Ryzen 7 3700X 12/24 4.2GHz 5.0GHz 105W $329


i am honestly curious as to how intel will handle this as competition.

12(24) cores at 4ghz up to 5ghz for a mere $330. extremely tempting if it has solid singlecore and multicore performance.


and its in budget of practically any consumer.

Absolutely if AMD reaches anywhere near to these numbers good days for PC gamers will be back as Intel has to respond and pricey CPS won't help them either.

I'll wait and see how things actually perform.

BUT, I'm surprised they didn't look to push out an 8c/16t at 5.1-5.2GHz boost for, say $250-$300 or so.
Looks like it could be doable at ~105W TDPs, and would go head-to-head with Intel.

They're knocking it out of the park, but pushing cores to 12/24 or 16/32 is pushing cores/threads just because they can.
The vast majority of consumers don't need/want to spend $500 for 5GHz clocks....... drop the core count to something more 'mainstream'
Rival a 9900K on cores/threads and clock speed, and force Intel to do something substantial.

True competition, that's what I want to see.
