They have not released any benchmarks for the 3950X as of yet, but in terms of gaming, here is how their 12 core 3900X fairs according to their numbers:

I'd expect slightly higher numbers than these considering the single core boost is 100mhz higher.

The 5700 XT is set to compete with the RTX 2070 and the 5700 against the RTX 2016.
An RTX 2070 currently costs ~$500 and the RTX 2060 about ~$350 for comparison.

I said it before and I said it again, I'm just waiting for Intel (or those paid off by them) to release benchmarks with security vulnerability patches disabled, just to say that they are "unequivocally" better.

You can get already a RTX 2060 for $320 and 2070 for $480. And this is before Nvidia's rumored price drops and "Super" variants.

This is just Vega and Polaris all over again, marginally better at best, but not enough to make consumers pay attention.

According to this reddit thread, AMD apparently didn't turn mitigations on for their comparisons.

I want that 3950X but oof $749

[🆒☑🤡]

Yeah, it's threadripper pricing.

AMD really has no reason to drop their price per core, since they are already crushing Intel in that regard. It's best to just keep the margins high until Intel makes a comeback.

The fact the the R9 3900X apparently beats the 9900K in CS:GO of all things goes to show that AMD's really stepped up the single-core performance with Ryzen 2

And they really need it. AMD isn't doing too hotly financially as far as I know

I wanna see some punishing games, like Assassin's creed Odyssey or Hitman 2. AC:O runs awfully on Zen, so it's gonna be interesting to see if their improvements have helped a lot here.

I think they're getting there and it's amazing. Offering $450 for a PCIe4 8GB GDDR6 card when the competition is $480 for PCIe3 and less memory.

Also, they chose the best results on the graphics API, which is also a win, because Vega used to run much better on Vulkan than Nvidia. Seeing them keep up with Nvidia even with DirectX is a decent achievement.

I’m probably picking up the 5700. I’m just a little miffed that it’s using the Vega reference cooler instead of the new one but oh well.
yes i need the blower because I use a ITX case

PCIe bandwidth doesn't matter at this performance level outside of purpose made PCIe stress tests.
