Speculation: Ryzen 3000 series

[DisarmedDespot]

I'm curious about the Ryzen 5 3600. How accurate will the 65 watt TDP be? I've got a 2200G and a 1050 Ti crammed in a NES (OG grey Nintendo console) case, so saving every watt really helps keep the thermals down. I went with the 2200G since I can move it to a work PC if I do upgrade. What are the chances the 3600 will be more power efficient than the older 4-core 4-thread 2200G?

Okay, we now have a thread where we can [discuss AdoredTV]

Here it is:

I fixed your statement above because I already
told you not to do this in this thread again.

Don't let it happen a third time.

I got a feeling its gonna be nearly the same or a hair more? I would be certainly blown away if this 3600 is that efficient. I hope its that efficient. I got a FX8350 rig as a htpc and JUST maybe i may have a bit of fun with a 3600 upgrade. I need a excuse to build something new. Who knows perhaps my 8700 non k will land in htpc territory. Bad enough i sat on 4 cores going from 2008 till 2018. I miss the upgrade bug

Btw i like your build its pretty genius. What games are you playing with that set up?

There's a 100% chance the 3600 is more power efficient than 2200G.

You may be surprised but while using a dGPU the stock 2200G uses around the same power as any AMD 6c/12t 65W TDP CPU and any stock configured Intel CPU.

Spoiler: Power numbers from Techpowerup

AMD calculates CPU TDP based on the cooler they use and on the temperature point they want to keep the SKU for optimal operation. Considering they'll use the same coolers for Zen2 and that the temperature points are unlikely to change much, I'm pretty sure the R5 3600 stock will stay very close to the power numbers you're already used to in 2200G.

For the same amount of power the R5 2600 is probably 25% faster in games than 2200G, and based on the minimal data we have on Zen2 in gaming we can presume R5 3600 will be about 20% faster than R5 2600 for a total of 50% improved performance at iso power. If you're willing to trade some of that performance for lower power, you can always disable turbo on the 3600 and end up with both more performance and significantly lower power draw.

Interesting numbers, i wonder which game they used for getting these numbers. Fair assumption its a lightly threaded one? My 8700 non k barely registers usage in most of my games which keeps the thermals very much in check. I have to stress test my cpu to honestly have temps normally hit over 60cel. I don't even hit 60cel in BF5 and that is with a cheap CM 212 in a single fan config

With all the cpu power at hand at lowish tdp I think the time has come to help the climate - lol
With a 3700x 8c at 65tdp that's what my boy teen gets next time. He simply burns electricity like crazy as he plays 144hz 1440 and never accepts anything going below 120Hz while he watch a YouTube video or 2 and keep contact on social media with 50 tabs.
Perhaps a change of his Vega 56 too but I am a bit more sceptical here for the efficiency of the new gpu as ddr6 power usage vs hbm 2 is a lot to compensate for.

Anyone familiar with AMD thinking would have known that AMD would only pushed down the prices at the top.

What AMD wanted most was to increase profit margin and steal sales from Intel.

AMD was already dominating the <$200 market; Intel simply isn't very competitive in this segment.

It's the $200-$500 market that AMD has its eyes on; Intel dominate this segment.

If AMD increase the core count across the lineup, it would make the whole lineup much more attractive, which is not what AMD want.

Instead, AMD want to draw consumers attention especially to the $500 Ryzen 9, and did so by giving 50% more core count than Intel did

Well you are not wrong but that doesn't mean you are right either. AMD certainly wants to raise ASP. They have been doing that for awhile. But I think it's a bit different. The 12c is less about having a $500 product. It would make little difference if this was a 12 or 16c product. The problem is a 16c CPU drives the whole product stack down a peg when you also have a 12c selection. I think AMD sees 8c CPU's being the sweet spot and between that and the increased production costs want to keep 6c and 8c prices from bottoming out. Part of that is at least with enthusiasts they happen to do really well in the sub $200 product ranges, but the part being that they really really don't want to push those two down there just yet. It would strengthen their lead but if people aren't moving to the higher core products then lowering the price on those two will only hurt their ASP.

Still on 3770k at 4.6ghz with a rtx 2070. I was looking really closely at upgrading to a Ryzen 2700 during the recent sales but the single core performance is more or less the same as what I already have so it wasnt worth it as I only do some 1440p gaming and then just typical web browsing. I dont stream gaming I dont do any video editing or anything needing a ton of cores. I would be looking at a near $500 expense for cpu+ram+mobo with only a small 10fps gain.

Will be interested to see what kind of single core performance the R2 3700 has and if its confirmed to have spectre hardware fixes.

A heresy?

With AMD aiming for roughly an annual release cadence in their CPUs, should the budget enthusiast continue to buy at the lower end of the range and upgrade more often? It seems to me that future proofing a build has gone away, at least for the next few years.

Zen3 and further derivatives should push the limits as for example, I'm starting to hear a bit about Soft machines tech being used soon.

If you are genuinely interested in Matisse and want something that will last for awhile without breaking the budget, I would think a 3700x with an oversized cooler for OC (if necessary) might be a good way to go.

Or you can try to go cheaper with a 3600.

AMD plans to keep hitting year after year, so if you wait, yes, you will be rewarded. But eventually you will want to buy something.

Somewhere in this thread it was mentioned that for older motherboards, only PART of the PCIE4 would work. Thats why its not a problem. I don't remember if its the video or the M.2 that is enabled, but only one of the two vs x570 has everything enabled.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect anything from the chipset to run PCI-e 4.0 on older boards. I'm actually kind of surprised the 1x slots on x570 seem like they are 4.0. Chipset was all 2.0 on Ryzen before, I thought they'd drop to 3.0 for x570. I'd guess the reason this runs hot is the chipset is essentially a pci-e 4.0 pci-e switch, and not a really simple one either. Some of the pci-e 2.0 versions of those required at least passive cooling.

Don't understand?
You mean it has went away as it is so ridiculously easy now?

If you bought a good AM4 board in 2017, be it X370 or top end B350 you have had at least 3 generations of CPUs. Your X370 might even get a PCIe4 slot and you might see as much as a doubling of compute performance from 1800X to 3900X.

You have to go all the way back to the days of Skt939 to have anything like that change in performance - and that was because core count doubled.

I can undervolt and OC (3.6 - 3.7 all core) the R7 1700 and it only pulls maybe 80w according to hwinfo64.

The 2200g system idles at 21w and maybe does 60w ish full load in Win10 with the power plan tweaked, based on the kill-a-watt meter.

A pure under-volt on the 3600 could make it very cool.

I think his point was if AMD releases ryzen 4 in a year with even more cores, higher IPC, higher clocks and ddr5, then that sounds like worth the wait.

But "it may be worth the wait" always has been the case, only the years between Sandy Bridge and the launch of Zen had a prolonged period of performance "stability" where the updates where relatively minor and could as well be achieved by overclocking.

plus realistically ddr5 will be like all other new memory
Twice the price for the same performance
**at least when it’s first launched**

Ah - that interpretation of "future-proof" is very different from mine.

If your gonna wait for the next big thing, you'd never get off the fence!

 

[EXCellR8]

Specs on the 3700X aren't quite as juicy as what had been speculated; I'm not sure if ASRock is planning beta BIOS for my board as of yet. That TDP sure is nice though.

Don't really need the PCIe 4.0 yet but I don't really want to swap in a new board at the moment. The X570 boards that are currently advertised are far too RGB-fabulous for my taste.

I’m having a similar thought. Needing the extra drive speed isn’t that important to me. Starting to wonder if I should go with a decent X470 board.

 

[beginner99]

Not really. You would then have pcie4 and ddr5. AFAIK pcie5 isn't really client focused and there is no apparent need for it either in contrast to ddr5. So if in a year you buy a 16-core ryzen 4 with ddr5 and pcie4 you are set for >5 years. I don't see what would be the next big thing then. plus maybe it's a new socket on AMD side for which you will have upgrade options in case there actually is a next big thing. But I doubt the will go above 16-cores on client anytime soon, some stagnation like with quads.

 

[Tuna-Fish]

DDR5 will be a much bigger deal for APUs than for CPUs. The big advantage of the chiplet design is that AMD can release a Zen3 CPU with the same core chiplet and different IO chiplets for both AM4 and AM5, so I'd expect X570 to have a CPU upgrade path.

16-cores with dual-channel ddr4 will be bandwidth limited in some scenarios so it will certainly help such cpus as well.
