Absolutely......it's what I'm waiting for. The only question is RAM and Mobo's.....will there be any available to purchase with Covid-19 putting a big hurt on mfg shipping.

Looking forward to a R9-4950X 16-core @5GHz+. That would be awesome!

What the heck are you guys ding to require such processing power ? For most things I do including games, I can't feel difference at 2GHz.

Yeah, I had problem installing them. Had to uninstall old drivers than to reinstall them and only after that to upgrade to this one.
BTW, Did you flash BIOS 5601 ?

For me, just for running virtual machines in a lab. And this would be an upgrade to my existing corei5-6500....so quite a jump.

But I dont have the extra cash.

I just bought a new bike, getting our deck repaired and restaining and putting in new granite countertops. So, my money is non-existent at the moment.
