AMD Monday dropped its long-awaited 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X at Computex on Monday, saying that it will outpace Intel’s 12-core CPUs for almost a third to half the price—and that’s just an inkling of AMD’s 7nm onslaught against Intel and Nvidia.
 
Also announced: 
 

• “RDNA,” AMD’s new graphics architecture brand for its next-gen "Navi" core, which will be called the Radeon RX 5700 graphics card and go head-to-head with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2070.
• An 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 3700X with stupidly good power efficiency of 65 watts.
• An 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 3800X that all but erases any gaming deficits the CPUs have had versus the Intel competition.
• The world’s first PCIe 4.0-ready PC parts
• A dual-processor “Rome” Epyc server running laps on a dual-processor Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 server.

The most anticipated news, though, was AMD's Ryzen 9 3900X CPU. Su said the 12-core Ryzen 9 will have a boost clock of 4.6GHz with a base clock of 3.8GHz. The Ryzen 9 3900X will also pack in 70MB of cache and cost just $499. That's incredibly aggressive, especially when you consider that rival Intel wants $1,199 for its 12-core Core i9-9920X. Intel's core-count per dollar value looks even worse when you consider that AMD claims the Ryzen 9 3900X will outperform it by 14 percent in single-threaded tasks in Maxon’s new Cinebench R20 and 6 percent in multi-threaded tasks. It’s not just Cinebench R20 either. During the keynote, Su showed the Ryzen 9 3900X throwing down with $1,199 Core i9-9920X in a Blender demonstration too.
 
The Ryzen 7 3700X’s TDP is just as stunning though. With 8-cores and 16-threads, it’ll produce just 65W of heat and hit a boost clock of 4.4GHz with a base clock of 3.6GHz. A comparable 8-core, 8-thread Core i7-9700K will put out 95 watts (and often exceed that).
 
AMD said with the PCIe 4.0 support in the new Ryzen chips, combined with the PCIe 4.0 in X570 motherboards, plus the PCIe 4.0 in its new Radeon RX 5700, you basically have all the makings of the “world’s first PCIe 4.0-ready gaming PC.”
 
The Radeon RX 5000 family (with the 50-00 name deriving from the company’s milestone anniversary this year). The first GPU to hit the road will be the Radeon RX 5700, which will go toe-to-toe with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2070. As AMD’s first 7nm GPU, Su said the card will hit higher clock speeds and use less power than the current Radeon generation.
 
the Radeon RX 5700 cards should be available by July, and the company is holding an event at the annual E3 gaming show on June 10, where we’d expect to hear more details, including pricing, about Navi’s consumer form. 
 
AMD is looking very strong in my personal opinion. 
 
 

This sounds promising, if AMD fixes their implementation of AVX like I hear they are going to/did, and maybe give us dual AVX512
12 cores for 500$ I am in. If their video cards can crunch DP data like the RadeonVII for a lower  start point, I am in.
I have not bought an all AMD rig in quite a while. Looking forward to it.

I'm in on Ryzen and the 3900X. Already working on a new system. Not to sure on the RX5700 stuff though. Guess I'll see what independent reviewers say.

Also curious to see what the 3900X's will top out on as far as memory speeds. The thought of 5000Mhz ram is exciting if it becomes anywhere near affordable. Also the M.2 speeds of PCI-e 4.0... this should be fun.

Looks like the rumored 3850X name for the 16c/32t wasn't accurate if 3900X is the 12c chip.

It's been a great run with X58 & 32nm chips.  I'll definitely be jumping to AMD for Ryzen 2 3K series.  Whether for their Thread Ripper parts, if they come out, or for their mainstream.

I am on the Ryzen wagon too. i can not deny the appealing tech, features and price 

Asrock X570 Tiachi has thunderbolt 3 support also :-0

Very cool, the prices are awesome and the power draw is great.
AMD is doing pretty great work with their chiplets

Threadripper is coming (according to AMD) before the end of the year. That should give modders plenty of time to save some cash. 

Lets hope the price to performance keeps driving better Value to the customer on all brands

X570  + 3800 or 3900  here I come in July  .... and it's my Birthday month , so convincing the wife as a present to myself should be easy/ peasy ..

My R5 2400G compares with the i7-8400 which means I do not really need more CPU but my GTX 1060 is working hard to play games at 4K
 

 
Ryzen 9 3900X; 40 PCIe lanes is the sum of the CPU's 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes (16 for the GPU, 4 for storage, 4 for the chipset), plus the X570 chipset's 16 lanes.
 

 
 
 
 

Wow, it looks like Intel isn't gonna have any real response to AMD for at least a year, maybe two. If all they can come up with right now is i9-9900KS Chernobyl Edition, then yeah I dunno... That 3900X is looking beastly, 12 cores on 7nm and boosts to 4.6GHz for $500! It's too bad my X58 motherboard crapped out on me last year, I would have definitely waited for X570/3900X instead of the Z370/8700k I have now, especially with all the security vulnerabilities etc... Hmm, I reckon I just may have to pass my Intel hot potato to a buddy (at a friendly price, ofc) sometime in the near future

This is X570 board dependent, some of the cheaper boards just have PCI-E Gen 3 out of the chipset. Most though do have 40 Gen 4 lanes.
