What? I thought AMD presented some new processors recently? (aside videocards)

Let me guess, they'll compare it to a 3800x even though the 3900xt is the price similar chip. (Kind of like how the 3700x is the price similar chip to the 5600x but they compare it to the 3600x. Admittedly for gaming it looks like it beats everything.)Looking for 5800x vs 3900xt gaming comparisons at 4k, going to get a pre-order in for 5800x but might end up cancelling it.
lol no, this is their business model. They’ll hold your money the entire time.Pre-ordered 5950 at BH. Hopefully, they're not taking more pre-orders than they have stock.
I meant the 3900x instead of the 3900xt but I am sure GN will have enough data for me, ordered the 5800x via Scan, now to check the reviews,Let me guess, they'll compare it to a 3800x even though the 3900xt is the price similar chip.

That makes sense. I saw a video, maybe by AMD, where they went over the chip layout and basically said the IO section of the 3000 and 5000 of these chips has remained the same so I'd expect the same memory performance. (One big improvement is that you don't have to go through the IO section to get from one group of 4 cores to the other group of either 2 or 4 cores.)For anyone looking at RAM, don't go chasing 4000MHz folks. Sweet spot still seems to be the same as Zen2 (3600/3733), despite prior rumours.
5900x sold out almost immediately on Newegg, then the site kept resetting the purchase process every time I went to submit payment on a 5800x, now both are sold out. Amazon doesn't even have a page for either processor by the looks of it. FML.

Indeed it does - but this alongside how fast renoir can go, there was some hope that substrate changes or other refinements would improve it.That makes sense.

Probably over 200 people in line now. I'm amazed at the amount of people here. There is a frys near by and wonder what they have.
I think you can buy direct from AMD as well. Try these:

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Review
The Ryzen 9 5900X dominates Intel's Core i9-10900K in our testing because of AMD's massive IPC improvements. At $550, this processor is certainly not cheap, but it offers so much more performance, especially single-threaded, that AMD has a clear winner on their hands.www.techpowerup.com
For anyone wondering whether you need one of these for 4K gaming... you can get 99.8% of the performance with a 3300X lol
okay yeah good point. I’m having a look at their numbers now. They seem to be all over the place for the lowest 1%I would say it depends on how well you tolerate the lowest 1% of frames.
Looking at Eurogamers review, the 5800x vs 3300x average frame are 78.2 vs 76.4, but the lowest 1% measure is 76.2 vs 44.3 meaning that you're 3300x is going to be dropping below 60fps and can't hold on to it a solid frame rate. If that doesn't bother you, then don't upgrade.
For myself, I find it very annoying when I'm playing something at a great frame rate and a game stutters like that. I don't find even gsync to be suitable to over come that.

I tried new egg at first. It showed up but was only available in these Gamestop-esque combos. Complete BS. I took my money to microcenter.Sigh. Couldn’t grab the 5900X despite being up and refreshing. Fuck Newegg for telling me to use the app. Never showed up.
I managed to get a 5800X and 5600X, though, via the website. Neither has shipped yet. Guess I’m stuck with the 5600X since there’s no return policy. I’ll probably contact AMEX for return protection.
Anyone with a spare 5900X order? Happy to sell my 5600X to someone here if the 5800X order pans out.
Why do you think it's worthless? you got an x570 or b550 mobo?Grabbed a 5800x, now off to sell my 3600. Damn this upgrade is worthless, stupid new tech hype
Hopefully 'next-gen' brings optimization for multiple cores/threads
Ryzen will be dominant for at least a year. We'll see how good Intel's 10nm is, in a years time. After that, it will most likely be Intel 7nm vs Ryzen 5nm.
Future is bright for AMD... Top CPU and starting to challenge nvidia. All new next gen consoles... TSMC wins in all of thisthey need more capacity
