AMD discussion

Well, the primary reason I am waiting for the 5xxx series is because my 13 yo son already has a Ryzen 3800x, so I was planning to build mine on the new platform to see the impact for ourselves.

My previous build is ancient, from 2009. Running a Core 2 Quad 9550. When my son built his Ryzen 3800x, I took his previous Intel Core i5-6500 (Skylake, 4 core, no hyperthreading), and an EVGA 1060 FTW. So, it's going to be a rather large upgrade for me. We would never even consider upgrading his Ryzen 3800X. It's been terrific.

As sad as it is, waiting out the parts is going to allow me to piece out my parts a little bit and pay the money in chunks as I have it and I can hopefully get most things on sale.

I have a 3700x too it games better than my 3950x but it's meant to shine Productivity wise gaming it still shows up pretty good that's why i don't think upgrading is worth it, it's a Apples to Apples comparison.
The only way to really shine is high mhz ram period

It was Tommy's fault, lol. Yeah I played with it, and I get boost to 4550 set like that. I did see 4.6 maybe once or twice.

I will try lowering it a little and see, thanks.

Can't be my fault lol

Dude said:

nope, not your fault

I found out why my CinebenchR20-23 doesn't work it's calling my chip a intel chip lol
it labels it as a 4core 8 thread CPU don't know how this happened but R15 runs fine 4499 was my last run
