Zen3 is more like an upgrade for someone with 2700x or 8700k. I dont see anyone with 3800x or 9900k upgrading unless ofc more cores are needed.

So, the 9900K was only a few FPS better than any AMD CPU - but we had to have the 9900K because you know, MAX FPS!
Now, if AMD truly delivers something impressive with Zen 3 - even if it's only 10-15% over the 9900K, we're still good with the 9900K because 10-15% is nothing to write home about and because 9900K has huge FPS...
OK.

I'm not even sure it's worth it for PCIe4.0. The Samsung 980 Pro isn't any faster in real world testing than the 970 pro.
Graphics cards with enough VRAM won't notice any difference either.
A 10-15% uplift in IPC won't correspond to similar increase in FPS.

I'd like AMD to give out some gaming benchmarks in the presentation more than productivity tbh as they already have that sewn up as it is. Well, we'll see in 5 hours. Pretty exciting. 😀

Another 7zip and 3dmark beast incoming....

4pm UK time that is?
I already have the entire PC upgraded previously to be able to handle these with X570 board, memory etc already done... would just have to swap out my 3900X and drop new one in. Will see if it is worth it. Very big expense to swap over from an Intel CPU/motherboard/RAM setup for start though.

If they go directly to Intel comparison in games i'd fall off my chair. I know, i know...

I still want to know what compilers game developers use for PC these days. If they use the Intel compiler, then even if Zen3 is faster in single threaded, the compiler will generate code to detect the cpu and execute gimped code paths at game runtime.
Edit: Here's a link describing the issue.
