Loving all the comments like "lol a new CPU is coming next year that's way better." No kidding? That's how CPUs have worked for thirty years. AMD is firing on all cylinders and so the perf jumps are impressive, but Weird Al's "It's All About The Pentiums" more or less applies here.

This is essentially the best CPU you can buy today. If you need a computer today and not in 2022, then this is the top. If you don't need a computer today, obviously things are only getting better. (Well, maybe not on the Intel side of the fence.)

Sometimes I think we don't give enough credit to the magic they pull in the various cpu labs. The constant ability to get even more performance out of something so miniscule is insane.

this should improve my youtube and AOL email experience

I doubt you'll be getting DDR5 next year, as I've explained elsewhere
Ok, lol, I'm not going to hunt down your half-assed explanation. Considering Zen 4 will not support DDR4 and is launching next year, I somehow doubt your opinion matters.

Availability is the deal. If you are one of the few who already have your GPU situation sorted or believe you will sometime the next year, then this is a good deal. I don't expect to find a GPU in stock till next summer.

Quote from ai42 :
Meh. I'm not convinced it will be all that worthwhile for most people. 16 cores is already completely nuts and barely has any reason to exist even for high end desktop market. It's really a workstation CPU on a consumer socket.

AMD pretty much knows they are the market leader so even if they release a 5950XT variant I'm sure will will cost quite a bit more I'd guess $1000+. And will mostly serve to be a halo product while normal people buy the $200-350 CPU's.
dont know why you're getting downvoted but im betting more than half the buyers of this cpu wont even utilize it to full potential or for its intended use

Not really... oftentimes they weren't "way better".

Quote from JamesT9955 :
AMD is ahead in benchmarks for right now which is why I chose them for my current build but it's locked up and crashed more times in the last two years than the ten years before that I had Intel.
My 3900X has been very stable except for perhaps some crashes I got which I think were due to video driver bugs but that hasn't happened in awhile so I think they fixed it.

If you are overclocking your CPU or RAM then stop overclocking and see if it stops crashing. Also, update your BIOS as that can sometimes improve stability.

After waiting for a year. I finally but the bullet. Will I need to update firmware before I use this CPU ? (Bought AMD x570 mb last year )
Maybe. I would do it regardless.

Quote from chrisinsocalif :
Good point. I have the 3900x. I will wait for the new chips. No need to rush.
Using a 3900X and have a 5900X on order from Amazon. I heard about the new chips but who knows when they will be available. Even if they come out early next year, it might be months until you can get your hands on one at non-scalper pricing... and it could cost more too.

I think slickdeals has become a stock finder website as of late (this even made front page). There are already websites for this. I come here for deals, and go elsewhere to find stock. It has also become slickdeals put sponsors on front page even if deal sucks. But those deals still get a thumbs up. Guessing because it is on the front page, so must be good. Kind of like when I worked at a grocery store, and we would have something that is normally 49 cents. Put is on an endcap with a sale sign stating 2 for 1 dollar, and we would sell out.

Wow, it took so long to get these in stock that I am now dead set on waiting for the next round of chips to land in the next 6-9 months.
Same. Waited so long, I have decided to work on other projects instead.

Because SD put this on the front page. If it makes the front page people tend to vote it up even if the deal (or stock find) isn't very good.
