There are no 'enthusiast' CPUs, no 'mainstream' GPUs?
Your comments are not mainstream.Oh. My. GOD!!! Who the fuck cares about "mainstream" "consumer" "pro". You guys arguing about these semantics are coming across as idiots and are derailing the thread. Give it a friggin rest!
Your comments are not mainstream.
Is the 3950x mainstream?Start a new thread. Lets get back to the 3950x conversation.
Answer: only after one is sold.Is the 3950x mainstream?
IMO only Intel fanboi's would not call the 3950x mainstream...why? Cause it make Intel look bad. There is no other way to put it.

I disagree. 3950 is niche.Yep...fuckn a that was easy!? Can we move on now? Or should we waste 3 more pages of this thread debating something that .01% of the world gives two shits about?

Thats why people sometimes, you just need to put certain people on ignore. It helps so much!
I'm pretty sure the argument is about price not brand loyalty.IMO only Intel fanboi's would not call the 3950x mainstream...why? Cause it make Intel look bad. There is no other way to put it.

At this point you might as well wait for the 4000 series AMD CPUs and get an even better upgrade over your 2700x.After seeing all of the benchmarks and reviews, I REALLY want a 3950X even though I have absolutely NO USE CASE for it.
Why do I want it? Because it's the fastest AM4 socket CPU right now and it's faster in games than the 3700X and 3800X which would be the two CPUs I'd be looking to upgrade to given my lack of need for > 8 cores/16 threads.
But my 2700X is fine. Just fine. I don't need to upgrade. Nope. Must resist. Literally drop the CPU in, everything else can stay the same. Nope. Don't need it. Dear Santa...
I'm pretty sure the argument is about price not brand loyalty.
If they bought that back, the marketing alone would be worth it...So...who is going to be the first to take the 3900x + a mechanical pencil & make a 3950x ?
And arguing about price is pointless because price doesn’t really define these specific segments. People are just really hung up on the terminology for some insane reason.
We'll see.. this is the last of the AM4 socket chips, right? Or will there be another Zen 2+ as well?
And I don't know why anyone would be surprised at being called out for calling a >US$700 CPU 'mainstream'
class/segment the CPU is in. Price has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Pretty sure that's where the disagreement is. Class and segment are not defined without some input from price.
I love these arguments... Intel is cutting prices in half because they've been overcharging by that much... Now that AMD is charging prices simar to Intel's cut in half prices... They are excessive?? No, they made Intel come down to reality for you. Yes, they are a business and want to make money, and now that Intel finally had to cut prices to even come within 100% $/perf of AMD, you act as if AMD asking for 1/2 of what Intel was charging 2 months ago is an insult to you and your family, while giving Intel a pass. How dare AMD charge price/performance only 20-40% better than Intel, it should be 1/2 off of Intel's new half off... Great argument .Lol no. If Intel doesn't counter with anything in the next several year you will see AMD's prices start going up not down. Just look at TR.
