That's a nice start, now let's get some ARMA 3 benchmarks, that old guy will put any top of the line CPU on it's knees :D

Pemalite - What does your overclocked 3930K do in Cinebench R15 in multi threaded / single threaded scores?

this is what the 1800x does:

Can't tell you at the moment, waiting on GPU's to arrive. ;)
Using a Core 2 Quad Q9650 for the time being.

I ended up jumping the gun, got a Corsair Hydro and ordered two Radeon 480's for Mass Effect. I'll likely sell them off before Vega and drops.
Not going to install the waterloop untill I decide if I wish to upgrade to socket 2066 or not.



So I'll let you know how she benches once bessy is running again.

My pc is in need of a upg lol... A ryzen cpu would make a huge improvement.

Im running at old G3258@4.0-4.5ghz (depending on if Im trying to game or not)

PS4 is a better place for me to game.

Well, I wasn't going to spend 2,500 on a PC.  Still glad I didn't do that.  Now, if I spend 2,000 on a PC today, it would be great.  I don't care what Itel does in raction to AMD. I'm going with AMD, because they are the ones who forced Itel's greedy claws to loosen up on the price in the first place (assuming that happens).  So, AMD shall be rewarded for that.  I'm not waiting for a price drop.  I need 8 cores.  Would have gladly gone 16 if there was any available, but, either way, it'll be enough for me.

A Ryzen chip would be a night and day difference.

The great thing is, the Quad-Core Ryzen CPU's will be super cheap and should be able to handle any game you throw at it.

I'm keen to see what kind of GPU AMD pairs the APU's up with, just a shame there isn't a high-end chipset with Quad-Channel DDR4 to make an APU truly shine.

Fair enough. Each to their own.

These are consumer prices. Retailers get them cheaper and when a giant like Microsoft orders them in bulk, say in orders of a few million, the price probably goes down to <$150

Scorpio will not have an 8-core Ryzen.

In-case you aren't aware... Ryzen is 4.8 Billion transistors. That's almost as large as the original Playstation 4 chip that includes the CPU AND GPU and memory controllers, cache, fixed function/logic/specific-purpose blocks, everything. Microsoft will likely go with a more transistor-light CPU core and spend more of their transistor budget on the GPU.

I can't wait for some competition either. Exciting times!

Interesting CPUs. Have to see DF's video before making a judgment.
