If anyone thought Intel was going to blast AMD to the moon deserves to be disappointed. There isn't much sense in flogging 14 Nm to be 50% faster when it's at the limit already. Intel did the best they could with what they had ready. Obviously it wasn't enough. The latest security patches killed the 10980xe completely but they had no choice but to market it that way. I hope you don't send Intel an award as they are likely to smash it on the floor and send you the video. If Intel ever does make a come back with something better than AMD there sure will be a lot of people eating crow. Too bad people actually worship and creme their jeans over a Chinese made CPU. People should really get a life!

What do you think about the x79 platform? im currently rocking a custom dell i7 3770 build with q77 chipset. It has USB 3. 0 SATA 3 etc, but no nvme support or overclocking. I ask because i been looking for a cheap custom upgrade to go in my rig. Ive been considering the i7 4930k with a Chinese x79 board. Some of the boards have onboard nvme that is bootable from an some overclocking in bio's. I done the pricing an cpu+mobo is well under 200 which is a steal for that kinda power unless im missing somthing. Also reason for be considering this is i have a r9 290x an wanna upgrade to a 1070 or even higher without bottle necking.

So many angry people. Nothing wrong with a 3600. 3700x is great too. Price too performence, 3600 is king though for modern chips. I can assure you 6c/12t will last well into the next generation. The next gen consoles will be 8c/16t to make up for severely slashed clock speeds. The 3600, 2600, hell even the 1600 will get you quite a bit of time in the perfectly usable range for most tasks INCLUDING gaming. Some people aren't rich and can't afford 600 SKUs. I'd be willing to bet the modest 200 3600 will hang in there with chips that launch at twice the price for a long time to come. So it's really all down to preference.

Most all utube hardware reviewers avoid talking about the cove architecture which in light weight laptops is by far the highest IPC cpu in x86. Laptops out sale desktops by 4X. I am buying SURFACE 7 this Friday for wife's Xmas gift. IT won't be the cheapest or the most expensive. lol at Steve being an honest man. Never even mentioned Icelake and their selling vary well. 20/20 is going to be fun for me but not so much for utube fake bios reviewers. No mention of Ice lake this year and likely 20/20 as Tiger lake will take the market by storm.

I'm as happy for AMD doing better as I am upset about Intel faltering (in a way that is incredulously suspicious. I usually root for the little guy, and AMD is certainly a little guy compared to either Intel and/or Nvidia. Nvidia is behaving in a manner that is relatively understandable. Intel, however, is behaving in a way that makes no real logical sense. They look like they're shooting themselves in their own feet on purpose. I don't get it. AMD, I'm very happy they have become significantly more competitive.

Completely disagree about the 3600X. You can get the 3600X for 199 currently, versus 194 for the 3600. There is literally NO reason to buy a 3600 over a 3600X right now, and even though the performance isn't a huge increase, it's objectively faster. Even when the 3600X was 239 and the 3600 was 200, you aren't getting 4. 4GHz on a 3600 with a 39 cooler unless you won the silicon lottery. You were paying a little extra for something 95% of 3600's could not do.

I always wondered who tf would buy the 2600/3600x or 2700/3700x CPUs except people who don't really know what they're looking at/for. The additional price/performance just didn't seem to be there, and honestly alot of the tests even bone stock the cheaper option was better even without tuning. AMD prices don't look QUITE as good as last year, (I got a 2600 for 130) but still, his point about the TDP, performance, and included cooler is spot on.

Reason why it is the 3700x over the 3600 is the amount of cores. Next gen consoles are headed all 8 cores, that six core Ryzen is not as future proof as 3700x. Its why i got one, over the 3600. That 3600 is great value now, its going to struggle in 2-3 years, the 3700x won't be, at anything. I reckon sites like even this one will be suggesting owners of 3600 to upgrade in the near future to cope with the extra stress on the cpus.

the 2700x I got for 130 at microcenter with 30 off when paired with a mobo. The 3600 is around double the price at 200. Is there a reason its worth 2x the 2700x when the 2700x seems to beat it in applications and doesn't seem to bottleneck gaming either? Whats the disadvantage of going with the 2700x? I understand the 3600 is a superior cpu but with the clearance prices on the 2700x it seems hard to beat for value.

Am I the only one who gets super confused when it comes to naming these cpu or GPU? Ex) you have the GTX 1060, GTX 1060 Ti, GTX 1660, GTX 1660 Super, GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2060, RTX 2060 super. You have the GTX 960 then it goes to GTX 1060. and you're like wow, I see the pattern and then it's like nope. We going to the 20s boys for RTX, fine fair point. But nah, we dont go to the GTX 1160 we go straight to 1660.
