[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 168215, member: 201"] No doubt it's going to be a good chip... for those folks that can take advantage of the number of cores/threads that it provides. While it'd game pretty nice ( in most cases ), it has more threads than the games need and would be a waste if that's all it was being used for. On the otherhand, you can get a Threadripper 2950X and get the same number of cores/threads for less money and also have a lot more PCI lanes for a lot more IO. For most people, including ones doing basic productive work... The Ryzen 3700X or 3800X will be plenty. An 8 core / 16 thread CPU will be plenty ... even if they are gaming and streaming at the same time. In fact, I think the Ryzen 3600 is plenty for most people, providing almost the performance of the i7-9700k and even out performing it in some scenerio's. If you are just a gamer only... and you want the most gaming performance, the i9-9900K an i9-9900KS are going to be the top two dogs for quite some time... ... oh, I also suspect getting your hands on a R9-3950X will be ni impossible unless you get really lucky. Demand will outstrip supply just like it did for the 3900X. [/QUOTE]
