Zen + has finally made it to X399, but can it tear a hole in the competition?

Amazing cheers Tom.

Some one has to use that plate to make a cube case.

The table at the bottom of page 4 has some errors:


The 2970WX will be released on October, while the 2950X (not 2990X) will be released on the 31st of August.




Edit:


On the last page: "look at our preview for MSI's MEG X399 Creation Preview".

Thanks for the spot. The error has now been addressed.

Still perfectly relevant

AMD are really going for pure giggles with the 2990WX in price/performance against the i9-7980XE. I had a quick comparison against the 2 and the only thing the i9 wins on is the TDP but that's literally only because it has nearly half the cores. I genuinely hope this decimates the i9s on all fronts

Soon as I saw the CPU in the box I thought of the big Pentium Pro CPU back in the day lol

Mullti tasks please

I hope you will show us, the 2990x streaming, gaming and rendering 4k video or even more at the same time.

Really looking forward to the review of this in the MSI Meg Creation board should be very very interesting
