66 Comments on AMD CES 2022 Liveblog: Zen 3+, RDNA2 IGP, 6nm, RX 6500 XT, AM5, Zen 4 and More
this 5800x3D is a good upgrade for anyone who has a 5600x or lower say 3700x 2700x.
I found an easter egg lol
Ryzen 7000 is all 3D vCache anyway, judging by the new IHS on top of the package, and it's slated for (my guess) September. Intel won't bring anything out in the meantime, so it's all very much a bland CES.
Agree on 6500XT. If it can sell for $200, it'll disappear off the virtual shelves in seconds. In the UK we're finding the 1650 for about $400 and higher. Newegg (US pricing) is selling these cards for $360.
Shit time to be in PC gaming.
PS: Did anyone figure out if 5800X3D is on the same process as 5000-series or 7000-series?AMD slides say they're on different processesThe "5 GHz" was not related to Zen4, it was in regards to Ryzen 6000, which are Zen3+, and yeah it was "Single core, single thread".

Also, the reason AMD uses chiplets is precisely so that they don't have to repurpose rejected dies from servers, they are so small that most of them are functional and it doesn't matter whether they end up in consumer or server products. Goes to show what level of catastrophic lack of knowledge you have on this subject.
I had your chip and went to a 5800X and it was noticeably faster. Add another 15% on top of that and its going to be like 30-35% faster than what you are currently on.
And now Nvidia have even more.
Intel integrated??? ;)
ADL seems like better value in terms of raw performance, also when Raptor Lake will face AM5 I'll most likely be able to save my DDR4 kit if I go for Intel.
What's Amd strategy here?
All of the new external ceramic package transistors are probably to shunt core voltage. Gonna make for a warm package/socket. I wouldn't use liquid metal or conductive paste on that IHS..
