And for something like that there needs to be two processor companies out there or more for that matter. Well ARM is going to join the fray soon so we will have even more competition in the processor market - ARM is basically responsible for being the building blocks for the processors of mobile phones so it will be very interesting to see how this race will turn out.

skyfire Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I see tablet as the new power force as far as computing is concerned. I think lack of consumers is what leads to the companies not much investing into it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyxx Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) I've gone with AMD since my second PC. I've gone from AMD Sempron to AMD Phenom II and then AMD Ryzen 7. Edited September 21, 2019 by Alyxx killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I think Ryzens success would definitely make Intel lose a lot of customer and we can expect Intel to bring in some new changes in their own lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in two minds as I'm tempted to hold out for 3950X but I could just buy the 3900X on Black Friday/Cyber Monday but I just can't make up my mind...

skyfire Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 This black Friday and Christmas a lot of people are going to buy the AMD Ryzen. So the sales are going to be rocking this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 AMD has improved a lot in the recent years, especially after the release of Ryzen and newer Athlons, but currently, it's a matter of budget, budget i3's for intel are kinda so good in gaming for a very low price, but in AMD you get more cores for the same price, not powerful cores as in intel CPU's in the same range (talking about mid and low range) but enough cores that you can use in both gaming and your other workstation stuff such as editing or streaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Gaming on i3 wont be much powerful. In fact nobody recommends it. Considering you need more power in core compared to the i3. I think that is one reason Ryzen is being in demand lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the i3 10300 is performing the same as a i7 7700K, i3's improved over time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I honestly never used FX series CPUs. so no idea how they performed. as for i3 I think a lot of games just don't go well on that, though 10th gen i3 is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think too much overclocking and leading to processor issue was definitely the problem with AMD last 10 year back before ryzen series kind of made it easier for them to compete without overclocking.

Empire Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 For strictly gaming, Intel is better due to higher clock speeds per core. Having said that, Ryzen does offer a good value especially when you consider price to how many cores and threads it offers then Intel. However Ryzen does perform better in multithreaded processes in some cases, yet they have improved and becoming so much more. AMD has been and is taken over intel in many cases, that's why most people nowadays are going with AMD. Modern AMD Ryzen CPU's have similar single core performance to 4th-7th gen Intel Core CPU's at the same clock speeds but with more cores, overclocking support and AMD's version of hyperthreading for the same or better prices. 8th and 9th gen Intel CPU's have about 25-30% higher single core performance than Ryzen CPU's at the same clock speeds but at a big price premium, i3's and i5's don't have any hyperthreading and non-K processor can't be overclocked so you may suffer from bottlenecks in future titles that benefit from multi-threading and select current titles if you go with a cheaper Intel offering. End of that, I went with INtel as I'm still a Intel person 🙂 They are better overclocking and no errors with the memory module, not like AMD. AMD can OC but always have memory that doesn't like it. i7 10700K 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About Intel, it overclocks better, but not to forget that AMD was the first company to reach 1Ghz in CPU's, and the FX series were the cpu's that got world records in terms of core clocks, you can find more about that here : https://valid.x86.fr/records.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they have that too, then soon intel will be struggling to sell processors. Even apple ditched them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
