The 10700 and 10700k is basically more in line with the 3700x and 3800x short of you having a microcenter near by, and they should easily beat those in gaming by 5-10%.


Yeah but the problem here is they are a year behind, the 3700X and 3800X are about to be replaced in a few months with the 4000 series so that 5-10% will be gone, the Intel mindshare is long gone by now and everyone is waiting for the new Ryzen.

I would be shocked if Intel sells very many of these, even Intel fans are saying not to buy with 10nm next year and a new mobo required. Just not worth it for the 7th rehash of 14nm.

Questions, have been busy this week, just read headlines:

1. What is up with AMD?

2. AMD Ryzen, I might purchase for my NAS. Thoughts?

3. Not news, but does anyone ALWAYS have trouble updating LogitechHub? Every update the update seems to "time out" or "fail", leaving the program halfway installed and uninstalled. I then have to manually go delete registry entries and folders, then do a fresh install.

Remember the issues I had with my mouse?

Well when I copied over my old hard drive to the new ssd the Logitech hub corrupted and won’t respond anymore. Ever since then my old mouse has been fine.

This happened right after I bought a new mouse

Logitech software is straight AIDs

Half the time the app doesn't even open. Thankfully I have my binds on the mouse internal memory

Glad i'm not the only one, also glad you found out the problem.

I've been on the verge of reinstalling a fresh Win10 just because I can't figure out why it is happening for every update.

For those with ChromeCasts and/or Google Nest Hubs/Homes, any issues with browser tab refreshing?

Since whatever update Google pushed to ChromeCasts and/or Google Chrome, the tab I'm casting from times-out/refreshing every 10-15 seconds. I tried only on 2 W10 laptops and my MainPC.

Did anyone experience a similar issue?

Edt: This is the only thing I can find on the issue, so far.. LINK

So who is a little ticked AMD ended support for 300/400 series mobos for their zen 3 release? Luckily I got an X570 board last year for my 3600 build, but I considered a B450 board to save a few bucks too. Know someone with a B450 board who is pretty pissed, they have a 2700x and now pretty upset cant go higher than a zen 2 chip.

AMD gave a really weird reason for not supporting at least 400 series boards too with the bios "not being big enough" to add the CPU support for zen 3.

Pretty Intel-esque move by AMD to say they will support AM4 socket for 4 years then basically forcing people with the first 2 year boards to upgrade anyways to get zen 3 support still on AM4. Interesting to see if they go back on this and at least support B450/X470 boards.

Ryzen 1 came out in 2017 right? I mean that’s still 3+ years of support of CPUs on a single socket.

BIOS chips do have size limitations. I’m not too upset about it.

B450/X470 essentially supported 3 entire CPU cycles.

I mean it's still awesome sure you can put 3 generations of CPUs on different chipsets for sure, but they said 4 generations and now backed off that. Can understand why people with X370/X470/B450 boards certainly feel a bit cheated there. IF they never promised that, I'm sure no one would really be upset. I mean even last year they were saying directly they would support 4 full generations on chipsets with AM4, which is why a lot of people bought B450 over X570 in the last year still. Just seems like a very Intel-esque move to do this, they shouldn't have that big an issue working around the bios issue just working with those manufacturers to release a downloadable bios for the newest chips basically and ending support for older chips when upgrading. This move they are doing is obviously to just make more $, riding the wave.

My 3900x works fully on my x370.

Was planning to upgrade again on the board because it was still going to be supported. May skip this generation this time.

A 3900x on an X370 board will last you a long time. Why would you need to upgrade right away? That is good for years

Look while this is disappointing, there is a legit issue with boards that don’t have adequate BIOS sizes. MSI had that issue with their boards this past generation. 3 cycles of CPUs is a ton of CPUs to support in a BIOS, let alone potentially another generation.

Motherboard manufacturers may have to rerelease boards like MSI did or cut support for CPUs in their existing boards with new BIOS updates to make things work for a new generation of CPUs.

For AMD, to say they will support something and then not to live up their word, is bad, and they should not make a habit of doing that.

But I can understand where they are coming from, as someone who designs and verifies hardware components (and produces a shitload of documentation) for a living.

Bought a 1700x in 2017, 2700 in 2018, and 3900x in ‘19. Gotta keep it moving bro

I've haven't been more impressed with price/performance of a CPU since SandyBridge.

Edt: Thinking about buying a 3300X for emulator build.

A 3300x is basically a $120 7700k in 2020. 4 years ago that seemed fricking nuts to think about.

Insane right?

I emulate everything off my Pi4 but it can't do GC games, and we like Mario Party 5.

So will purchase to make a cheap emulation box with which GPU, still don't know, but I want a 3300X.

And now AMD backtracks, B450 and X470 will support zen 3 chips
