I don't think we will see any non-X skusI'm a bit disappointed that no 5600 was announced. 5600x is $100 more and 3600 is out of stock here in Malaysia.
Think Vegeta pre time chamber in the cell saga to Vegeta saving the world from Cell via shooting him in the back while he was doing something else.So how much of an improvement is this? Explain in Dragon Ball Z power level plz
So I've been thinking about upgrading my CPU from a 2600x so it could handle a 3080 better, but it sounds like a 3700x is a better value than the 5600?? That can't be right...
30% gain on 1080p? I guess if you use 1080 it's good but like I wish we had numbers on 1440/4k.
So, the CPU will only increase your overall framerate in a scenarion where your game is CPU bottlenecked. So perhaps If you have an RTX 3090 and play at 4k, and your 4k framerate was CPU bottlenecked, then these CPUs would also help your framerate at 4k. It's also possible these CPUs could reduce hitching in games, reduce turn times in strategy games like Civilization, and will definitely future proof you more against CPU heavy next-gen games.
Note that bottlenecks in reality are variable, even from frame to frame. There are plenty of games where you can see in the chart that you've "hit the GPU bottleneck", but that the chart is still sorted into the expected CPU heirarchy, just with 0.5-1 frame per second differences between them. Because some small portion of the benchmark is CPU bound, while most of it is GPU bound.
Urghh...I'm hoping they would announce a 3600 successor as it's pretty much impossible to find one now.
Same though I paid 280 i'm good on upgrading for a while.
Will that cause the CPU to run at that speed 24/7?Mine has been great for 1440p and 4K gaming. Just overclock it to 4.2GHZ.
I have a 2600. I just bought an ultrawide monitor. Would it make sense to upgrade to a 3600 for gaming?
I understand why some are upset over the $50 price increase but to say AMDs performance claims are disappointing is baffling.
The price hike is just way too high.Curious on the 5600x benchmarks from my 2700x. I like that power draw, just wish it was 8 cores instead of 6.
People don't realize just how far behind AMD has been for gaming than Intel, so they see just a few percent better, and even 3% worse in one case, as disappointing. Now though for the most part AMD is on top, the best consumer cpu for gaming, for the first time in 14 years. But people were expecting some supercomputer that would completely blow Intel out of the water.I understand why some are upset over the $50 price increase but to say AMDs performance claims are disappointing is baffling.
Yeah I immediately got a 3700x after they announced these. $295 versus $449 for the 5800X. The performance increase is there but that's a large difference.So I'm about the 50th person in this thread that's happy to have bought a 3700X a few months ago. My B350 motherboard couldn't support these new chips anyway, so I'm quite content to put my cash towards a new GPU.
Please AMD, let Big Navi be competitive on price, performance and have the bloody thing available for purchase.
The price hike is insane. I used to love AMD for offering the best value for performance, but I certainly won't be upgrading this gen. I may go for a used 3700x instead.
I've been heavily critical of other companies for price hikes so I dont want to sound hyporcritical, but I'm baffled by these posts. 'Insane' price hike? How? Have you forgot what the launch prices were for Ryzen 3000? This is a $50 rise (this is a sizeable increase for the 5600X relative to what the 3600X cost but not for the other two SKUs). Insane would be a $150-200 increase on the 12-core or something. Or that they have the 2700X, 3700X and soon 5700X SKUs, or 5600?
Genuinely I'd like to know what's so shocking about a $50 increase, maybe I'm missing something :)
As the only 8 core offering available, $450 for the 5800X is terrible. Furthermore, the non-X variants have been abolished, so yes, $300 is also bad. Furthermore, the 5600X isn't going to be useful for too long, particularly as the next gen consoles feature 8 core CPUs.I've been heavily critical of other companies for price hikes so I dont want to sound hyporcritical, but I'm baffled by these posts.

The pricing for the 3000 series CPUs was excellent all around.
No on bought the 3600X or 3800X because they were bad value compared to the 3600 and 3700X. So the prince increase for the 5600X is 100$ and the 5800X 130$.
