AMD Zen 3 Increases L3 Cache?

Along with IPC refinements and increase, the increased cache should help out a little with productivity/creation.

all this news about Zen3 makes me feel bad that i'm about to purchase a Zen2, it's like what's the point? :(
 
After all those Intel processor re-posts ur going Zen? huh. go figure.
yup, been saving up for the 3950X, got my ram and nvme drive already


Ryzen 3950X Build Help

So far i've already got the following components:

RTX 2080 Ti FE

Inland 1TB NVMe M.2 (Phison E12 Controller)

Samsung 950 Pro 512GB NVMe M.2

Corsair AX1200 PSU

Corsair H115i RGB AIO Water Cooler


G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (For AMD Ryzen) Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin RGB DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC
 
Nice List. Wait for Zen3 and snag a 3000 series cheap.

16 cores get me going. Unforunately I have nothing to use them. I was looking at the 3950x for a while just for the higher single (dual) core boost.

Why the 2080ti FE rather than something with better cooling / higher power limit?

already own the 2080 Ti FE from Elmy

also i wonder what gains i'll get coming from a Haswell-EP 18-core @ 2.2 GHz base and 3.8GHz Max Turbo? think it'll be a big improvement architecturally or meh?
 
Dont need the cores and money to burn? Futureproofing? A 3600x will give you similar gaming performance.

heh, i've got a weird ignorance about all of that. i was into video rendering using (Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve) and some 3D rendering (Maya and the like), but haven't been for awhile... lets mask the ignorance and stupidity with the reason being "futureproofing" ... i got the Haswell-EP in 2017, so haven't been doing annual upgrades
 
fair enough, going six instead of four core in my case has served me well.

I am going to guess around 40%.

The extra cores can be nice. Encoding and gaming at the same time, ect.

that's about nuts, i think you're spot on !!

i know someone with like a 9900 of some for sort and i saw exactly that difference between our 2080 Tis !!!!

Youre still getting an awesome CPU. I had planned on upgrading my first gen Ryzen sig machine and using it for another build, but life got in the way and I had to hold off. I'm still perfectly happy with the performance.

A little? You must be jesting

The future is literally going to be like a sandwich stacked 1TB l3 cache. Yes AMD and Intel have released white papers on it

Once they do that were looking at mining Jupiters moons for gold kinda power.

Zen + to zen2 doubled opcache and have exponentially increased performance as a product. I am encoding h265 at 2 to 3 times faster on my 3900x than my 2950x could.

Take the 3600 for example

You get 32mb of l3 cache for 200 bucks?????
Unfucking heard of in ever!

People.are brain dead kind of clueless as what kind of value they are getting with that much cache for 200 bucks.
