Agreed, intel is the better for game performance. But AMD (Ryzen) does have multitasking and gaming down pat, and it gets better with every updateWhyNotBoth.gif
Showing hardcore brand loyalty is just silly, results in nothing but pointless bickering that means nothing.
For me, just depends on what I'm doing, really. Multithreaded tasks I'd choose AMD, especially since Ryzen, as they have more cores and threads and generally perform well across each thread, especially so if you're on a tight budget. Single threaded tasks, I'd go for Intel for sure, especially if I had a ton of cash to burn.
I tend to stick to Intel for my gaming PC, and AMD for my laptops. While games are becoming more dependent on multiple threads, it's still not to a point where having any more than 4 threads is any benefit whatsoever, so having those extra threads I might get with Ryzen is just useless for me (since really all I do is game on this desktop). My laptop, on the other hand, has a Ryzen 2500u, and is great for general work use and multitasking and such which is pretty much exactly what it's used for. Plus, since it's an APU, it's got halfway decent integrated graphics so I can occasionally game on it, too.
got Ryzen, I got it for the price and multitasking. I considered Intel because I was building a gaming rig, but I went with AMD cuz a sell...I'm Intel at the moment, but if I was buying now, I'd go AMD. Intel has the ipc advantage, but the gap is no where near what is was with the fx line. If you have to have the highest single threaded ipc, then intel still has the crown, but for most people ryzen is fine.
After the z390 move, I'm not sure I'd want to give Intel money, locking out cpus for no reason is scummy.
I mainly use FX6350 and still does everything great, don't know why people say bad things about the FX series when the 9590 (my backup PC) actually was literally only 4% slower in games compared to the x3.6 times more expensive Intel counterpartI still have my fx8300 and ... It still work nice
The only real problem with the FX series was the high TDP (wattage) on SOME of the processors (basically anything that wasn't the last of it's thousand had too inefficient TDP, so 6350, 8350 and 9590 were the only efficient ones), which means higher temperatures and combined with the stock coolers being kinda loud because they had to run at extra high speeds to compensate would get annoying (too loud or too hot, no balance between the two)...@ThoD : They are not really great cpu the power consuption is really bad if I remember right but they can do the job really well
They can run actual game if you have a decent GPU
AMD + ATI <3 ...
Yeah I'm a fanboy x)
