my setup, prices could be effected but also intel are putting pressure on again.
The 5800x3D does look very interesting.
If I could order them from Amazon, they might be!!
The really messed up thing is I stripped down the R9 rig at the weekend and it's sitting in a box, awaiting it's new home; which might not arrive until March!
If I had a suitable case for the R9 to sit in right now, the 9900 chip and ITX board would be up on Ebay this weekend.
