You sound like someone who'll regret buying if the 3000 series is better on a benchmark. Not a gentooman who knows a 2400 or 2600x is already doing the job exactly well.
AMD: Buy now or wait for 3000?
Question is: what do you have now?
>Buy x470 with 200GE
>Use 200GE to perform required 3000 series BIOS update
>In the meantime use 200GE to play non cpu intensive games
Such a hard decision.
buy a 1600 from microcenter for $80 with $30 off any b450/x470 mobo. use it as a streaming pc after zen2 comes out.
>available for in-store pickup only
>nearest MC is over 4 hours away
buy a first gen ryzen now and a good second gen mobo
that way in 1-2 years you can buy a 3xxx
Wait until ryzen 4000 for 2.5d STAX
by the time 3000 comes up they will be talking about 4000 and you will be like. dont know if buy 3000 or 4000. and you will never buy anything. so just buy it already and later. if you can. buy the new one
The 3000 series is 1-2 months away. Why can't you wait?
