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:
I beat that on my 3900x, so it has two more cores, but that just shows the clock speeds aren't that much of a consideration when IPC gains make the most.
And this isn't a gaming benchmark. Not even close to a comparable one at that.

Guess it's all in ones perception.
And I wouldn't even use the word "struggle" at all. I mean, a few FPS less @1080p with a 2080ti?? The other 99.9% real cases is on par with Intel, really good job.

Budget...... It sounds good when saying it, but never reflects properly on paper!.! HAHAHAHAHA.
(Looks at wife) "what baby....?!? Must have been the shipping that made it so expensive.."
I'm dying to see what Zen 3's capable of, especially the 12C/24T and 16C/32T parts, I might just snag one of these to replace my 3900X (which would be set aside, I'm thinking of an mITX build for the 3900X). For me to jump to a Zen 3, the performance up lift MUST be at least 20% over my 3900X (for a Zen 3 12C/24T), then I'd consider it a worthy upgrade. IF I do go with a 4900X?/4950X?, I'd take my time with the mITX build because I'd be upgrading to a big NAVI, way too much to spend at one go on hardware (plus I looking to get a Tudor 1926 watch as well, so I'm gonna blow my budget).

If anyone care to compare in Tombraider
