For anyone considering that 8C/16T i9-9900K posted earlier for $926 probably best to save $172 and get this great 12 Core 24 Thread CPU instead (or wait 1 month for the i7-10700K which will effectively be an 8C/16T i9-9900K but with higher frequency for less money). Single threaded performance is still excellent while its multi-threaded performance is where it completely crushes the 9900K. Not as cheap as before the AUD went downhill but still significantly cheaper than any local store I can find

If anyone wants an X570 PCIe 4.0 motherboard that can handle this CPU with some overclocking the most reasonably priced ones that perform well include the following:

MSi X570 Tomahawk Max is upcoming and looks good but AU pricing is not finalised yet

This CPU will also be completely fine on a high quality B450 board like a MSi Tomahawk Max which have been on sale for less than $200 in the past. B550 boards are also coming up soon to bring PCIe 4.0 support to mid-range motherboards.

As I have alluded to in the comments (as well as some others) you can select Amazon AU as the seller for $789 delivered (no Prime needed) which will likely arrive faster (but who really knows with the postal system clogging up here)

      Ouch, if anyone says this isn't comparable due to Australian stock vs Amazon US (via amazon.com.au) stock, Amazon AU also has it in stock for $789 delivered (no Amazon prime needed for free delivery). There should not be any warranty issues regardless of whether you choose Amazon AU vs Amazon US as the seller.

      Note that ALL of these prices are in AUD (as both sellers are on the Amazon.com.au site)

        not sure how long it takes to delivery to your house, but in this epidemic I buy a graphic card from scorptec,
        the austrack shows 14/04 in VIC, nearly 2 weeks and it just stays there…. hope amazon will ship faster for everyone.

        • AussieDeals on 28/04/2020 - 11:04

          For me stuff has taken around 3 and a half weeks to arrive from the US lately but still has been taking about a week from Amazon AU (they seem to give conservative shipping estimates and then stuff has arrived earlier than they stated). However the situation will likely be very different for others depending on where they are

    Would have loved to invest into the AMD brand this cycle, but with focusing on building a Hackintosh (particularly for music production), the stability just doesn't seem to be there yet. Particularly jealous of them keeping the same AM4 socket for the 4xxx series.

          Not blue in the face. Sometimes it’s worth waiting but as you said yourself, DDR5 isn’t worth waiting for.

          The 3900X is crazy performance. It can always be sold when the new gen comes out to get a decent amount back.

            @cnut: 4000 series is 3 months away, and all 12-core AMD chips are likely to drop significantly in price.

            4000 series are extremely likely to deliver significant IPC improvements alongside this, so it's worth waiting.

              @jasswolf: zen3/ ryzen 4000 is coming late this year, if not early next year. Definitely not in the next 3 months according to all the information I've seen. rumours say 15-20% ipc increase, which is significant.

              • jasswolf on 28/04/2020 - 11:56

                @JW3B: It's July to September for launch.

                B550 boards launching mid-June is a good indicator of that, and then you've got NVIDIA pressuring the RDNA2 launch alongside this.

                Fact is that international travel is going to be a huge pain in the arse for sometime, so you'll likely see this launched online rather than at a rescheduled Computex.

                NVIDIA's keynote announcement dictates the additional lead time that non-Tiawanese players have needed to get back on track via remote working, at least in terms of workers but directly tied to chip production.

                Shipping routes, TSMC and GloFo never stopped, so the chips will be ready to be sold immediately after announcement if they so wish

                      @jasswolf: Well September/October is splitting hairs really if you read the article its around then. Either way its still much longer than your quoted 3 months which would make it July.

                      • jasswolf on 28/04/2020 - 12:11

                        @4foxache: It says August/September, with a goal of a Computex launch if September. That's never going to happen.

                        The original plan was May debut, likely sales at the start of July, so I can genuinely see a case for a late July sales dates under the right circumstances, because production never stopped.

                        Am I still splitting hairs?

                    @JW3B: The people reporting out of Taiwan say differently, but I'm happy to see a source.

                    Also, B0 is launch silicon, so that second date is basically referring to sales dates.

              @jasswolf: 3 months away, for an announcement, maybe.

              Intel was supposed to release 10th gen desktop Q1 2020.

              I always assume they will be later than the rumors. We wont see stock until September

              • jasswolf on 28/04/2020 - 13:15

                @greatlamp: As I've said repeatedly now, the original announcement date was supposed to be mid-May, and absolutely nothing has changed when it comes to chip logistics.

                They can launch any time they like from July onwards, with the biggest thing holding them back being OEM partners, not retail distribution.

      Early DDR5 will not represent an enormous leap, and by the time it does, process architectures will likely require on-chip memory and cache solutions to deliver the kind of performance changes we've come to expect.

      Grab the 4000 series and wait for all that to fall into place in 2022 or later.

      • cnut on 28/04/2020 - 11:18

        As you said, early DDR5 won’t be much better than current late gen DDR4. So that’ll be a few years away.

        It took a while for DD4 to reach peak performance. At the start decent DDR3 was arguably better than low end DDR4. Same will happen now.

        • jasswolf on 28/04/2020 - 11:21

          Near-memory and cache changes are far more important for improving processor speed nowadays, and will be the next thing targeted heavily.

          RAM is the biggest bottleneck in modern computing right now, and DDR5 doesn't really move the needle there.

          • cnut on 28/04/2020 - 11:22

            @jasswolf: Ah right. That I didn’t really think of.

  • JW3B on 28/04/2020 - 11:30

    Good deal considering the pc market at the moment. You'd have to be nuts to buy a 9900k, on average the 3900x is 5-6% slower in games only at 1080p using a 2080ti. In every other circumstance the performance difference is nothing, or even beats the 9900k in a few games. And any multi threaded workloads , it absolutely destroys the Intel chip.

    Additionally you'll be able to upgrade to the zen3 based Ryzen 4000 series, which is rumoured to have 15-20% ipc increase in addition to higher clocks coming later this year or early next year. This will likely be when AMD takes the gaming crown from Intel, even though they are practically neck and neck currently.

    The 10th gen Intel chips coming out soon are still based on 5 year old skylake cores, and are basically re-branded 9th gen with hyper threading enabled, a few extra mhz and 2 more cores on the top end i9, and its a new LGA1200 socket so you'll need a new motherboard.

        Technically true at 1080p using the highest end GPU, and only 5% slower on average. At the cost of nearly twice the power draw, and comparatively woeful multi-threaded performance, and decently more expensive too. That 5-6% fps gain may be worth it for all the trade off's for some people, but not most.

    my worry is the motherboard for zen cpu has that little cooling fan, it is prone to premature failure?

    • JW3B on 28/04/2020 - 11:41
      +1

      its only the top end x570 boards that have the chipset fan, most of them are rated for 50-60k hours of continuous use. And are easily replaceable on most boards.
      You could always go for the mid range B450/B550 boards that have passive cooling on the chipset, so no fan.

      • Austere on 28/04/2020 - 12:15

        how bad is it to manually remove the fan to reduce noise?

        • JW3B on 28/04/2020 - 12:17

          Dunno why you'd do that, the noise is basically inaudible. Have a look at some x570 board reviews

        • [Deactivated] on 28/04/2020 - 13:03

          Depends on the motherboard. The Gigabyte Aorus Extreme doesn't have a chipset fan but it's very expensive. There are some boards where there's a heatpipe connecting the chipset heatshink to the VRM heatsink so the chipset fan doesn't really turn on anyway like the MSI MEG ACE.

          Alternatively there are passive chipset mods if you're feeling brave

          Not sure what the point of just manually removing the fan would be if the concern is fan failure? If it dies it dies, probably won't make a huge difference to the board. For noise, case fans are going to be louder generally, and most boards have profiles where the chipset fan doesn't really turn on till there's some load on the system anyway.

          • Austere on 28/04/2020 - 14:41

            @[Deactivated]: Heard it some manufacturers had 0db modes, although that's only under low load.

            Was really hoping the fan was an unnecessary engineering spec that could be safely removed as those no-fan boards are each ~$1k

    Some of the 450 motherboards need a BIOS update to support Ryzen Gen 3. It's a pain as you need an older supported chip to do that or a CPU-less bios loading system. Been reading all about it…

  • dualscyther on 28/04/2020 - 20:58

    Also consider X370 and X470 boards (used or new). I picked up my Asrock Taichi X370 for $180 and my 3900X for $650 (second hand, but unopened) after FTC did their thing (had to file a chargeback). Everything's working perfectly, including support for ECC ram - though most users won't care too much about that.

    Good for the environment, good for the wallet, good for feeling like you're wasting less money when you upgrade in the future ;)
