Thanks Sir!, also do you expect the new ryzens to sell out in minutes or an hour upon release on amazon, did they last year? because i got prime and i want to order it day one, just wondering if i got to be crazy fast ordering it
You're punishing yourself .... there's a reason they call it the "bleeding edge".
1. The BIOS issue you stated (when it applies)
2. The unstated BIOS issue .... immature BIOSs will be improved ... leaving you to to update and retweak your settings, 1, 2, 3 ... or more times before ,,, if you overclock, even more headaches.
3. Higher prices .... bragging rights for being the 1st on on your block or in your circle to have the new shiny thing means you will come up short compared to peeps who wait,
4. First stepping electronics are devoid of all the fixes that are addressed in later steppings. Those that wait, get to miss this.
5. Production line improvements usually result in better perfomance. The % of CPUs for example that meat certain performance benchmarks increases over time. CPU Overclocking for example .... let's say that 2% of CPUs hit X.Y Ghz .... bext stepping that % often goes up a bit ... 3rd stepping a bit more. With RAM we see more sticks being able to hit a specific speed at lower voltages .... My current MoBo in early steppings had an issue with external devices not walking up when PC came out of sleep mode. I waited 2.5 months until a new stepping that resolved the problem.
6. Remember the famous line in the move "Princess Bride" ... "I don't think that word means what you think it means". That applies to component selection. My son shares a house with 2 of his college buddies, was over there last night ..... play date for our dogs
.... and one of the guys was asking questions about his component selections and named his choices . So i asked ... "Well if the stuff isn't even out yet, how can you make up ya mind w/o knowing relative performance between the competing products ? And his answer was Company A is faster than Company B now so the new stuff has to be faster still. So i asked "Are you sure ? Go to TPU site and check relative performance for each spplication you use." he did ... and now he wiped his parts list and will wait till TPU published performance reviews.
