AMD Ryzen 7 3800X surfaces in Geekbench, performs roughly similar to Core i9 9900K
It won't be more than a week or two before AMD will unleash its new Ryzen 3000 processors and the X570 platform. We're bound to see some accidental leaks beforehand I guess. The first one starts today as a Ryzen 7 3800X has been spotted.
The eight core Ryzen 7 3800X CPU shows a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a boost of up to 4.5 GHz. From the looks of things, memory was not configured right, at only 2133 MHz - nonetheless, the results are impressive. The test platform had an 3800X paired with a X470 motherboard and achieved a single-core score of 5406, the generic score was 34059 points. If you give the Core i9 9900K with DDR4 set at the same speed all equal then it scores about 1% better in single-threaded performance (has a higher boost of 5.0 GHz), however, in multiple threads, there is a win with close to 5% in favor of AMD. Digging a little further shows a 9900K with ddr4-2666 memory to performs more than 14% better on a single thread and half a percent better in the multi-core test.
These tests, of course, and Geekbench in general, say very little, but do show an indication of what we can expect.

Not impressed by this new 3800X at the same price level as my 9900k wich can score much higher both single and multi (on air cooling with D15s):

Uhhhh..... the R7 3800X is ≈ $100 less than an i9-9900K AND includes a quality, ≈$30 value Cooler Master cooler....
And did you just simply not read the entire section about the memory only being set to the base 2133MHz speed for this 3800X bench (and how much single-threaded performance is gained with faster memory on Intel ), while you're running at 3200MHz here, or are you just too stupid to be able to comprehend what that all means?
I guess I'll have to make it stupid simple for you then.... An i9-9900K and Ryzen 7 3800X, both at stock with 2133MHz memory post essentially identical single-threaded scores in Geekbench.

In reality even if you put in as much money as you want, you even can't buy an equivalent mobo for the Intel CPU because it simply can't support PCIe 4.0. So, the equivalent on AMD's side would be one generation older mobo with PCIe 3.0. I don't think they are any more expensive than on the blue side?
Intel might end up being still overall faster due to software having so much legacy Intel optimisation. Nothing AMD can do about it. It's just something that needs to fix itself over time, assuming AMD can stay in the competition this time. And Intel doesn't resort to its usual ugly under the table methods.
Well they said their mobos would be more expensive this time, not sure how much, but even before they weren't that far off from intel mobos, it's safe to assume that comparable mobos will cost at the very least the same, yes they'll have pcie 4, which is ok, but totally useless at this time, and for at least another couple of years. Intel might end up faster because they make better silicon and they've been improving it for too many years now, software optimization is only a little part of it. Intel "usual under the table methods" have ceased to exist years ago, but you AMD fans just can't deal with it.
3700X is of better value. But people buy depending on their budget. That's why notion of paying extra $50~100 makes little sense for comparable products.
If one can save that on one component, it can be investment towards something that yields higher value per $. (Like GPU, M.2, or memory in case of productivity system.)
i'd happily pay even 150€ more for a CPU that gives me even "only" 5% more performance in both single and threaded loads
Please stop lying. 100 $/EUR difference in CPU price, and you don't need to buy an expensive X570 motherboard. In this test, there was an X470. But you can use B450 or even B350-X370 if you want.... Plus written above, the 3700X will be much better value, as it will probably be able to be OCd to 3800X levels.
Ryzen are shi**y overclockers, it was so the first gen, it was so the second, it'll be so the third. It's not me lying, it's you people lying to yourself.
Why do you say that with a GTX 1060 in your rig?
And what has this to do with the fact i have a 1060? Mirror climbing much?
1% faster in single thread while being 4-5% slower in multi thread while having much higher power consumption. Why do you lie?
Check better your numbers...A tip, look at the second image, not the first. Again you're lying to yourself, i'm just using numbers showed.
Why would you? So you don't even know what extra does the X570 adds but you say you need it. LOL
I'd buy the best available my money can buy, and i wouldn't surely buy an old mobo for a flaming new CPU

Would not it be smarter to save $150 or more (since you wrote Euro) and upgrade that HW in your SIG long time ago?

Send one i9-9900k for $400 my way
