So Intel might wanna take some notice of AMD

16-core, 32-thread $750 Ryzen 9 3950X processor, which — with its 3.5GHz base clock, 4.7GHz boost clock, a tremendous 72MB of cache and an unheard-of 105W TDP


Yea Intel take notice that is a real competitor that just passed you.

AMD did not just passed them, they leapfrogged them and everything i gather is that Intel cant hit back until at least middle of 2020, but also by then AMD will be further down the road. AMD's top processor and supposedly better then intel's 1100 dollar processor for 499!

This is just great for the consumer! about time AMD started punching back!

Yup, I invested in Ryzen on my last build and haven't been upset with it. Love the competition, especially since it's not all just hot air anymore.

AMD covered a lot of ground in the ryzen era, after being a joke for the better part of a decade.

Competition is great. I wouldn't be crowning them just yet though.

its not about crowning anyone, its about competition, we can not get something on par or better then the other guys for 600 cheaper. Thats a ****ing win for the consumer. Thats a huge win! As long as they can compare at a cheaper price, then lets do it!

When I was doing research for a 13” power laptop, the Ryzen intrigued me.

When I read about the heating and driver issues I stayed away and stuck with Intel.

AMD was always the overheating nightmare. Maybe I'll try them out again.

The Newer Ryzen Processors run cooler than their intel counterparts.

yeah, the new Ryzen's are low power consumption and even better with the 3rd gen chip.

Just built a new comp 2 months ago and I went Ryzen. There are still some areas in real world performance where Intel wins but the price/value, etc. put me in a good spot.

I don't trust amd because i can't him their slogan. Hard pass

I've always bought AMD for the competition. The Ryzen 5 1400 in the PC I purchased a couple months ago has met and exceeded at points my expectations. Doing a new build PC when the weather starts to turn in December and will be keeping an eye on this processor.

Good for AMD. :rockon:

Hopefully this holds up. I'm thinking about doing another build around Christmas time, by then there will be more overall performance data.

Setsuna's right though. And that's a hard reputation to shake.

Yeah, I got a Ryzen 7 2700x and a B450 Motherboard. I tend to build processor heavy, got a pretty solid video card, etc. and then do a mid-life upgrade on video card, memory, and SSD(in this case a M.2 drive) so I don't really need to mess with processor, etc. again until my next full rebuild. That tends to keep things running well. So I'm definitely locked in with AMD for a few years. In all my research, they tended to fair best in price/performance.

Ryzen is great, but its only recently that they have caught up.

Price point right now is impossible to beat. Waiting for Intel's counter attack. Because the i9's are meh

Intel is lazy as hell and will only bother to do a real counter when forced to. Until then, **** off and buy anyhow.

Thanks! :thumb:

I remember when AMD was better back in the early 90's, back when most things were soldered on and you didn't really have all the freedom to build like you do now. Still they've been mostly hot air on processors and video cards as far as competing until Ryzen came along.

Looks like you've been in the game a hell of a lot longer than I have. You feel like Ryzen is now as reliable as Intel? That's my thing. Last thing I want to do is spend time and money building a rig then have to open the thing up to remove an overheated card.

AMD was never better at any point. And tech has become more consolidated, not less. In the 90s-00s, a motherboard was just a motherboard. There was a slot for everything. The only things soldered on were the CPU socket, BUS, and IDE controllers. Now you can't buy one without onboard video/ethernet/sound/etc. I don't understand what you mean.

I plan on building a new computer later this year and I'm fully prepared to make it my first AMD computer. Ryzen is the first argument AMD has made to even make it a debate when it comes to AMD vs Intel since I've been building my own and if what has been revealed about the 3000 series is confirmed then I'll make that leap, but I would be lying if I didn't have my doubts because of AMDs history when it comes to this shit. Other than the obvious performance increases they've made I really like their business model in that they promised to support the AM4 socket for 4 years, which is a pretty big difference from how Intel runs their shit... they'll add a single ****ing pin to a CPU to get you to buy a new motherboard too. It just sucks that the 4 year window is about to end in 2020.

If you do it, would be cool if you wanted to post up your components list once finalized. I’d be interested in hearing your evaluation post-build as well. I’ve only done Intel,never done AMD, but am bi-curious.

I haven't had any problems with my Ryzen system, it's my #1 system right now. I have a few intel systems still around here but ya It's certainly fine as far as reliability. It even runs cooler than the Intel processors, as far as Graphics I would still go with Nvidia though.

Allegedly AMD is beating Intel at the top end right now.

And and Intel battled back and forth in 99. They also had games utilize one over the other for best results.
