Got my 3950X, didn't get a $30 discount on my B450 motherboard :( But a good day none the less.

Thanks! Got one reserved now.

I know people want their CPUs, but don't pretend paper launches haven't been a thing for a long, long time... Though I wish AMD would be more clear about availability.

I'm in the "3900X if I can't get a 3950X" club at this point. Will find out tomorrow. Gonna be smug as hell if I actually pick up a 3950X that's for sure.

I remember reading about the 3950X having a "65W" mode but I don't recall any of the reviews actually testing it. 105W TDP, actual power consumption is well above that. But it's VERY close to the 3900X because of binning and how AMD handles power limits.

Haha yeah sounds like there might be a mini [H] meet if MC actually has any in stock lol I called Duluth myself. From the sounds of things I'm not optimistic about either having any in stock :(

Should give him a ring, I'd rather not drag myself out to MC at 10am if they're not gonna have what I need in stock. :( I'm assuming they ACTUALLY know by now what they'll have in stock come Monday.

Called my local and they basically just said they didn't know. If they don't I think I'll just pick up a 3900X and be done with it, not willing to wait another 2-3 months for a CPU. Would also be very disappointing to see AMD do a paper launch, particularly when they had a time gap between the...

Hoping microcenter has some in stock...

Isn't this the same fake leak from months ago?

Intel finding new and "exciting" ways to re-release the same chips and get more reviews to attract clicks. It's all just mildly refined 2017 dies, be it this or the HDET refresh. But reviewers need the clicks too, it's not like they're gonna say "meh it's a clock bumped 9900K, not worth a review".

Maybe not on it's own, but it's obvious that BOTH AMD and Intel aren't able to just leave clock speed on the table like they have in the past. As soon as AMD started being competitive Intel went from selling chips with 500-1000mhz of headroom to selling chips with more like 100-200mhz of...

Or or or, we could all chill out and wait for launch and real reviews with real overclocking numbers instead of angry typing on the internet? Hahaha just kidding. (Also why would you argue with someone whose profile says they're Anti-AMD, just ignore it lol)

Plus or minus a mandatory motherboard update :)

Could use pastebin or something of the sorts.
