"Kill the body and the head will die"
OMG I am scared to read the article now!
Weird you didn't include the 3700X in your tests, since that is the competing previous gen AMD chip wrt to price. From what I gather, the 5600X is just as fast as the 3700X in multi-threaded workloads, despite having two less cores, and significantly faster in single-threaded tests (as expected). So going from an 8 core chip to a 6 core chip is an actual upgrade!
The way I remember it even the most hardcore AMD fans were all like wait for the revision because the first one is going to have issues.What I find amusing about Zen 3 is the fact that when we were looking at Zen 1 from AMD nobody thought it robbery to pay Intel the much higher prices it was asking for its CPUs then, as opposed to now... The refrain was always, "You have to pay more to get more performance" and the Intel zombies were happy to pay it.
Well everybody wished for a price war to get going but because AMD doesn't have enough volume to create a price war they settled on making more money per CPU.Now that AMD has the best/fastest CPUs, some people balk at a mere $50 difference over Zen 2, even though during Zen1 and especially before Zen 1, the same folks--some of them anyway--were cheerfully paying Intel a lot more for a lot less! The "Zen 2 was a bargain but Zen 3 is way overpriced" crowd seems like much ado about nothing.
1)It's what they know and are familiar with. Some folks are real adamant about change.so why would anyone buy an intel chip right now at a much higher system cost???
the point he was making terrylaze, was the FACT that no one complained about intel charging what they did for their cpus when intel had the performance crown. now that AMD has that crown, no matter how much of a pro intel cherry picked spin you always put on it to make your beloved intel appear better, people are crying fowl left right and center that AMD is now asking a bit more for their cpus now that they have that crown.Also single core was much higher on intel so paying more if you used that more was valid.
Well then that whole point is wrong because everybody was and still is complaining about the prices being too high.the point he was making terrylaze, was the FACT that no one complained about intel charging what they did for their cpus when intel had the performance crown.
whos prices being to high?Well then that whole point is wrong because everybody was and still is complaining about the prices being too high.
have you not seen the comments for the reviews for Ryzen 5000 ? look at all the people complaining amd raised the prices for those chips. i sure dont recall any one doing the same with intels prices."Most" are having a cow? Maybe according to you... I accept and respect their choice, but wouldn't have made the same.
you sure ? look what intel was charging for their cpus before zen was released compared to what you got.For all of human history (OK transistor history) price, over time, has not increased because performance has.
What are you smoking? 3000 to 10000? 3960x is $1399 on release and has 24 cores, compared to 14 for your 10940x. Zen 3 equivalent won't be that different, so how you calculated this 3000k starting price? You want 64 cores from amd on the price of 14 intel's cores?Good to see AMD making progress. I would love to switch to AMD. As much as I hate Intel I feel trapped.
I have a need of more than 16 PCIe lanes. I have 10G nics, raid cards, additional sata ports, double/triple M.2 drives and more across several PCs. So I'm stuck with HEDT. My current system cost A$2300 with a 10940x ($1399) and Creator X299 mobo ($899). An upgrade to AMD's ThreadRipper is anywhere from A$3,000 to A$10,000 depending on which chip, which motherboard and whether my existing RAM will work.
AMD may have the performance crown on HEDT, but from a price perspective it's largely not affordable.
I do have a couple of mainstream systems too.
The 5600x is anywhere up to A$550. A decent X570 motherboard could set me back as much as A$1300. Although the middle of the range seems to be about A$700 - A$800. Taking the median pricing I'd be up for A$1300 per PC.
An Intel upgrade is going to cost me about $1200 and get me 10core/20 thread.
But the 5600x @ 6 cores "wrecks" the 10900K @ 10 cores for about A$100 more?
I think I'm going to start saving to upgrade the few mainstream PCs I do have to AMD
Good Review
Yes my bad, now I checked the price of 10940x. I didn't read his post after first paragraph and I thought he talking for USD.usiname, i think he may be referring to AUS $, hence the A in front of the prices, considering the 64 core TR is $ 5400 Cdn just for the cpu......

@$300 I could drive to local Microcenter and buy a 9900K which humiliated the 5900x and thus by inference every AMD CPU in 13 game average in TH review of the 6800xt. Did I mention it would drop into my existing z390 motherboard which supports up to 4400 OC memory and would love my existing H115i AIO cooler.AMD's Ryzen 5 5600X wrecks Intel's Comet Lake lineup in gaming and applications, but for only $300.
