AMD will package Ryzens sold on December into bigger Wraith Max boxes. The CPU is the same usual but you will have even better boxed cooler than before.
This is a Christmas time campaign only.
Wraith Max has been sold as a separate item before with the price tag of 22 USD.

How are those coolers anyway? I hear they're perfect unless you want to so XFR2 / BCLK etc
Better than intel but still shit. Even the Evo212 is beter.
Is ayyymd unironically a better purchase than intel at the moment?
Depends on how much you're willing to spend.
Intel's top end is still the best for gay men, but that could change with 3rd gen Ryzen.
Only with expensive CL14 3400 RAM
On the upside you don't require exotic high end tripple fan AIO cooling, a hyper 212 evo is more than enough for a 2600X/2700X at 4.2GHz on all cores.
All RAM is expensive though.
Was kinda looking to build a new desktop since my current one dates back to 2012. I paid around €40 for 8GB of RAM back then.
Imagine my shock when I saw the current RAM prices. Gonna wait until next year and see what NAND prices do.
You can get similar value with 2133MHz CL15 RAM right now but current zen really needs good RAM to push those FPS as much as possible. You can get a 200ge with a B450 and upgrade to zen 2 later on, it's assumed their core latency problem will get resolved by then and better RAM won't improve much but it's a gamble at this point. That's what I'm gonna do anyway. Even if good RAM is still needed I'll still get like ~10% better (not accounting for IPC uplift) single threaded performance or better with zen 2 anyway.
I'm using a 3200 cl15 kit that i oc'd to 3466 cl15 and that makes it the same or faster as a 4.7 G 8700k lmao
