Is this the new CPU king?
The more you live, less you die. More you play, more you die. Isn't it great.
it certanly looks like it is the new Leader of the Pack.
And soooo many people can upgrade to it, using their current board and ram
105W.... quite quite amazing

How is needing a high-quality cooler a bad? xD
I mean, I guess you need something to put in a bad, lol!
Hats of to AMD, I'm very impressed with what they have managed to do.
Guess my next pc is going to be a ryzen based.
well when looking at the numbers in general 1-2 FPS etc. and there about and os forth. definately going for the highest END, but the ceapest price of course, meaning AMD would win currently and by a huge margain, I don't know... Intel products currenly CPU wise more or less seem like expensive space heaters or something.
3950X should last a good few years before I need to upgrade again.
Glad I went a bit overbudget with the X570 board now.
None of those CPUs look unplayable, even the 3400G. Happy with the results from my 3700X though, happy I didn't wait or pay more.
Honestly all this review does is cement my view that I'll be going AMD next.
It also shows just how badly the situation is in games when it comes to multithreading, considering just how long we've been going along the direction of more cores on cpu's you'd have thought that they'd have developed better scaling in their code, it seems that it's still stuck at around 8 threads....
I assume it's the fact that you need to buy one on top of the cost of the chip, rather than getting a cooler included as part of the retail package? I don't think I've got any high quality AM4 coolers just lying around, so I'd need to budget for one if I was going to do a 3950X build (which I'm not, but....)
:sigh:Want the best-possible IPC for light-load tasks? Intel Core remains the way to go. AMD, however, has made significant strides into increasing its own IPC, and it's immediately telling that the 16C32T Ryzen 9 3950X is actually the fastest AMD chip in the extensive line-up.
Honestly it's bordering on misinformation that Hexus still insists on throwing this line into CPU reviews, based off a single weird benchmark. Why is any feedback based on this consistently ignored? If you like having your own obscure benchmark, fine, but lets not pretend it's something it isn't, and maybe at least put another worthwhile benchmark in? Because as it stands, the quoted statement is demonstrably untrue, given you mention 'light load tasks', not specifically this light-load task you happen to have chosen. The implied extrapolation is just wrong.
Zen2 manages to score ahead of Skylake even in some single or lightly-threaded applications, and of course Intel remains ahead in some but the difference tends to be small either way, and implying Pifast is somehow representative of 'single threaded performance' as a whole is disingenuous at best.
On the other hand I've noticed Hexus seem to have been calculating efficiency based on measured power draw rather than relying on TDP numbers which makes far more sense. Sure it still has potential drawbacks e.g. variations based on other system components and the application used for loading, but provided a consistent test platform is used, it's a useful relative measurement.
I don't think I've bought and used a retail cooler for ages. Used one or two in a few builds I've done for others, but I can't say I've used a stock cooler myself for years (actually decades). Thinking back I think my last stock cooler was for the Celeron 300A (a CPU launched in the 1990s!).
