That's interesting, because either of the CPUs you have right now are better for gaming than the 3700X. Not by much, but since you said "crucial" I'm thinking every bit counts.I have a 9700K and an 8700K. (both are fine with me)
I plan to get an AMD Ryzen 7-3700X for the crucial third gaming PC.

Underwhelming. Still can’t catch up with stock intel in gaming. And then add oc capabilities that 8700/9700/9900 have. This won’t send intel into panic and price reductions as we hoped.

I'm thinking about waiting for the next stepping. By then even the X570 boards should be somewhat better me thinks.This is why I am waiting to buy into the new ZEN platform. Time will squeeze out any little issues for me first. Then I will jump.

Yes, teething problems aren't something Zen2 invented. I would have been bitten by the no-boot on Linux, had I jumped onto this one. I'm going to give this a few more months, see if motherboards come down in price a little.This is why I am waiting to buy into the new ZEN platform.

Whoops@W1zzard In the conclusion it says that the 3950x is a 32 core cpu, unless you know something different I think you meant 16 core, right?

Don't worry about overclocking these, they overclock themselves excellently. No reviewer was able to get more than 5% or so after overclocking compared to default settings so it's really not worth the hassle.Hi, im new to cpu OC only done a bit with GPU, i was just reading on the test with the voltage at 1.4 the result was 4.225.
I just went into ryzen master and selected PBO and got the same result , is this the correct way to do it without having to manual OC?

Don't have the 1700, amd never sampled itSure wish the Ryzen 7 1700, also at 65 watts, would have been included in the comparisons, especially the Energy Usage charts.
In terms of IPC Ryzen 3000 has completely defeated Intel which last happened over ten years ago with Athlon 64. The only thing which makes Intel faster is the frequency deficit of Ryzen CPUs. What a day to be alive!
I'm going to fully agree with W1zard is that the only two serious shortcomings of Ryzen 3000 are the absence of integrated graphics and the price which could have been a tad lower.
Meanwhile, it's finally high time to upgrade our aging Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge rigs. The first gen Ryzen wasn't really that much faster and now the performance increases are very palpable.
Bravo, AMD!

"Still not as fast as Intel in gaming"
This is because most of the developers use Intel platforms for programming, not the CPU itself.
Other developers as Massive Entertainment in Sweden use AMD-platforms and their games is optimized for AMD-cpu's. So this line as conclusion is just wasted and wrong way to see things.

actually with latest bios, drivers, firmware, etc - new benches are showing considerable gains against intel even at 1080p. ryzen 4000 series is going to decimate intel.
I was watching a video done by Hardware Unboxed and they used a 3800x with different RAM and DDR 4000 gave the CPU just as much FPS as the 9900K OC to 5 GHZ using the same kits in most games.
