Zen3 Worth waiting for?
Zen3 Worth waiting for?
I’m preparing to set up my new system now, so I’ve already ordered the RAM and an M.2 SSD. Should I wait for this release, or is the upcoming ZEN3 better than the i9 10850K or Ryzen 9 3900XT at today’s price? My daughter is eager to get her own PC, and I’m aiming to finish by mid-November.
It looks like Zen 3 shows some potential based on the leaks and whispers, but we should keep an eye on its capabilities before deciding. What specific demands will it handle? We still lack clarity on its performance and cost. You might want to hold off and see how it stacks up.
by late November Zen3 will likely be out (announcements in October and it should take about two weeks) and whispers suggest it will perform much better. With eight-core CCX you won’t face latency problems in Zen2, which explains why Intel maintained an advantage over AMD while AMD excelled in single-core performance in Zen2. Some are advising patience for Zen3, pointing out that it promises at least a 40% boost compared to what came before. Now the situation is changing—those who bought the 2080Ti later wish they had waited just a month or two.
I’ll be using my PC for gaming with maximum graphics settings. I’ll also handle video editing and rendering, and I’m thinking about the storage needs for that work.
Zen2 is functioning well at the moment, but Zen3's imminent release makes me hesitant to rush unless absolutely necessary. The upcoming changes will combine two 4-core CCX into one 8-core CCX, eliminating a significant data link bottleneck and boosting performance—especially with improved IPC and clock speed.
make sure they function correctly, since the return window could close before your system is ready.
