I present you with the Apple faithful who are in line to pre-purchase the latest iphone, a phone 4x more expensive then the AMD 3600
Reminds me of my mom complaining about how expensive iPhone's have gotten. She had to be first to have a iPhone X, and pre-ordered a 128GB at $1,300? if I'm remembering correctly. She won't buy an Android phone because Google is evil cause they supported Obama, and liberals. She's all in for Microsoft Bing as search engine though.

I was going to reply with a post but I will just link a song that captures the essence of the AMD 3600x

I'm not too worried myself to be fair, if its better than 2xxx its hard to go wrong ;)

I just do not quite get the 'I'm sold' here. They hardly showed anything about it yet, and the benches in that youtube are all but worthless to gauge any sort of real world performance.

But its fine though, keep that hype train goin :) Chooo Choooo

Even Ryzen+ from the 1st gen with only an ipc uplift of about 3% (apparently) people still upgraded for that and also a bump in clock speed, the same we know will be true of Ryzen 2 only with a higher ipc increase and yet again higher clocks (4.5 all core seems like it will be the new 4.0/4.2 of it's predecesors)

If anything theres more of a reason for Ryzen+ users to buy Ryzen2 than there was to upgrade to Ryzen+ and it's a no brainer for those of us still on 1st gen.

I got beta support on B350, so no.
Asrock has confirmed Ryzen 2 support on my AB350m, I'll only go 6/8 cores max anyway so I'm not worried about it need to support 12c/130w or W/E. Still waiting for the darn thing to be released though, been looking for the last few weeks in the hopes I can clock my ram higher before I grab a Ryzen2 :banghead:

To bad the beta bios took away some options MSI had added into the prior bios updates.

If you're building a new computer or swapping out the mobo and CPU, then just wait for the reviews to confirm the promise of Zen 2. If you already have an AM4 motherboard and have been waiting for an upgrade, go ahead and preorder. It's clearly going to be much faster. But people who haven't committed to a socket yet, just wait. And then if AMD is actually at parity, then by all means buy a Ryzen 3000 chip.

I still have no real reason to upgrade my computer. But when I do, at least I'll have two options now. Thanks, AMD! When I built my computer in 2016, those FX chips were junk. It's amazing to me that $200 will buy a 12 thread CPU instead of just a 4 thread CPU. Looking forward to one day buying AMD again.

Good luck getting a reply from him, he's been MIA since about a year ago, would be nice to hear from the old badger though. But iirc it is more to do with some personal issues he has been dealing with so I'm hopeful he will be back again soon.

You'll get a decent performance uplift regardless of which one you go now

I’m doing my first full rebuild in 8 years. Have everything minus my cpu motherboard and new video card.. this timing is perfect. Will be waiting for benchmarks next week to pull the trigger between the 3600,3700,and 3800x. Was maybe thinking 3900x (who knows at this point) Waiting for X570 pricing as well as video card changes. What a time to plan my upgrade! Lol.

As much as how good this Zen 2 arch, I'm still nowhere near the limit of my current 1600. I only done mild overclock of 3.85GHz 1.25V, usually it stay stock with -0.120V undervolt. Furthermore there are BIOS issue with most Gigabyte B350/X370 where the newer ones makes the DRAM on-die termination way too high and the setting in the BIOS makes zero difference, so either Gigabyte fixed the issue or I buy a new board.
