Seems Intel still has a slight lead in the majority of games, but we'll see if that stays like that when more games results are available. I'm thinking of a massive number of games, like 100 or 200 titles, a compilation of results from all over the net. And then average the % difference.
I'm also interested in the minimum/99 percentile fps.
Overclocking is pretty disappointing which largely originates from the +5GHz hype in the months running up to today.
But overall a great CPUs and a nice replacement in the future for my 2600, when they are at or near their lowest price point, or sooner if the need is there.
And thx HH for including the 720p results, much appreciated.

Am I seeing things correctly that Zen 2 is achieving almost similar performance to intels cpus in games but with way lower clock speeds?
Great review as always.
Saw some statistics that 3900x would be losing roughly 2.8% on 1440p gaming to 9900K and same for 3700x which is my resolution. While both running for sure lower clocks then 9900K

One thing I can't see in the review and that might be just as interesting.... is it actually possible to OC the 3700x to exact 3800x levels and keep all benefits like C&Q and equally raised Turbo? Because in that case it would save you 70 bucks right away.

Close but no sigar. 9900k is still the king of games. (No suprise here)
Asrock x570 taichi and Asus x570 formula is on it's way for testing, together with 3900x on Ek water
Summer of benchmarking

Performance boost will do it but... from what the reviews say most have it disabled and heat becomes a problem as it's pushing 1.46v through it and is basically helping multi core workloads. No one seems to hit the 4.6GHz on 3900X on a single core it more or less tops out at 4.3-4.4GHz.

There's a tiny error.
Ryzen 9 3900X (12c/24t) priced at 399 USD

I'll be called a Intel fanboy... but outside the obvious downside of gaming performance. High voltages, disappointing headroom for overclocking. Hardware Unboxed managed to kill their 3900x. Voltages are higher and temps, strange considering power consumption is lower.
Oh well, its the best its been for AMD in a while, and that's good. But these will just bring prices down on Intel's end.
And while X570 boards finally have quality like Intel now, I hate the stupid fan and the only mobo I'd consider is the Gigabyte Xtreme, as it has no fan and better cooling, but it is ridiculously expensive.

Waiting to see ComboPI 1.0.0.3AB with unlocked BIOS features...

My 1500X with auto vcore rise up to 1.48V, I fixed it at 1.325 (just to be lazy, I bet I could try lower values) and remains full rock solid with same performance, less power consumption and lower temperatures...

AMD being generous and saving some pussy for 9900K, it gotta be the "gaming king" after all.
I am pleased with results. AMD makes the right moves to strike balance between single core speed and overall CPU power.
More improvement and better choices for the consumers.
With price discounts for older AMD CPUs (2700x, etc...) I can only see market moving towards AMD.
Hope to see something refreshing from Intel soon, it badly needs "Sandy Bridge v2".

Now waiting for updated overclock reviews.. If it is likle zen and zen+, we need to wait that MB OEMs and AMD fix their damn firmwares.. Which is pretty annoying. Hopefully for xmas most of the issues should be solved, even on 300 and 400 series MBs...

Looks like all AMD needs to do now is figure out how to get their frequencies even higher. Not to say that more IPC improvements aren't welcome, but at this point their IPC seems to be top of the line, it's the frequencies that need improvements.
