Are new mother boards launching as well? If I buy a mother board I'd prefer a completely new one than a compatible one from a year ago.

Daily driver issues - even after replacing the GPU with another model. Still daily crashes/black screens etc., even reinstalled OS. Went back to nVidia and literally ALL issues went away just like that. My 3900X and its X570 mobo are working pretty well, though. Their GPU's are just something I try to avoid at all costs, since all experiences have been full of unstability and other time-consuming nonsense. Curious how much these new CPU's improve gaming performance in reality, the top-tier model could be a really nice combo with an RTX 3080.

      Hanif Fikri, 09 Oct 2020Why everyone says AMD cheaper than Intel? I got mine i5 106... moreif not for AMD Ryzen we would have been stuck with 2-3% gains per year with intel

        Well Intel better release 11th gen soon or they gonna lose sales... :)

          Hanif Fikri, 09 Oct 2020Why everyone says AMD cheaper than Intel? I got mine i5 106... moreTill Ryzen arrived on the scene, Intel was shamelessly over pricing its processors. After Ryzen started grabbing markets their prices have come down quite a bit.

            "No stock cooler in the box...." 60$ more expensive...
            The progress isn't in the price...

              [deleted post]U mean for GPUs? Never had an issue, tho i heard of some complaints, they are improving. U probably have never used an amd cpu

                Hanif Fikri, 09 Oct 2020Why everyone says AMD cheaper than Intel? I got mine i5 106... moreWe'll see how much the 11th gen Intel Core i CPU would cost. To this day, I never see AMD CPU cost more than Intel CPU. Same story with GPU - I found a Sapphire Nitro+ 5700 XT for about $500. Equally-specced Nvidia cost more than that.

                  5800X "64GB OF L3 CACHE" LOL 😅🤣

                    Really curious to see how Zen 3 Ryzen Threadripper CPU would be.

                      Hanif Fikri, 09 Oct 2020Why everyone says AMD cheaper than Intel? I got mine i5 106... moreDid you get it second hand? Because the 3600X, which was last gen can be found for $210.

                        Well considering the 5950X has 72mb of l3 cache and the photo says that you might want to check your facts before you try to copy a slide. Sorry watched the key note and release so if you're going to post about it please post correctly.

                            They presumably think they can charge extra now cause finally they are the top dog in overall performance (st and mt) not intel.

                              fan boys rejoice!

                                Why everyone says AMD cheaper than Intel? I got mine i5 10600k for 275$ and im sure when R5 5600X arrive in my country it will be 350$+...

                                  [deleted post]1. CPU, not GPU, technically these don't have "drivers"
                                  2. The driver front of AMD's GPU's has improved significantly on Windows (it doesn't suck on Linux for the past decade)

                                      Amd now needs more OEM support for more products for consumers

                                      I would never buy an Intel CPU at this point its just a waste of money at this point
