Thread 105773033

What went so right with AM4 and ryzen?

my 5900x aint getting replaced any time soon

5600X and I don't think I'll upgrade for two years or so.

>>105773044
same with my 5950x
it's still strong on anything with parallelism and I have no use for faster single core yet

>>105773044
>>105773058
How big is the power gap between 5950X, 7950X and 9950X?

>>105773073
Pretty significant IIRC.

5700x3d for me
upgraded from a 1800x
such a huge upgrade
i hope they release in the future another am4 chip

>>105773033 (OP)
Bought into AM4 fairly late because I figured that a 5800X shouldn't become fully obsolete until AM6 releases (And I could reuse the RAM I already had)

>>105773297
I play on 4k so it should be fine for some time. I have not had any problems yet.

>>105773033 (OP)
Such a great platform... I can only hope zen6 salvages AM5 and make it half as good as AM4 is.

>>105773033 (OP)
1. AM6 is about to be released.
2. See sign 1
3. See sign 2
4. See sign 3

>>105773033 (OP)
I just upgraded to a 5800X3D a few years ago, I'm set on an evergreen CPU, the 2600K or 1080 Ti of this decade if you will.

And until microdicks takes their filthy hands off of CPUs and removes pluton I won't be interested in any upgrades.

>>105776337
>reposting the photoshop from the suicidal reddit tranny
Do you get paid to do this or are you just actually the troon who made it?

>>105773033 (OP)
I am still on my 5800X3D and my system runs perfectly. 64 GB of RAM, 4080S runs everything I throw at it at high settings, with high fps. Zero reason to upgrade as of now.

I was tempted for a moment to upgrade to a 9950X3D but the benchmarks show it’s not really worth it, and rumours are that sometime soon they might make a 16 core with 3D cache on all CCXs.
I bought into AM4 with the 5800X3D, and it was well worth it (extremely mature platform), so I might do this again at the end of AM5.

>>105773033 (OP)
Just bought myself a 5950X to upgrade from my 1800X. First Ryzen to last AM4 Ryzen, essentially 8 years of platform support, as the 5950X can still be bought new for a reasonable price.

Now I'm just waiting for a sub-120W AMD GPU. Hoping there will be a Radeon 9050 release.

>>105773044
fpbp and same. I could go AM5 if I wanted to but my 5900X still does everything I need it to and does it fast. burning through at least $1200 (CPU, mobo, RAM) just for what, 25% more performance at best, isn't worth it to me. upgrading my GPU was a higher priority imo so I upgraded my 3070Ti to a 4080 Super 8 months ago, and I increased my RAM from 64 to 128. that's gonna last me for a while

>>105776436
>Anything I don't like is troon
Also, troons are always pro corpo and pro consooooooming, they hate freedom and they loathe freedom lovers like myself, you corpo tranny.

>>105773044
fippy bippy
I built my AM4 rig early into the socket's lifecycle with the Ryzen 5 1600 and an X370 MSI board I got at a great price
upgraded to 5900x in 2023 and it just werks on the same board
I could use some more pcie lanes though

I'm waiting for AM6. Seems stupid to upgrade to AM5 now.

>>105776337
I don't have this problem.

>>105773033 (OP)
absolutely nothing, am4 was utter dogshit on too many points for far too long.
reminder that the day one usb issues still aren't fixed on many chipset, am4 ram support is abysmal and board QA does not exist.
this platform, just like every amd platform, is embarrassing.
i'm currently on a ryzen 9 5950x with a rx7900xt, I've had enough of this mid-tier company.
they have so much money and yet every fucking thing they do is mid, absolute pajeet behavior, I don't care about shintel aviv and ngreedia at this pooint, atleast their platforms have QA and work, performances don't matter if you can't exploit them reliably like you can't on am4 if you want to do anything but G@YMaIdsNG

>>105777957
why are my motherboard, RAM and USB ports working fine then, Intjeesh?

>>105778021
>motherboard
luck
>RAM
you're lying
>USB ports
depends on usb hud maker

>>105778051
lying about what?
what about my RAM is not meant to work?

>>105778172
memory controller is very instable especially with 4 sticks of ram even if you follow jedec specs.
you're most likely using only two e-die 32GB r1 cl18 3200MHz sticks, it should work fine. anything higher end is lottery

>>105776337
I didn't think people still kept that edit in 2025, holy shit. The FUD worked.

>>105777638
No, fag, an actual whining suicidal troon made that image and spread it on reddit
Good to see you're so instantly defensive though

>>105773033 (OP)
>time to upgrade
Nah. My 5600x will keep me for another 5 years buddy

>>105777957
Dont forget the lack of bios updates for some boards and chipsets, which prevents newer cpus from running

>>105778201
>memory controller is very instable especially with 4 sticks of ram even if you follow jedec specs
skill issue

>MFW I compared specs and what it would cost to replace my 3700x build
Yeah nah brah

>>105773044
I have a 5900x and sure enough I'm not keen on spending a lot just to go AM5 myself

>>105776241
I don't understand this brand of waitfaggotry.
Early adopters of things like these end up eating shit. Zen 4 at launch was a fucking mess, overall pricier, and not worth it.

>>105773058
>>105773044
Sorry but you fags need to upgrade and sell your old chips on eBay so I can upgrade my 3700x
Make sure to post them cheap and pm me

>>105773054
>>105773044
based and CPU pilled (fuck it feels old fashioned to say this phrase)

I have a 5700X and it runs beautifully on 65W. No need to spend money on tech. It can all go to premium pancakes in Japan.

>>105778995
5700X is an excellent cpu but I find the default limits a little lacking, I have mine set to about 5800X level

>>105773033 (OP)
>image
4 signs that it's finally time to call a journalist a nigger
>thread
non-nigger artificial segmentation in the AM4 platform from AMD

>>105778559
If you're not an early adopter then you don't really benefit from extended socket support.

>>105773033 (OP)
it was around for a thousand years so you could just pop a new CPU in and upgrade 5 generations.

>>105779428
Have there been really good AM5 motherboards at launch to justify this "I'll buy early so 5 years down the line I just upgrade the CPU" thing?

>>105776241
not only am I not updating to am5, I'm not updating to first gen am6 lmao. I'll just wait for 2nd gen release on am6, when they fix all the 1st gen shit

>>105776155
hey basically I'm just not gonna buy it (the scAM5)
I know....ugh I know.... I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!
it's just that I'm not gonna buy it is all

>>105773033 (OP)
lisa su unironically.

>>105773033 (OP)
Still on 3600 and have no reason to upgrade for a few more years.

>>105778559
I didn't say to update to AM6. I said to wait to update from AM4 until AM6 is about to release.

They say if you're building now to buy am5 instead of am4, but I don't wanna...

I can't imagine a reason to ever upgrade my 2700x/1070ti. Maybe if AAA games stop being gay and nigger, but I can't imagine that world making a comeback.

>>105773054
Same, my 5600 non-X is doing what I need. If I did upgrade, it would be an in socket upgrade to a 5800XT or something.

>>105782112
I upgraded from a 1060 6GB to a 3060 12GB because I needed RTX audio (I did the math and it turned out cheaper than acoustically treating my room) and honestly, yeah, it would've been a waste otherwise. Doubly so because I only really buy AAA when it goes for sale under 10 bucks years down the line

>>105773033 (OP)
>Finally fed up with 3800x shitting the bed once a day
>Upgrade to 5700X3D in the same socket all these years later in the same motherboard

The AM4 socket has actually instilled a level of respect for AMD that I didn't think I could have for a company, the longevity of it has been magical.

>>105776155
>y'all just poor
i definitely make and have more money than you

>>105773033 (OP)
I hope you blacklisted that website at the router level since they're posting ads pretending to be "news"

they are about as good as you can get for consumer x86. most new ryzen gens had significant performance boosts over the last. then amd just kept supporting the socket. intel crashing out at the same time made ryzen look that much better so it was a perfect storm.

>>105776241
>AM6 is about to be released
Do you mean Zen 6? AM6 probably won't be released until 2027.

>>105776155
>av1
I just use my 4090 for that

>>105777957
>I don't care about shintel aviv and ngreedia at this pooint, atleast their platforms have QA and work
The company which made CPUs that had actual manufacturing defects which killed them has QA and provides a product that works? Pretty surprising.

Not even gonna talk about nvidia, I've used them since Riva TNT and nothing about their products is high quality. The latest cards don't even have per wire current monitoring shunts, that's how much they are cutting corners.

>>105784343
Any 5000 series will easily last another couple of years.

>>105785545
The cpus didn't have manufacturing defects, they just put too much voltage in them and caused aggressive electromigration
(I'm aware of the early 2023 oxidation issue)

>>105777957
The most try-hard and attention-seeking post.

>>105780697
This! 5900x with RAM timings dialed in. 3800mhz cl14

>>105777957
Facts. Too bad you missed out on lga1200 and early lga1700. Those two platforms were very reliable (barring early ddr5 woes on 12th that got fixed) and had decent performance at the time

>>105777957
Usb dropout can't be fixed via firmware for every system since some are caused by wonky Io dies that slipped through QA. Some people only got theirs fixed after RMAing with AMD for a new CPU and didn't have to fafo with BIOSes.

>>105786255
Just not with PhysX and all the other features that are now removed because reasons

>>105786458
Your trfc is too high. That's what you would use with micron not samsung b-die

>>105786493
Yeah I brought it down to 350

>>105786496
342 iirc

> upgrade AM4
4?

>>105786500
good to hear that

>>105786487
>Just not with PhysX and all the other features that are now removed because reasons
I'm talking about CPUs, not GPUs.

>>105786566
Thanks

>>105773033 (OP)
3600 will more than likely be the last cpu I own. Its been a good ride.

>>105789259
>the 3600 will more than likely be the last CPU I own
Why?

>>105773033 (OP)
I'm still using a i5-4590 and it works just fine, why do I need to upgrade again?

>>105773033 (OP)
>am6 isn't coming out before chyna will go for taiwan, fucking up semiconductor manufacturing for a decade
maybe I should grab a 9900x now, they're pretty affordable atm and my 5800x feels rather dated

>>105790866
Because the difference will be very noticeable. I upgraded from a similar CPU to a Ryzen 3800x and was blown away, web pages load much faster.
If you're happy now then you'd be even happier after an upgrade.

>>105790500
I will become an hero.

I have a 5700x. If I upgrood anything it will be my 3060. Possibly once the 5000 supers come out but maybe not depends on performance of the 18gb 5070 super and 24gb 5070ti super

>>105776155
Thanks I'll just wait for am6

>>105780697
This, people who went from a 2600 to a 5700x3d got the most out of the platform out of their money.

>>105780812
I went from 3600 to 5700x and got another 10fps on every 4k game. And the 5700x3d was like $160 on ali express a year ago. It's too late now for good prices you'll have to just wait.

>>105782201
My rule used to be $15 for a game before they printed $14,000,000,000,000 globally over a literal cold and destroyed the value of currency. Now it's $30.

>>105791395
What happened?

>>105791488
They don't understand the things I say on twitter.

>>105791515
You got canceled?

>>105773073
i went from 5800x3d to 9800x3d and the difference was between 20% to holy shit wtf

how much did you pay for a 20% uplift

>>105791784
the cpu was basically free after selling the old

>>105791488
Life happened, not in a good way. The other anon >>105791515 is just trolling since you got the nazi digits.

>>105778201
Fucking lol
I have 2 different RAM kits with different timings and XMP profiles in my 5950X home server and it's been rock solid while running 24/7 for years. I just enabled the XMP profile from the slower kit and all 4 modules just werk flawlessly. I think you're a bit confused, it's DDR5 on AM5 which is troublesome with 4 modules, not DDR4 on AM4.

>>105792247
nop, it's really ddr4
you're talking one system, I've build hundreds for work with various specs, am4 is very unstable overall

>>105792332
nice way of telling everyone you suck at your job

>>105792332
Mhm, I'm sure
I actually have 3 AM4 system and they've all been flawless. Maybe if you built hundreds and they keep breaking the problem is the thing they have in common: the retard building them.

>>105773033 (OP)
Am5 is so cheap you can get 32gb 6000cl30 voor €90 a Ryzen 7 7700 voor €160 on aliexpress and a ASRock b850M-X wifi R2.0 for €125 which has PCIe 5.0x16 and wifi 6e then when zen6 or even zen7 launches get the highest end 16/24 core and you're good for 10+years

>>105773033 (OP)
I refuse to upgrade my 8700K until they finally give me a X950 tier CPU with all die 3D cache.
>but muh small market
Fuck off nigger there are 3D cache EPYC versions and you damn well know people that don't need it will buy it anyways.

>>105792363

I'm still running an 1800X. I don't give a single fuck.

>>105792405
Ma'am I'm still not done with the 10 years on my am4 machine I think I'll just wait for am6

>>105791845
and the mobo and ram?

>>105773033 (OP)
>5800x3d
No, i don't think i will. This thing will be good enough until the next gen socket.

>>105773033 (OP)
5700x3D, not upgrading a while. I might upgrade my mobile though, my b450 only has gen 3 PCI-E.

I've been using a Ryzen 2700 for three quarters of a decade. I look at benchmarks on new CPUs and I only see at most a ~100% improvement on single-threaded performance. The only things that ever stress out my CPU are single threaded video games like Kenshi, so why should I bother upgrading? Back in my day "twice as fast" was the kind of improvement you expected in a single generation, and it was ok to skip a generation before upgrading.

>>105791442
I went from an 8700K to a 5900x. How did I do?

>>105793264
Keep using what you have until it no longer suits your use case. I finally dropped Sandy Bridge early this year for a new AM5 build (actually all used parts on eBay lol) with a 7400F.

In 4 years I'll upgrade the CPU to a 9800x3d or some other zen6 X3D processor and use it for another 5 years. I fully expect to be on am5 for a decade.

>>105791601
>holy shit wtf
iv had that every time iv upgraded. went from a duron 800 to a p4 at 2ghz to an athlon 64 x2 6000 to a phenom x4 955 to a 4790k to this 7800x3d.

>>105793264
