I think the 1700X is going to be the one for me. I want top of the range, but I don't think I need the 1800X

8 cores and 16 threads for less than £400....please be true!
Factoring in the price of a new motherboard and ram, I think I will go with the 1700X and a stock cooler instead (which I can always replace later)
Depending what the reviews are like I am very tempted with 1700X and probably pair it with a Noctua NH-D15, although could be tempted with a Corsair H100 or H110 but then I'd need to buy another case to fit it in.
Hopefully UK prices won't be too far away from the GBP equivalent.
I'm expecting 1700x around £350 and 1800x around £450 (inc vat)
Maybe £20-40 more the first few weeks (or from gouging retailers)
That's .... optimistic. The $399/$499 prices will be excluding sales taxes, so once you add on 20% VAT & convert (using today's mid market rate of ~ 1.24$:£) you're already at ~ £385/£480. I'll be absolutely staggered if they don't land with UK RRPs of £399 and £499 including VAT.Quote:

and ocuk have 1800x for 488.and 1700x at 389..just within my prediction ;)
Looking forward to seeing what bundles with MOBO's come out to. Microcenter? I'm looking at you...
You were pretty close to the Amazon pre-order pricing of £320, £390, £490 :)Quote:

Yes, I'm more slightly off-balance than staggered ;) Rather pleased that they've not been rounded up to the nearest hundred. And £320 for the 1700 looks a great price for anyone who does heavily-threaded workloads: if you're not fussed about overclocking you can get A320 boards with PCIe NVME slots for well under £80, which would make a very appealing subsystem...Quote:
