This has to be the best bang for buck CPU to come out since the intel i5 2600k
i7 2600?
Some clarification on how the comment with a cpu that does not actually exist has been upvoted, and the mention of real device goes negative?
i5 2500k oops
i5 2500k*
If only Intel still made CPUs that competitive.
well i had the correct seller in the title but it has been changed from ninja.buy to pc byte by somone
If you click revisions you can see who has edited the Post, in this case Scrimshaw (Moderator).
I'm assuming Ninja buy is PC Byte renamed?
when you pay with paypal …its PC meal …..so maybe PC meal is also pc byte as well ….lol who knows
Same thing
Makes sense. Bite -> meal.
Their parent company might be called PC Burp.
In case people don't know, if you click the Seller's profile, then visit their Feedback page, and then click ID History

You can see what their previous eBay names have been. pc.byte was renamed in 16-Apr-19 into ninja.buy
and if you visit the seller profile on Ozbargain page.. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/pcbyte.com.au
You'll see that deals from all their sub-stores (PC byte, pcmeal, their amazon shop (called Aze shop), and their numerous ebay stores) are collected into one page. That's by design, so that if the store has a penalty / ban, it is globally applied to all their stores, and if you subscribe to the store by hitting the Subscribe button, you'll also get notifications to all Pc Byte-owned deals.
Thanks for that. I looked at the username and felt like I was being scammed lol
Yes this would be correct, seems that mods are moving all Ninja.buy posts to PC Byte Store.
ok thanks CC123 and Tehcookiemonsta ……
What is cheapest motherboard suitable for this?
Probably look at MSI B450 based motherboards like the Tomahawk. They also support BIOS Flashback.
Is recommending PCIe 4.0 really a good idea considering it's expensive and useless?
The MSI 450 has PCIe3.0 not 4.0
I'm not following MSI but make sure it can boot zen2 without a bios update, and make sure it already has AGESA1003
They also support BIOS Flashback
i.e. flashing BIOS without CPU
i used bios flashback to update bios before i put in the ram and cpu… just need the power supply and thats it :) worked great on a R7 3700x
Msi Tomahawk Max can be had at roughly $175 after discount. Works with zen2 out of the box
Also same price at AZESHOP
Any point upgrading from my 4 year old Intel i7-6700k?
Depends on what you use it for. Performance is similar to an 8700k in gaming at 1080p. It exceeds the 8700k when it comes to productivity. Plus when games get more optimized, due to the new consoles being Ryzen based, it will take advantage of the 6 cores where your 6700k will be the hindrance.
Cool, I guess I'll just wait until my 6700k became a hindrance. Thanks.
i upgraded from an intel i3 6100T to a AMD R7 3700X and i cant tell the difference.. but i only play league of legends
@vid_ghost: I think you would notice if you started playing Assassin's Creed Origins and above.
League is such an old game it runs on any random potato.
Apparently it runs on an Athlon 200GE and it's integrated GPU at about 90fps/1080p. I'll let you know if we both have completely overbuilt our PCs :P.
@vid_ghost: So graphics card upgrade is next? nVidia (hardware ray tracing support but $$$) or AMD (better value for money though driver could be better)?
in my opinion no
if you're gonna upgrade go for the 3900xthat thing is expensive.
i'd take it if it was the same price though.
I'm still holding on to my 1st gen i7….. i7-920
this is a pretty good cpu for the price if you're looking to upgrade
I retired the 920 years ago, was good for a while. i5-9600K now.
im on a i7 870 - Sept 2009 omg its nearly 10 years old
You can have my 920 as an upgrade, i still have it hahah
@Arnor: 15gb seems an odd figure :P - I've been running 8gb and wanted to chuck another 8gb stick in, but the prices are outrageous for DDR3!
@Fergy1987: used ddr3 prices are really ridiculous, it's more expensive than ddr4 new
i've also been running on 8gb with an i5 4590, i don't really need the cpu upgrade which is why i'm (reluctantly) abstaining from zen 2 but having to buy ddr3 in 2019 just kills me
@tpanny: Yeah I'm running the same CPU too, at the moment its running things fine, I think I really need that GPU upgrade though as the 750Ti doesnt quite cut the mustard anymore unfortunately.
@Fergy1987: DDR3 for a 920 was triple channel, it came in 3,6,9,12,15 increments
i had 6 gigs then bought another 9 so i could have 12gb
Same.. but it's time..
when is new nm coming out?
2021 will either be 6nm or 5nm. Next year will be 7nm+ whatever that means.
7nm+ is TSMC's name for their first extreme ultraviolet lithography-based (EUV or EUVL) process. EUVL increases pattern fidelity, opening up the next era of silicon nodes, down to about TSMC's 3nm (Samsung also, and late 7nm for Intel's parlance) without any other major design updates.
It should represent around a 15% increase in density, and 10-15% increase in either one or the other of power efficiency or clock speed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithograph…
Only 15% increase. I guess Moore's law is dead.
@MarsTitan: You'll probably want to understand what Moore's Law is before you make that comment again. Either way, this is an iterative update upon 7nm.
on a 4770K. Don't know if I should push through or save up a bit more for a 3700X or 3900X.
Same boat but want a cpu that will last another 5 years so leaning towards the 3900x or 3950x
That sounds like a good idea, except the 3900x is so expensive than if you bought something cheaper (such as this) and changed the CPU in 2 years, you'd get something better than it and the total cost for both CPUs will be less than your 3900x. That is assuming the new CPU will work on the same board, which granted is not a guarantee.
The 3900x is not 3x better than this. The value proposition is a lot less.
Depends what you play and what resolution your monitor is. Not much point if 1440p or higher imo.
Always go bigger.
Yeah, I meant to say if he's on 1440p then he could probably wait it out another generation as he'd still be GPU bottlenecked in anything not an eSport title.
AM4 is supported until 2020 so likely one more generation to be released. Buy what you need now and upgrade later, preferably second hand lol
I have the first gen 1600 I believe. Do I have to upgrade the mb too?
depends on your motherboard, most b350 and x370 boards do support 3rd gen after a bios flash, but check the motherboard manufacturers page
Go to your motherboard's model on their website and see if it does.
Do you have the same thoughts about v4 vs v6 or v8 engines?
Sure, we should build smaller and inward towards the highly efficient Quantum Universe rather than build bigger and outward towards the Cosmic realm.
In the absolutely infinitely small Universe everything gets done instantaneously with 0 processes… Zero is the ultimate goal!
You must have never seen a benchmark.
Motherboards seem really expensive for this platform/family. Any good deals around?
It depends on whether the retailer is willing to do the BIOS upgrade for you for free or not. A320 boards after BIOS upgrade can work with this and cheap ones RRP around $70. Cheapest B450 with BIOS flashback is MSI B450-A PRO. Do bear in mind on the limitation on B450. There are some decent ones, but the PCIe lanes are somewhat limited. If you go for a B450 with two m.2 slots (and you use both slots), you are pretty much left with just 1 PCIe x1 slot (as you would use PCIe x16 slot for your GPU). Pretty much just a Wifi 6 + Bluetooth 5 and that's it.
Would the Ryzen 5 2600 b better value for $184 also from Ebay instead of this?
For some people it's a better deal, depends how much speed you need.
Any point upgrading from a 1600 if I mainly play 4k non-competitive titles? I believe I'm mainly GPU bound as GPU usage is normally over 90% in games but CPU usage only hovers around 50%
I have
Ryzen 3 2300x
And
RX 570 8GB VRAM
Which should I upgrade for better gaming performance?
GPU
If you play first person shooters then its the RX570 but if you play RTS and CPU bound games its the 2300x… check reviews online to see if you will get any worthwhile inprovment before buying anything.
i see AMD products at a good price, i click like
