to build a pc ?

i know price varie alot of pc part

is it a good time to build one or should i wait for price drop ?

im not in a hurry

Quite good time, prices on CPU/RAM/GPU are low compared to just a year ago. I would consider the new Ryzen 3000 CPUs that launch soon for a new PC.

so then not a good time cause shit not even out yet

Literally launched 2 hours ago

I just woke up, but even still if no benchmarks posted then be careful.

The few reviews that are up so far are really positive. It's significantly faster than the previous gen, and is close to Intels offerings at good prices.

It seems to excel at rendering type tasks, but still gets nailed by Intel in gaming.

Yeah, but it seems there are underlying issues that need to be solved. Linus highlighted that limiting processing within one CCX improves gaming performance. But it's just like with previous ryzen generations.

Looking at one, even oc'd its not on par with intel?
rip me.

Pretty much. It's more like a "super" 2700X, than an Intel killer. I assume it will be more happily accepted as a work station processor, than it will by gamers.


/e But maybe that's what AMD was aiming for. Not positive, but I think the business sector demand is still greater than the gaming demand... at least in the CPU world.
