20% watt efficiency is comparing to i9-10900k. not zen2
those of us who game at 1440p and lower may see better FPS from upgrading processor vs upgrading GPU
going with AM4 platform really pays off
So expensive 299usd
Now they leader in cpu, follow Intel footsteps

Wait for benchmarks and see if worth it?
Their Radeon 6000 series against RTX 3080. Gonna be tough. Engineers still fine-tuning at this timing? Guess a late November launch liao. Along with Black Friday. Hope don't crash like Nvidia.


Based on this data, which is the best bang for buck cpu to get? Am planning to get a new pc few months later either in Dec or next year Jan where stocks is readily available.
Weirdly, it's Intel this time round. I was hoping to get the 5700x to replace my 3600. Looks like I'll use it longer
not sure how it suddenly became intel? 3600/x and 3700x still exist(hopefully). and if amd numbers are to be believed, 5600x has better single thread than 10600k and -~5-10% multithread from 3700x.
He says bang for buck if we're comparing 10kseries vs zen 3.
5800x - usd$450 (8c/16t) vs 10850k usd$480 (10c/20t) or 10700 usd$320 (8c/16t)
5600x - usd$300 (6c/12t) vs 10700 usd$320 (8c/16t) or 10600k usd$280 (6c/12t)
Pay 20$ more for 2 more cores and 4 threads. 4.6ghz vs 4.8ghz. no brainer what to pick. I'm pretty sure if you pick the 10600k, you can even overclock it to match or supercede the 5600x performance.
3000 series was the last great value series. AMD is now pushing prices up and rightly so due to becoming market leaders but it sucks for us
