Really tempting, but need to hold out for reviews. Itching to replace my x97 i5 Haswell setup, but overclock-ability of the Ryzen 5s will 100% make the decision for me as I can already do 4.2ghz stable all day on my current CPU.
Damn you money in my pocket damn you.
Why should that be the deciding factor? If the Ryzen R5 can easily outperform your i5 in key tasks for you, even if it does it at lower clock speeds, wouldn't it be a good buy?Really tempting, but need to hold out for reviews.

I bought two of each. I do not have samples from AMD yet.Kyle did you order any of these to test before the NDA?
Pretty tempted to get a R5 1600 to update my son's rig. Although he does already have a i5-6400, but I can move that over to my daughters rig to replace her older i3 setup. Just have been holding off mostly to wait a few months to let some of the wrinkles get ironed out. Tough though, I have the itch to try out new hardware.......
At least you will get some real world CPUs instead of a cherry picked one.
Why not just get him the 1400 instead? Does he really need 12 threads?
No. First of all it was already tested with one CCX disabled and there was no real benefit and the 4c/8t models are 2+2 setups with 2 cores in each CCX active.The 6 cores are just defected or bin down 8 core models. Same dies thus same o/c head room. Where we could see a difference is the 4 core 8 thread chips as those should just have one die. These could be a really good bargain depending on how well they oc
In my opinion, I would not expect much if any over what we are seeing now with the R7 CPU's. The real limiting factor is the LLP 14 process these are built on but, it also makes them more than efficient and they will be very fast regardless.
Don't know what criteria might be for [H] Giveaway, but throw my name (or callsign) in.
Gots to build pity-box for security guard that used to patrol Zenimax, but never got to
play dum, er Doom, er whatever. Cept with the unwelcome folk milling about outside.
Could do the blind drop at Microcenter lot? Just be sure and make it look extra shady.
I have to buy all the other parts anyway...
How do i get in on this?
Anyway, depending on how the 1500X prices out, it's looking pretty temping over my 880K.
Yes, my mistake. Max 125 / Spired 95 / Stealth 65w.Kyle, the video above, did you say the Wraith Max was the 65W cooler? I thought the Wraith Max was the 125W cooler? Wraith Spire being the 95W and the Wraith Stealth being the 65W?
