    I'd go with faster ram.

    • FabMan on 17/06/2019 - 09:39

      Why is that? Unless you do a lot of compressing / decompressing, or have a ultra high end GPU on a 1080p screen I'm not sure the increased costs are worth it. Though I could be missing something.

    • plague69 on 17/06/2019 - 09:41

    TBH I would wait for Zen 9 3900X benchmarks to come out.. I mean, sure might be slower in high fps games, but you'll be getting 12 cores and 24 (!!!!) threads.

        • FabMan on 17/06/2019 - 17:03

          Yeah those high number of cores aren't for everyone, but the money savings are. I reckon with consoles using 8 cores, realistically, fast 8 cores (plus HT) is where most ported games are going to be most effective.

    You have to be quite rich if you can somehow rationalize buying a 9900k when AMD is going to ruin them in just about every category.

        Ryzen 3000 series is released July 7. Review embargo is lifted then as well. So good idea to wait till then if possible.

        • Hogey 74 on 18/06/2019 - 16:42

          Yep. I've got two pc's and a decent laptop that are all super old. I'm waiting until this amd generation is out and proven before commencing the replacement program.

    • superroach on 17/06/2019 - 10:46

      While threadripper is amazing, there are optimizations (legitimate or not) in software that is out right now, that gives them an edge - video editing and encoding is one of these. I hope that amd stuff being more out now will change that, but it means you are buying on a hypothetical, not something you can take advantage of right away.

      • incipient on 17/06/2019 - 10:49

        For a consumer it's hard to justify TR. Add in the increased mobo cost and its just…expensive. If you're after amazing performance, the 3900/3950 is going to be hard to beat.

      • FabMan on 17/06/2019 - 11:13

        Microsoft recently released updates that improved the performanace of Ryzen chips, but it didn't fully benefit Threadripper. Intel's code patches for security has decreased their performance a little.

        When Ryzen 3000 series is released, they should be benchmarked against Intel and we'll get to see how, and if' the situation has changed.

        I'm on Intel hardware at the moment, but given the security issues plaguing Intel right now there is a more than reasonable chance that AMD may come to win overall.

        Only time will tell, but at this point it looks like kissing goodbye to hyper threading and other CPU features will hurt.
        Am a little annoyed my notebook will go from a 2core 4thread machine to just 2 core, thought in day to day use i'ts unlikely it will be noticed.
        i5-6600K on the desktop, so never had HT in the first place there.

        • lostn on 17/06/2019 - 13:08

          I'm not up to speed on Intel's vulnerabilities, but say what? They are going to patch out hyperthreading in Intel CPUs? Am I understanding you correctly?

          The point of paying the premium for i9 instead of the usual i7 is because they removed HT from i7 for 9th gen and made you pay even more for it. What is even the point of i9 now if this is what they're going to do?

          • FabMan on 17/06/2019 - 20:05

            @lostn: "the risk that side-channel surveillance techniques, such as MDS (ZombieLoad), may be able to break hardware thread isolation, and access sensitive data it shouldn't be able to see. In other words, one thread can snoop on the memory accesses of another thread sharing the same physical CPU core, and lift passwords, keys, and other secrets, potentially."

            It is a non-compulsory update as Intel states “Practical exploitation of MDS is a very complex undertaking. MDS does not, by itself, provide an attacker with a way to choose the data that is leaked.”, though ChromeOS has disabled Hyper Threading.

          • virtual81 on 18/06/2019 - 09:52

            @lostn: It hasn't happened yet, still waiting for the dust to settle, but there is a chance that it might need to happen.
            It might be good security practise to disable HT.

            I don't want to be alarmist, hence why i said 'may'.

            Intel have in my opinion been undisputed kings oh high end, but these recent issues combined with good gains made by AMD could change things.

            My personal circumstances put me in a position where lesser core, but higher clocked Intel CPU's perform best and at this point i'll stick to Intel until that changes (which could happen given healthy gains by AMD).

            • lostn on 18/06/2019 - 10:12

              @virtual81: If they remove HT, they are going to screw their product lineup, since a lot of CPUs differentiate themselves by having that HT capability and carrying a premium.

              It means some products will have to disappear from their range, or go down in price.

              • virtual81 on 27/06/2019 - 12:55

                @lostn: Totally agree, but do take my message with a bit of salt, I've read up on the issue but an not tightly intimate.

                I'm not tightly intimate with the details of the issue, but from what i can gather it might not come to a point where microcode updates / OS disable or mitigate against HT.

                Sounding like the reason being is that whilst a vulnerability exists it's the one that exploits HT is a highly unlikely scenario.

                Additionally, the logistics of applying the fix are a massive issue.

                I've never been fond of HT anyway, in my opinion the benefits for most end users are grossly overstated.

                To quote Intel marketing for the years the HT has existed….
                "Up to a 40% performance boost"

                To quote Intel after the vulnerability…
                "Less then a 7% performance loss"

                It's basically a side feature they disabled on i5's and 8th gen i3's to differentiate the i7

                • lostn on 27/06/2019 - 18:39

                  @virtual81: If all they did was disable HT on HT capable CPUs (i5, i3, and now 9th gen i7s) in order to charge you more for a non-disabled HT CPU, then I hope they get their dues.

                  I have i5 7th gen. For my next rig I was going to get i7 for the HT, but now that they are charging an even bigger premium for HT by making i9 the new i7, I'm going to have to reconsider.

      They can't make it that cheap without making almost no money because it's one giant piece of silicon.
      AMD had special glue which allows them to stick smaller batches of cores together, making them much cheaper to produce.
      They've now upgraded to magic unicorn glue, chiplets, huge caches, which means not only are they much cheaper to produce, they're actually FASTER per clock than Intel.

      It's Athlon 64 all over again!

      • FabMan on 17/06/2019 - 20:07

        "It's Athlon 64 all over again!"

        So Intel are going to illegally entice Dell and HP not to sell AMD again?
