Eh whatever it is will put another nail in intel - especially if its rumored they can hit 5ghz - should be interesting.

Shit, I was thinking they were doing the Ryzen announcement later in the month.

This is for the Zen 3, the announcement on Oct 28th is for RDNA 2 (GPUs).

19% IPC over previous gen. Availability Nov 5.

Good prices but not enough to make me upgrade from 3900x

So will these also be scalped by @China Bat Soup ? Or available at release for all, haven't followed a cpu release ever.

It is a solid boost all around, but I'll sit this one out.

5950x with the MSi x570 Scalper Edition

I will wait for 3rd party benchmarks - still debating between new Ryzen or Intel 10600, 700, or 900k for a gaming rig (still running a 4790k). Not going to upgrade my 3950x though on my main. As a quick data point, I get ~510 on Cinebench r20 single core on my 3950x, with a balanced one core (4.4)/ all core (4.0) config (IF=1800) compared to the 631 from that shot above. Keep in mind my one core OC could be tuned better but that is still a decent jump.

Not even worth OCing ryzen honestly.

Seems ~3600Mhz ram is staying near optimal, power consumption & TDP aren't changing very much if at all. So board, memory, cooling, and PSU wouldn't need an upgrade from Zen2.

5900x outperforming a 10900k at near everything, often using less than half the power, while being cheaper is a big oof for Intel.

Yeah overclocking has been super marginalized by AMD clocking itself based on temp, each generation reducing what you can achieve. Wish you could alter maximum precision boost.

Also doesn't help that they were giving you a good chiplet paired with a shitlet
