Remij 4,670 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Starts at 9am Pacific/11am Central/12pm Eastern.. So roughly 1h45m from now. Should be a good event. Rumors put the performance faster than Intel's flagship 10900K in gaming.. which would be the first time AMD has had the fastest CPU for gaming in well over a decade.

Remij 4,670 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Der8auer apparently said he's already being sent a 5950X.. so it seems like they might have a full lineup off the bat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,228 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Can we take a moment to appreciate (or rather acknowledge, since I don't think its something entirely worth appreciating) how companies really do not need press or conventions anymore to have their press conferences. I just boot up the youtube channel on my LG 4K OLED tv, search for AMD and find their live stream, and I'm directly watching their feed. No wonder E3 is on its way out. Its really not necessary anymore. Edited October 8, 2020 by jehurey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,228 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 ooph, I'll probably have to settle on the 5800X and hope that it can overclock. The most important part is that it be an 8-core. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,228 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 GamerNexus just released their video a minute ago. So they clearly must have some info on hand since this is already pre-recorded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,228 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Now I am thinking that I might've regretted returning back that 3700X that I bought earlier in the summer. For $260, it had a 6.5Ghz with a 4.4Ghz boost clock, and that was at 65w TDP. (and it came with a copy of AC Valhalla) I wonder how much I could've overclocked that, because I get the feeling that these cards probably won't overclock by much. I could've spent $260 on the CPU, and then $120 on an Arctic Liquid Cooler, and it still would've been beneath the $450 asking price for a 5800X. (that, we are hearing, does not come with a cooler) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their current CPUs are selling incredibly well. They're gaining marketshare. Mindshare is higher than it's been in ages. And now they're better than the competition in all areas. They're starting to price their products relative to the competition now instead of just the value proposition. I believe AMD deserves it to some extent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChupacabraIII 134 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Damn. RIp intel. inb4 rocket lake launches on ANOTHER 14nm refresh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,228 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 It just fucking sucks I gotta drop $450 + taxes on the CPU, and then pay another $130 for an AIC water cooler to connect to it. Hell, the 360mm version of the Arctic Freeze Liquid Cooler II doesn't appear to be coming back into stock anytime soon, so it looks like I'll just have to get the 280mm version.
