No, LN2 was high 5's breaking every record known to desktop computing.

The 3950X has special binning, they are elite elite.

Yes that is what I told you a few years back where AMD was going (shoulda bought stock then too).

I didn't trust the players. We just went through the same promises from them 4-6yrs prior with Bulldozer and no ideas on their next ARCH on the graphics side.

I'm still "concerned" about the graphics business at AMD. Concerned might be the wrong term here, they just won't have an open field with nVidia like they had with Intel.

The CPU business we knew would come around and be "competitive". I don't think anyone thought it would be like this, with AMD on the brink of domination.

But who would have predicted Intel to literally stop innovation on their process tech after Sandy Bridge? Then once they decide to start progressing again, Intel fumbles not only their new process tech, but the new manufacturing tech! So now you aren't set back 2yrs, but 4yrs.

What a fckking diaster by Intel.

What a performance by AMD.

Want to see something funny?

I Googled "3950X Binning Special"

Got this nugget:
quote:

You see, the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X is already manufactured using two 8-core dies, it's just that four cores are disabled on the 12-core processor, which makes it easier to bin than the 16-core 3950X.

IDT the author understands product binning and that they just described it.

Jesus Christ.

When I first got into PC gaming in 99, Intel had gotten lazy and AMD's original Athlon caught them off guard. And now we've come full circle again.
Just hope Intel doesn't go the way of 3dfx.

Intel also had their own video card back then (i740) and now they're itching to get back in that market.

Where do you guys sell stuff locally because it would be annoying to package and ship?

Look to clear out some space but unloading most of my Amiibo dupes in bulk. But searching on Craigslist for "Nintendo" returns 8 results. Guessing no one uses Craigslist anymore.

I don't have Facebook, so that leaves me with Let Go?

Anything suggestions?

I only use Craigslist, Facebook and Reddit

I bet Reddit has a pretty strong amiibo presence

dude, Facebook Marketplace has been nothing but good for my area. I'd make one just to access it if I were you.

Ryzen 5 3600 looks so promising:
LINK

Keep in mind that's a $199 chip. It's single core performance easily beats the 2700x (by 10%+), and is only 3-4% slower than 9900k. Also beats the 2700x in each gaming test, only by a little in some, but really impressive for a $199 chip with a base clock of 3.6ghz and boost of 4.2ghz.

From the article
quote:

Ryzen 5 3600 is shown to have posted excellent single-core scores and very good gaming performance surpassing the Ryzen 7 2700X and almost on par with the Intel Core i9-9900K.


While the 9900k is 8, 10, and 25fps higher in the gaming benches mentioned in the article

86 vs. 80 in Assassin's Creed and 143.3 vs. 134.7 in Final Fantasy XV. Those aren't really that significant of a difference especially when you consider the 9900k is almost a $500 CPU while the 3600 is a $200 CPU, and the lowest end on the new Ryzen 3xxx stack (without IGP) with the lowest clocks.

Far Cry obviously heavily favors Intel CPUs and the ryzen gets crushed there.

What's going to be most interesting is seeing the whole product stack in gaming compared to intel counterparts among a ton of different games.
