Holy shit, are you me? Will do the same as soon as the B550 boards are hitting the shelves this week.

Digitimes || Ryzen 4000 Delayed to January 2021 Due to Ryzen 3000 Success [Up: Apparently false rumor; AMD says everything on track]
- Thread starter ILikeFeet
- Start date
Considering the new consoles seem to be targeting 30fps again what PC CPU is going to be able to double their framerates?
I'm fine with my 3900x but I really hope NVIDIA doesn't delay their GPU line this year. I really want a 3080 or 3080ti.
Mostly any modern cpu.
The GPU carries most of the weight in games.

well, a lot of those games were made for shitty tablet cpus
Unfortunately this rumor makes sense, given the matisse refresh that's seems likely to happen, plus just getting out of the way of their own graphics releases.
Not at all sure, we could easily see a high-end X670 chipset to go with Zen 3. Unless I missed something, I think most people are expecting one?
True, except Rocket Lake isn't expected on 10nm but on the same 14nm as existing Skylake-derived CPUs.

I upgraded from an FX to a ryzen 2600 in 2018. I can't imagine running one now especially for AAA. You can easily justify an upgrade, I got something like 150% performance increase and that was two years ago.
Knew this would happen as soon as the rumors of the XT variants of the 3000 CPUs started popping up.
Honestly if you're building in time for Cyberpunk or next gen launch, the 3600 and 3700x are still fantastic CPUs. You aren't really missing out grabbing those.

I play some MMOs (like Guild Wars 2) that are a bit more reliant on the CPU, so even with my 2080 Super the performance is all over the place.
The price of the 3000 series is fantastic right now. Anything from a 3600 upwards is going to be a tremendous upgrade from your 4 core / 4 thread CPU.
A 3700X will double the PS5/XBSX 30fps framerates even though they themselves have 8 core / 16 thread CPU's clocked at 3.5GHz? That doesn't sound right at all.
I'm in the process of trying to build a PC that will offer next gen games at 60 but a lot of people are saying to wait.
I'm saying focus on getting a gpu that's better than the consoles as the cpu won't make the difference, it's usually a 10% max for modern chips compared to GPUs
You can have a literal worse cpu than the next gen machines and double their framerates with a better gpu. Resolution is what matters and if you want 4K 60 wait for the 3080ti, nothing available now will give you 4K 60 in every single modern game. 1440p 60 is another story.
Okay thanks. What GPU would you recommend, a 2080 Ti or wait for 3000 series? I already have a standard 2070.
I have a i7-6700K 4.0Ghz is a 3000 series big enough upgrade or should I just wait for Zen 4 then?
I had 6700 non k. The jump was astonishing.
But focus on 8 cores or more.
I updated my post but it depends on the resolution you want to play at. If you want 4K 60 across the board 100% wait for 3080ti, should be out by September or October.
You should wait for the 3000 cards regardless at this point though, even if you want to play games at less than 4K resolution. The 3070-3080 will be great for 1440p high frames (well above 60) in nearly all modern games for a good while.
So I was waiting for the Zen 3's like everyone else, but with this being a plausible announcement, I've just grabbed the 3900x ('upgrading' from a Xeon 1231 v3) since it's relatively cheap at the moment. I have a 1080ti, so I'll just grab one of the New GPUs later in the year/next year then ride out the gen until I feel like I start needing a new CPU, if the Zen 3's are a good enough leap forward.
I have delayed my upgrade from Skylake for over a year, I guess I can go on for another 6 months. Will leave me more money to spend on PS5.
Same, I have the KS, but its like.... uhh kay. Guess Ill just be upgrading a few months later than usual.
Edit: Hopefully the motherboards are great or somehow benefits from this delay. Thats the only thing Im really worried about.
Yup same. The entire reason I want to upgrade is for pcie4 ssd speeds (the ps5 viable stuff at least) so I'm hoping there's good options out in the beginning of 2021.
Its gonna feel good man. Laugh as Chrome tries to gobble up all your RAM and fails. Muaahahaha. Best part of my jump to 32gb.
Wanted to upgrade to 3080 and Ryzen 4000 this year D:
I guess 3080 and Ryzen 3000 it is for 2020 build

If true, and I'd like to hear this from AMD before believing it. It's only 4 months, that's not a crazy wait but lots of people were likely preparing PC builds for this fall.
I also want to see AMD keep moving forward, I hope they are continuing to work on newer tech or keep improving the 4000 series (4 extra months could let them eke out higher clocks speeds?). The more time they wait, the more time Intel has to catch up.

Damn it. Oh well, my rig is horribly GPU bottle necked, GTX 770 against an i5-6600k.
Really looking forward to the new Nvidia cards, god I hope those aren't terribly delayed.

Yes, wait.
Wait until next gen games come out.
Look at benchmarks then.
Current games have to run on 2013 netbook processors.
Also ray tracing is going to be a big thing.
Wait until next gen Nvidia and AMD GPUs.
This is the worst time to buy a gaming PC in my opinion.
Dude, forget the CPU. No game is going to be CPU bound at 30 FPS. None. Zero. You won't need double the CPU power to get 60 FPS out of a 30 FPS console game. You'll need a more powerful GPU. That's it*.
*Assuming your CPU is decent anyway. I guarantee you a 3700x will be good enough to not be a bottleneck for 60 FPS. If you want 120+ maybe you'll need something more powerful for a handful of games (Ubisoft open world).
It doesn't, it's mostly likely a result of the AM4 support backlash, and the delay makes the perceived support longer. It's also possible they just won't be able to hit manufacturing goals to launch or have BIOS problems, but at the end of the day it's probably not as straight forward.
Yeh, I wonder, too. AMD is still absolutely in the fight for increased mind share. It'll be such a huge boon if they can have another year or two were they destroy Intel, especially when they even take the gaming crown.
However, I could see 1-3 months of delay just meaning they don't have to rush anything too hard and can work on BIOS stability, having plenty stock on launch and so forth.

no, only when AMD says something is it official. digitimes has sources but also gotten things wrong
