    PCSPECIALIST Optimus Pro XI - Ryzen 4000 Cpu?

    Yeah was just an Intel marketing deal with nvidia, nothing to do with PCIe, and think your right the R4000 is only PCIe3, not sure about lane counts, but most of the maxQ parts are only 8 lane parts any how, AMD have openly said that there are 2070/2080 parts coming later in the year.

    First thing I do with all machines is blow it away anyhow, I've got a build script as it would take me forever to install all my day to day stuff. But yeah, rather have the one I want, and not something 'nearly' right... Aaah well... Hang in there i suppose...

    PCSPECIALIST Optimus Pro XI - Ryzen 4000 Cpu?

    The only thing AMD need to sort out is their inter chiplet lag, Ryzen3 is much better, but it's still not got Intel beat on 1% and .1%, but no one that's not playing competitive will ever notice those.

    Me too, as if it's not going to be here in the next week or two I might need to cancel and just purchase one that's 'almost' the spec I want.... I just can't be bothered researching the Omen/Alienware/Tuf/Whatever to get something close :(

    PCSPECIALIST Optimus Pro XI - Ryzen 4000 Cpu?

    Depends on game/clock/cooling/everything really. For the most part not a lot in it, productivity the Ryzen it streets ahead for a lot of things. However 2070 and above GPU's are coming to it, so kinda kills off some of that sort of work, it's a strange one.

    PCSPECIALIST Optimus Pro XI - Ryzen 4000 Cpu?

    AFAIK there's no one shipping a 4k Ryzen with anything higher than 2060, there's a marketing agreement between Intel and nvidia for the Super and GDDR6 2070/2080 parts only with Intel Gen10 for the time being. https://pokde.net/gadget/laptop/amd-ryzen-4000-laptops-not-rtx-2070-or-higher/...

    I work in DevOps, so always got a load of stuff running/on the go at any moment in time, and an i5 just doesn't cut the mustard, but hey, not long to wait I hope....

    PCSPECIALIST Help with configuration

    RAM does affect performance, however Intel isn't as sensitive as AMD is, but yeah I would stick to 2666 (or 2933 if supported/available)

    Might be the Ryzen the delay is on, not the chassis

    PCSPECIALIST What do you do when your hardware is obsolete (6-7 years?)

    For all the uses I've just mentioned, also kids in school etc need machines that work, always be able to sell it, even if not for much. I tend to keep at least my last one or two depending on hardware, as if something happens and you need to use a machine at least you have one. And remember...

    Ebay, retask it as a plex server or home automation machine/virtual server or similar?

    PCSPECIALIST Just Ordered....

    Or if its a desktop cpu with a socket, maybe go with the higher gpu (as that can't be replaced) with the aim of upgrading to a quicker/better cpu in 6 months or so. Worth making sure the psu and vrm's will handle the upgraded cpu, and might be worth asking if the bios is likely to support the xt...

    Make sure you let windows update do its thing all the way through, before installing anything, easier to troubleshoot issues then 👍
