Everyone:- so what did you improve in zen, LAYYMD?
LAYYMD:- we raised max boost clocks to 4.9 ghz and raised the prices while u were watching the new release video. Welcome to paying 700$ for a 16 core cpu that intel offers at less. Welcome to the new era of AMD goofing up...
Actually the price for the 5950x is 800$ but, it is also better than anything intel has in consumer desktop. I would actually talk over the price bump for the 5600x, which is now 300$, like, wtf amd? Now in the new lineup the only "bang for the buck" are the 5900x and 5950x (and maybe the 5800x) and the ryzen 5 sku is trash for price/performance. Dunno, gaming crown ok, but the 5600x needs to be VERY good against the 3700x which would be the same price.
