Ryzen 3 & X570

[MYstIC G]

Some of the stuff coming out about this is making it look pretty darn interesting. Especially the PCIe 4.0 bits. AMD Ryzen 3000 Announced: Five CPUs, 12 Cores for $499, Up to 4.6 GHz, PCIe 4.0, Coming 7/7

Circa 5GB/s M.2 drives anyone? Corsair Announces MP600 M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD Compatible with AMD X570

Feels like Intel is about to take a bit of a back seat for a while, unless they've got something hidden away?

Dicks out, to be honest.

Their are a few downsides to ryzen 3000 series:

1. The southbridge ( or whatever its called on these boards ) draws around 11w , and peaks at 15. That means most boards are using fans to cool it, extra heatsink/cost.
2. The PCIE 4 stuff is expensive.
3. Way more usb options on boards - usb 3.1, 3.0.

These boards are going to be more expensive than previous AM4 series boards.
There are £1000 high end boards w/ integrated water cooling though....

I'd guess instead of basic consumer boards being £60-100 they move into the £100-150 ish range.

That said, the £500 cpu beats intels equivalent £1000 cpu, and the R5 3600x is a fucking insane monster for £250.

Intel is gonna have to slash pricing on their high end 9K's just to compete. Good info below.

Looks like Intel might just go to the mat this generation, so potential wins all around

Intel dropping desktop CPU prices by up to 15% on the eve of AMD Ryzen 3000

Love a bit of competitive consumer goodness

Time to Ryzen shine, Intel: AMD has started shipping 7nm desktop CPUs like it's no big deal

Put a 3700x in my B350 board today, no probs.
Might have to upgrade the stock cooler though, not sure if I got a dodgy one or what but temps a bit higher than I'd like and default fan curves are ass.

What did you have before and how much of a difference has it made?

1700 w/ mild Oc to 1700x levels, +35%-50 FPS or so in the games I play.
Obv the 1700 was bottlenecking, but now the GPU will be.
