4000 is mobile I think.

Yeah you are right forgot about laptops.
Not likely other than some minor updates from manufacturers.

the 8 core is the price of the old 12 core ? surely that makes the old one better value ?

Will you be providing a bios update on motherboards? As I don't have a gene cpu
From what i have read most motherboards in retail from August onwards have been pre flashed with AGESA 08 which enables you to boot with the new processors and then apply flash of AGESA 011 thereafter with new processor. So hopefully minimizing the problems that happened before.
A lot of motherboards have flashback features that allow you to update the bios without a CPU.
@Gibbo
Will you be shipping these CPUs (for people who order them quickly) on the 5th? So that they're delivered on Friday 6th? Would be good to have them on Friday so that we can do the upgrade/build over the weekend!

It's going to be tragic when FX fluctuations mean all CPUs will cost +20% more on release day. Or for a similar reason

Currently got a 3950X but play at 3440x1440P so a CPU wouldn't really change anything, Gonna wait for reviews before I make my mind up.

i was planning on getting one but the fact the old 12 core is the same price is a bit offputting ha ha
No guarantee as warehouse will be hugely busy and it will be after 5pm so can’t promise that.
Other option is choosing Saturday delivery.

I don't know which one I want, I currently have a incredibly quiet system using a NH-U14S. I am swaying between the 5600X and the 5800X, I play at 1440p...
If your main use is gaming and you play at 1440p then go for Zen 2 and save a wad of cash as it wont make any difference for gaming at that res. put the cash saved into another another area of your PC that will make a difference to performance or QoL.

I don't mind paying the extra for Zen 3, it's a treat to myself as i've had a bad year (coronavirus not included in that), like finding out that by age 45 i'll be in a wheelchair cause of back problems. So I to splurge on myself.
I even bought this as prep
