AMD Confirms It Will Launch Zen 3 This Year - We Haven't Seen the Best From AMD Just yet
AMD for the what .. fifth time this year is confirming that ZEN3 will launch this year. This time the turn goes to AMD Executive Vice President of Computing and Graphics Rick Bergman, who confirmed that we will see the new Zen 3 based processors before the end of the year.
He also stated that we have not yet seen the best that AMD has:
So, what’s next for AMD in the PC space? Well, I cannot share too much, but I can say our high-performance journey continues with our first “Zen 3” Client processor on-track to launch later this year. I will wrap by saying you haven’t seen the best of us yet…
This remark was made during the announcements of the new Ryzen 4000 Desktop APUs. It is interesting to see that AMD reiterates this news so many times, and quite frankly they seem really enthusiast about it, so let's hope it is really good! According to rumors, the processors based on this new architecture would be up to 20% faster in single-core and 15% faster in multi-core, and that is once again a really significant leap.

1440p is the new 1080p with the new gen gpu's

Beat Intel in "cpu bound" gaming?
First they have to dig hard to beat this in gaming:
Picture removed: Showing 10900k 5600Mhz Cinebench 20 7269 points
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you sure that thing is stable in Cinebench or other allcore workload?
This is the first time i have seen a 10900k above 5400Mhz without using ice cubes, dry ice in the watercooling loop or running suicide burst runs.
The score is a little above a stock 3900X (Guru3d results), so i think the 10900k is throttling in this benchmark.
On another note, a 5600Mhz 10900k would be around 500W TDP, so the cooling solution must be a custom loop and min. 1000W powersupply.
It is enough to buy a 3900x, a 570 motherboard and 16GB memory for the same price as your cooling solution alone, i am guessing.
So the discussion about who is beating who is a bit weird when the comparison is between something custom made for 2-3 times the prize, against a off the shelf setup that is 2-10% slower and uses half the power.

It's direct die cooling, and yes it's stable in Cinebench. I just posted CB result, because many here in this forum LOVES Cienbench

This cpu is for gaming only. Nothing more for me, so if it's stable in Battlefield games, then it's stable enough for me. Looped Cinebench R 20 for 10 minutes, and it didn't crash. Will try Asus Realbench eventually.
Using 1x360 radiator. The Supercool Computer direct die block is the key here. It's crazy good!
More info about the block is here:
More 5600mhz 10900k with direct die:
My best 3900x CB 20 score is this:

It's faster in CB 20 than 10900k, but it's WAY 20-30% slower in cpubound games. Both "max" overclocked. Main difference is latency and 10900k is running 4700c17 tweaked memory

He knows, he thinks he's being clever, he asks for something he could easily look up while ignoring 100% of the point, knowing people don't keep screenshots of everything they do, and that I'm not going to waste any time on him. Ignore and move on. And for the record my 3900X stock scores over 7200, the Guru3D result was with slower RAM/Fabric/MC.

This news hurts even more now that Intel has delayed 7nm.

I'm waiting for a chipset that supports DDR5 RAM before I upgrade my CPU.
