Packed with DDR4 3,200MHz system memory So it comes with memory?

Ok, Canada Computers. :rolleyes:

There should be a 100% money back and you get to keep the product if a seller uses absolute verbiage and can't deliver.

Well.. the 3600X costs 12% more but it certainly isn't 12% faster. So up to you really...

you have to factor in the better cooler if using stock.

It's so cheap.... just get the 3600X imo. the extra 30 bucks... you probably piss that away on more useless crap. At least with a CPU, it will give you 5 years minimum of service. Amortize that over 5 years, it's $6 dollars a year.

Unless you need this now I would wait. AMD has already confirmed series 4000 chips for July. These are just the start of the series 3000 chips sales and we're almost certain to see even better heading into the Fall. The closer we get to series 4000 and after their release the better sales we'll see.

Not a bad price, but not as cheap as it was boxing week. Makes you have to think between 3600 vs 3600X.

3600 vs 3600x is a matter of pride, not noticeable performance difference. If you're lazy and want to use the stock cooler, then get the 3600x because the stock cooler is better. You need to use the bios manual configuration to tweak the speeds yourself so they aren't too loud for you.

You're mixing up the mobile and desktop chips, they're different products on different schedules, the next desktop zen is anticipated early next year

Yeah exactly. The best price was $209.99 back on Black Friday for a 3600x. (I know, no time machine)

If you can hold out several more months, I think we will likely see some 3000 series chips move to the territory that the 2600 and 2600x are in right now as they're trying to clear them. So a savings of $50-60 bucks. Likely you'll get an x570 Mobo cheaper too if you can wait a couple more months.

Is it true the next desktop zen will have a new socket?

Lol no the price was 229 same as the 3600 which is identical to this one cept for one feature. And AM4 is supported til 2020 so next line of products will work with boards from now.

I checked my order history, you're right the 3600x was 229. I was thinking of the Aorus x570 elite that was 209.

FYI, I didn't claim the next generation wouldn't work, I asked if it would. Everything I've read says the move to 5nm will be a new socket.

The next generation is on 7nm+, not 5nm, so after the next one it is likely there will be a new socket.

Actually, you're wrong. I have read several articles saying the exact opposite as what you just claimed. Desktop series 4000 (ZEN 3) chips are due out this summer. A quick google search will get you a full page full of hits saying as much. Desktop series 4000 chips are confirmed for this July/2020.

So like I said, Now is not the time to buy unless you absolutely need it. The series 3000 chips are going to see better prices in the summer and especially heading into fall. They will be this winters big sale items.

The 3600 is $229 at Newegg fyi. $5 shipping though making it $234..

Any reason to believe this will drop anymore next month or two? I'm parting out over time to build in March/April going for sales/offers during the wait..

Btw this explains the 3600vs3600x debate. Sums it up nicely that they are the same just different coolers that are not worth the premium..

Sources?

All I heard is that laptop 4000 series will be releasing soon, but no word on the 4000 desktop series.

It's pure speculation. In general, the laptop counterparts usually release earlier than desktop chips. Like 10th gen Intel chips for example.
Ryzen 1000 (Zen) = March 2017
Ryzen 2000 (Zen +) = April 2018
Ryzen 3000 (Zen 2) = July 2019

It's expected to release anywhere from mid to end of 2020 based on past releases.
