5600X comes with cooler, the rest do not.

i am using asus rog b450f gaming motherboard do this board support zen 3 processor?

Maybe. We'll have to wait until after launch and see if they add support.

 

[YBS1]

Assuming Zen 3 mostly lives up to the expected IPC increases I'll definitely pick up either a 5900X or 5950X and do some shifting around with my current builds. I'll likely pick up an AM4 mini-itx board and push the current 3900X over to it and replace the 6700K.

 

[Grooveriding]

wtf. availability today as well?

edit: nope, got ahead of myself, saw 'launch' and thought there would be product

 

[YBS1]

I doubt it, we'd have probably seen a lot more leaks if so. We can hope for preorders maybe though after the reveal.

If AMD managed to ship Zen 3 products today (or hell even just this week) with wide availability it would be the most impressive thing about this entire launch. Not even Apple is that good at clamping down on leaks, so it would be even more impressive than anything else they might have managed to accomplish.

 

[thigobr]

A 5950X is on my plans!

 

[Herr Kutz]

Earlier this week I found out my main system cannot play 4k video smoothly, so I'm thinking about picking a new system with a non X version comes out.

 

[B-Riz]

Thinking of a 5900X, but maybe at least a month after release for BIOS issues to be worked out.

 

[Racan]

I've been thinking of building a small form factor PC for a while now. The 5800X would be perfect for this.

 

[MrTeal]

I'll probably be looking at slotting a 5800X into my current X570 MB with a 3080-class GPU and a new RAM kit. My current 3600 and RAM will move over to the wife's computer to replace the aging 2500k.

 

[Martimus]

I really wanted to wait for Zen 3 to build my latest computer, but my 4790K system died a third time this spring and I just got fed up and bought a 3900X instead. I still really want a 5900X, and I might just buy it even though it doesn't seem very cost efficient. I'll probably wait until the spring and get one anyway. It'll be the first time I've updated a processor without getting a new MB since I upgraded a Athlon 3500+ to an Athlon X2 4200+.

 

[badb0y]

Probably copping that 5900X.

 

[Shmee]

Yeah I will likely be getting the 5900X, but I will wait for reviews to see which one makes the most sense for games.

 

[eek2121]

Yeah I will likely be getting the 5900X, but I will wait for reviews to see which one makes the most sense for games.

I may upgrade from the 3900X to the 5950X. I have been wanting to jump back to a 16 core CPU. Just waiting on those benchmarks.

 

[EXCellR8]

Yea idk... def need a new board for anything but also want that sweet RX 6000 series, prob can't swing both. Well, I could but

Didn't watch or read any coverage material but why the skip over 4000?

They skipped the 4000 series because Zen 2 APUs were already labeled as 4000 series parts. This way they get away from the confusion of APUs having last Gen cores on current Gen part numbers.

 

[cellarnoise]

This needs to be in the board section or build section, but I would like to move to smaller cases, but with great airflow for all components for a great Zen3 build.

I'll post in other places, as my current am4 board is too old for this new goodness. A CPU without a board and bios is useless.

 

[swilli89]

Dr. Cutress (Anandtech) said he expects beta bios for 400 series motherboards in Q1 2021. That is a huge deal for people like myself with a B450 board.

 

[DrMrLordX]

Has anyone said what will be the effective max power draw for any of the announced Vermeer SKUs? Matisse topped out at 142W.

 

[EXCellR8]

I'm sure someone's said it... just not here. At least that I know of. I'm guessing 125 tho tops +/-

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Are there any new motherboards coming out, or revisions? What's my option for an X570 Tomahawk equivalent with Intel LAN?

 

[Kenmitch]

Has anyone said what will be the effective max power draw for any of the announced Vermeer SKUs? Matisse topped out at 142W.

I believe it was stated that sku for sku there will be the same max power draw. Performance goes up, power stays the same. We'll have to wait and see what the official reviews show in the end.

 

[Elfear]

Has anyone said what will be the effective max power draw for any of the announced Vermeer SKUs? Matisse topped out at 142W.

The Anandtech article had a blurb on that. "All four processors have the same official memory support at DDR4-3200, and the 105 W TDPs will offer a turbo power of 142 W, which is the same as the current generation Ryzen processors."

I currently have a 2600X and a MSI B450 Tomahawk motherboard. I’m planning on upgrading to the 5600X and I have 2 options. Option 1. I wait 5 to 6 months and upgrade the BIOS on my B450. This is the cheapest option at $300, but I don’t like the idea of the one direction beta BIOS update. The second option is to buy a B550 or X570 mother board. This option would cost me around $500, but I have no idea which type of board to get. I’m a little surprised at how many B550s cost more than a X570. I’m looking at boards in the $200 range. Something like the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming (WiFi 6) or the GIGABYTE X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI.
