CPU Ryzen 5000 set to bury Intel.

Yep, didn't realise it was only a pre-order. Might cancel.

Really dodgy practice.

 

I'm 589 in the queue, how big will OCUK's shipments be? 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1500?

 

3. Maybe 2.

 

Jesus, the 5600X is a beast.

 

Quite ! I must admit it has humbled me. What a cracker.

 

I don't need one - I'm very happy with the 3600, but it's nice to know I can drop something in there at a later date that will be a real upgrade. Chances are I'd probably grab an 8 or 12 core part at that time, but gaming performance plateaus around there anyway.

 

Yeah. Apparently the 5800x has been slated quite hard for being too expensive. I understand it (it's a fully working 8 core part) but yeah it's poor value compared to the 5900x and especially the (now) £380 3900x.
