I own the ryzen 1700 with a 1070 ftw I cant wait to get the 3600 as to the 8c16t which I almost never use all of it it's going to be a great buy for alot of people, even when you pair it with a b350 and up.I still wonder why Intel has yet to do this type tree line with cpus.

Regarding the 3950X... since AMD will be selling it with a cooler, that component has to figure into the guaranteed boost. Coolers can't be binned like silicon, especially since the interface quality will be uncontrolled.

Meaning that AMD will be forced to leave performance on the table, as margin.

Meaning that premium cooling could very well enable PBO / XFR to push the boost significantly higher.

I'll bet that with top air cooling most 3950X will boost at least 100 MHz higher. And on water, well, maybe 5.0GHz. Unless they lock it at 4.70GHz; that would be unfortunate and IMHO not in their best interests overall.

Personally I'd rather they omitted the cooler from the top chips, for exactly this reason. I'll hate to throw it away...

So there will be a 16 core.... really nice, although not as cheap as the leaks, wondering what will TR bring to the table.

That may Windows update sounds great. It sucks that it has been this long, but I guess Microsoft could no longer ignore Ryzen owners

3950X is pricer than I had expected. Still good value though.

Wow so now PBO can also raise the maximum frequency.

Also interesting that the X570 chipset is a 14nm version of the 12nm IO die on the cpu.

Need to decide on, do i get the 3700X or the 3900X, guess i have something to buy with my redundancy money. Also noticed that they have been working with Microsoft to optimise CCX utilisation. DO i need 12 cores, not really but it does have higher boost frequencies for games and sure hope 2 or more cores can hit them 1 in each CCX.

Just picked up a new i9 9900k for $380 cash LOL!!! See you guys when Ryzen gen 3 comes out. Unless Intel responds sooner. I sold my 8086k 5.2ghz de lidded for over $400. Win for me! Super happy Ryzen making people sell i9's cheap LOL!!!

Hello @Hilbert Hagedoorn, two little typos you may want to fix... mayb not

First page, first paragraph... " It is ow the year 2019 and where AMD was close "

5th page, bottom, "depending on your looing performance can add 200".
