Intel have the budget diy market in the bag. AMD got no answers with its one foundry supply.
They are good value now but why state they have it in the bag, AMD still have cheap CPUs as well, with an upgrade path

But no, no answer to Intel being "budget king"
Explain. I thought RAM speeds were locked now unless you used a Z series board? What's this "permanent turbo"? Clearly I've missed something recently.The virtually unrestricted RAM speeds and opting to use a permanent turbo...
The 10400f at ~£120 is currently value king, when put on a B560/H570 board however.
@Journey indeed, I never disputed Intel being "budget king" right now, but rather that AMD doesn't have anything to counter with. Ryzen 3000 is still a thing, and the 3600 doesn't stop being awesome just because it's a generation old.

This was prior to the B560/H570 being available, the Z series offer nothing now unless you are buying higher end K series CPU's or you need some of the features.When I looked for my son it was only a £20 more to get the z board and performance was much better and can be swapped out for a k at a later date.
Literally what has been said by myself and a few others for a good while, but in this review they don't show you the CPU allowing to stretch its legs using the extra sustained power draw which makes it even more interesting. The 10400f at ~£120 is c

It’s just an observation TBH and not something you see everyday, I was in two minds to try and pick up a 6900XT in place of my 3080@woppy101 not wanting to speak for him, he had the 10850K a long time before the GPU upgrade IIRC (2080 Ti, wasn't it?).
And arguably the 6800XT is a better card overall than the 3080 even if the latter actually existed.
Hi mate,@Space Monkey just noticed your system specs, you must be the only person I have seen that has gone AMD graphics card with a new intel system, is that through choice or necessity(ie no 3080s available or no 5000 series available) ?
Nice one mate, I wasn’t picking, just observing. I really do fancy giving a 6900XT a blast and have hovered over they buy button a few times when drops have appeared but then remembered it would require a new monitor as well(gsync).Hi mate,
I researched the Intel vs AMD thing (at time time I had a 3900X) and was thinking of going to the new 5xxx series chips but started noticing a pattern of chip failures and other issues so decided to get the Intel which I'm super happy with, performs like a beast and runs cool.
Initially I had an Nvidia card as @LePhuronn mentioned but again noticed the AMDs were outperforming the 3080s, RT at this time in development doesn't interest me so it was a no brainer (plus lots more RAM).
The AMD I've received is a monster and it runs beautifully with the Intel CPU, so all in all I've got a system I love and performs great
I'm all air cooled this time around, which I'm actually enjoying as every time I need to change something it's far less hassleNice one mate, I wasn’t picking, just observing.

Are you watercooled or air cooled?
Think I might give it a few months to let the product flow stabilise and give the 6000 series a tryI'm all air cooled this time around, which I'm actually enjoying as every time I need to change something it's far less hassle
My CPU idles at around 27/28c and the GPU idles around 36c so it's silent and cool.
The AMD Radeon control panel/software is light years above the Nvidia, nicer to use
Can't speak for everyone but I'm certainly very happy at this point with the AMD 6800XT/Intel setup.Think I might give it a few months to let the product flow stabilise and give the 6000 series a try
