The newest AMD Architecture, Zen 3, is here with two beefy CPUs to demonstrate the prowess we've already seen from the Ryzen 9 3xxx series. How good are they?

Too bad you can't buy it
Outstanding performance from two AMD processors that you can't buy

Is that pun still OK to use? We should have reserved it for now.

Wow AMD pulled Intel out of the grave, pummeled it and put them back in, this is such a incredible result and here we are expecting another 14+++++++++ sometime soon, probably being a really hot running chip, oh Intel, how far you've sunk.

So in 1080P gaming AMD are only on average around 3FPS or so behind Intels top end 10900K, That's impressive considering the clock speed difference.

Although, as many, particularly Gamers Nexus, have pointed out, comparing Intel to AMD with purely clock speed isn't apples to apples. Due to the much difference in CPU architecture and hence what is gaining AMD so much more power in this generation alone.

Intel gets dragged out of the coffin kicked in the teeth and straight back into said coffin 
Good showing from AMD ok not as high a clock speed as i expected but exactly the kind of perfromance i expected.

Considering you’re on the chip as me (if your sig info is correct), which one are you aiming on getting?...

LOL, we're feeling that pain in Canada too. Especially in my city, which is white-collar-nerd central. Even if they had 3080s or 5950x in stock, that stock would deplete in seconds.

Even bikes are out of stock everywhere. This year is bonkers. We're in one of the most financially unnerving times in decades and everyone is buying FPS.

Really impressive stuff, seems like scheduling is finally spot on, and as such, 5900X with two CCX units sees a performance benefit from added cache.
Can't recommend Intel products at this point, and non-X Ryzens will likely be awesome value. But on the other hand, looks like my ole 8700K still performs fairly well when it comes to lowest percentiles in FPS.
