[SOLVED] keep my ryzen 9 3900x and or wait for ryzen 4000s series

[YouKnov]

So I just got the Ryzen 9 3900x* and was wondering if I should return it - which I only have 4 days left for - and wait the 1-2 months for Ryzen 4000s series or keep my stuff.

Some info on what I currently need the CPU for in amount ratio 5:2:

• gaming (everything from Civilization 6 to Battlefield 5 with RTX)
• productive work in Unreal Engine, Blender and Adobe After Effects

Current "CPU setup":

• Ryzen 9 3900x
• ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F Gaming
• G,Skill Ripjaws V 3200
• be quiet! System Power B9 600W (I will be changing it soon due to the missing 4-Pin power thingy for the motherboard (it needs an 8-Pin and a 4-Pin on the EATX12V))

Backup "CPU setup":

• i7 8700
• MSI H310M Pro-D

Also, I'm not even sure if it will be worth getting the 4000s series, and if keeping my current stuff and waiting for 5000s series would be better.


*I used it for one day in a round of Overwatch, some osu! and maybe an hour or two in GTAV

I'd just keep the 3900x and upgrade in the future when the 5000-series comes around.
The 3900x is a really good cpu for any task you throw at it pretty much.
With an 3900x you really dont need to upgrade your cpu for a good 3years imo.

But if you dont mind waiting and money isnt an issue it sure is a good option to return it and buy the newer one when it comes around.

3900 is a beast, you are good to go for a longggg time.

So you just bought it and are wondering if you should keep it?

I would.

Is it as fast as the 9700K/9900k/10700K/10900K in average FPS in pure gaming?

No, but, it's plenty fast....and 12 cores should be enough for 5 years, IMO...

(You can evaluate the next gen after it releases and wait for it's prices to drop 7-10 month later if the 10-15% bump is irresistable to you)

Aight thanks for the answers!

I'll be keeping the 3900x.
