AMD’s Ryzen 3000 Series Announced: This is it, fellas

It is probably worth waiting for third party benchmarks to confirm that the test conditions were all fair, and finding out how far each can overclock - a 5GHz+ intel cpu probably still has the single threaded lead - but I'm at the point where my next build will probably be AMD. Intel really have fucked it with how much of a lead they had to now.
If the slides are to be believed, in Cinebench R20, the 3800X is beating the 9900K in single-thread performance (by 3%). This would be a situation the 9900K is boosting to 5GHz, so the face-value takeway is that AMD has significantly improved their IPC and is doing at 4.5GHz what Intel can do at ~5.1GHz. pretty impressive.
Obviously I'm sure there are edge cases where Intel Core still beats Ryzen (Float perf has doubled, but no word on int), but this is great.
Just bought a 2600 as well after the second speculative execution glitch was announced. I don't really regret it - got a Prime B450, 16GB of Vengeance and the 2600 for £280. I'm sitting on a 970 OC and not expecting to replace so not entirely worried about the new gen. Only frustrating thing is the old gen prices might have dropped.
You're assuming that the core was boosting to 5+ the whole time, and we don't know the rest of the setup or even the actual numbers - the scale isn't labelled. I'm not saying it's not impressive, and Intel's reign is well and truly over, just don't trust 1st party benchmarks as gospel. I expect 3rd party benchmarks will show it being very tight, though, which works for AMD.
Looks like the 3700x will be my next CPU. My i5 2500k is a bit on the older side and this is a good time to modernize.
And then there's the performance penalty on Intel CPUs with HT, with performance hits of up to 40% (Apple's high estimate for their patches' effects).
Intel really needs to refactor their architecture/build a new one, but while they're stuck trying to work out 10nm fabrication they're basically unable to do ANYTHING except try and squeeze more performance out of Core chips while convincing consumers they're not just buying last year's chip +5% clock freq.
Hopefully I can swap out the i7 8750h hexcore my laptop came with, these look nice
Not sure how you're going to manage a laptop motherboard swap to have an AMD CPU socket and have it fit perfectly. On a desktop, sure, easy.
You'll uhh, need to buy a different laptop most likely...
awwwwww
You can't upgrade the CPU in your laptop at all, that CPU is soldered to the motherboard
And even if it wasn't, that Intel socket is not going to take an AMD CPU and laptop motherboards are custom-fit.
I can't wait to finally upgrade my pc. It desperately needs one as I'm still on a 8350. I just hope that the new Navi graphics cards turn out to be just as good since I'm in dire need of a total rebuild
Rest in piss Intel, this is what you get for hiking up prices all this time while not actually doing anything.
This is the last gen before you need a new motherboard yeah? I'm still using Gen 1 Ryzen so I'm looking to grab this last generation to try and make it as far as I can.
If you have a Gen 1 mobo you may not be able to a 3000 series CPU, check with your vendor for BIOS updates that say new processor support before trying to upgrade.
I'm still gonna be stuck with an i7-4790k for a while mostly due to budget reasons, but man I definitely know I'm jumping to AMD on my next upgrade.
12 core 4.6 500 doleridoos aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
why did I buy a.... 9700k
please don't laugh
Where did you hear this? There was an article on pcgamer that debunked that and listed motherboards that will receive the update.
They may still block the top of the line Ryzen chips though.
When the 9700K was brand new, Ryzen was a rising star but it wasn't exactly competitive with Intel except if you were looking for a budget CPU that could still get close to Intel's performance. I wouldn't laugh.
Now, if you bought a 9900K after the repeated rumours and "leaks" about Zen 2, and you didn't buy it because of very specific needs (e.g. high-intensity scientific simulations or because you're a gamedev and need compiles to be fast as fuck), I'm gonna laugh. If you bought a 9900K after the reveal, I'm really gonna laugh.
And if anyone committed to buying the 9900KS, before Intel's even given specs or pricing, after the Ryzen 3xxx reveals? I'm never going to stop laughing.

Again, check with your vendor, you will need a BIOS update. It's up to them to make the update.
This only confirms what was said in the article. Not all motherboards will get it but the vast majority will.
Will probably upgrade from my 1700 for this. Really liked it the past few years I've had it
My i7-5820K is starting to show its age in single core performance. I think a top tier Ryzen 3 would be delicious.
Now if only AMD produces something to compete with current gen Ti cards.
I bought it maybe a month ago.
I deserve the laughs. I had perfectly good Ryzens that were equivalent of this 9700k, at cheaper prices aswell, but the whole... whatever it is that always makes people go intel, kind of got in the way.
Again.
Thank you for your honesty, my son. Admitting your sins is the first step on the path to redemption.
Go home and say ten Hail Lisas and your sins will be absolved. You're still gonna have to buy a Ryzen CPU sometime, this is a Confession joke, not silicon alchemy.
