    That's one more upgrade option than I got with my s1156 Intel system, and others since then. And that had been an Intel decision. People have repeatedly shown that it was possible for all the 115x variants to use the same sockets if Intel had wanted to. So I'm happy with one more refresh.

    AM4 will have lasted 4 years by then - I think that's pretty much a decent run. Memory issues, yes but pretty quickly sorted and now the platform is pretty mature to be fair. I don't get your comparison with 10c 20t processors. Win 10 now has very few issues with extra cores so if the frequency is similar you WILL see the difference. The issue is more to do with what you use your system for - games probably won't see any great improvement but a great deal of other software will. I still have a greater performance increase from changing to a decent nvme ssd for boot and swap file useage than a quicker cpu and with gen4 ssd's available now I reckon that's a bigger game changer for many coming from slightly older systems.

    If that turns out to be the lifespan of DDR4 on one socket, then I would say very well done AMD.

    This is supposed to be the year that DDR5 kicks in, and more bandwidth is handy to feed all those cores.

    Upgraded fron an i7 4790K to a Ryzen 1700X OC'd to 4Ghz - The day it got released. Rock solid once paired with right memory. No issues at all
    Upgraded from 1700X to 3900X - Pulling my hair out with instability issues - Not CPU fault.

    The 5700XT is the root of all issues.
    Black screen of deaths. Cold boot issues. Games not loading. Games crashing with D3D errors. Cant play games whilst Chrome, Discord or anything else that uses GPU acceleration is on in parallel (Even when hardware acceleration is disabled, lottery for it working). Mostly affects games that uses Unreal engine like Mechwarriors 5 Mercenaries & Borderlands 3.

    I have got to the point where if i want to play a certain game, i have to select a certain driver which gives me least issues with that game resulting in compromises like:
    Install driver version X for game Y but HDMI audio will randomly cut out
    Install driver version A for game B but disable all advanced features in graphics driver settings resulting in crashes to desktop (Instead of hard crashes requiring PC reset)

    In between each driver install i HAVE to run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) or else it doesn't work.
    The 5700XT was a warranty replacement for my Vega VII which was solid until the displayport went funky.

    So in summary:
    AMD Processors = Awesome
    AMD Graphics = Never seen it so bad ever

    Hi... this is allegedly the pricing for the R7 SKUs which are going to be released first, if it's accurate, it's going to really kick Intel in the nuts because the 1700x looks to really be able to beat the current i7 Kaby Lake parts when it comes to multi-threaded programs. Remember, for a quad core Intel chip at $340-350, you can double the cores and threads for $40-50 more. While these cores might be a bit slower than the Intel cores, overall, the 8c/16t 1700x should handily smack the quad core i7 around.

    I do believe that there might just be an auto-bot generated post given it's bizarre timeline etc. Duly reported. Man I wish I was a mod sometimes.
