I'm quite excited with what AMD has pushed on socket AM4 over the last three years.
Come September they're going to release the 3950x,and if folks can wait a bit, you get 16 cores/32 threads on one socket.
But even on a budget, the 3600G looks like a great buy with Navi 20+3600 on chip.
The deal is that they have reasonable spectre mitigations working since last few gens, and Intel has to fix this if they need to be competitive. Not to mention standardizing a chipset.
- BorRagnarok 7y agoI haven't seen that 3600G. I've seen announcements for a 3400G and a 3200G, and although I'd love a APU with 20 Navi cores in it, I don't think it'll happen this time around. Maybe in a year or so.
- tracker1 7y agoIIRC the 3000 G series is 12nm Zen+ with some extra tweaks, not Zen2... same for the 3000 mobile series.
- BorRagnarok 7y agoThat's true. Same amount of cores, same amount of Navi cores. Clock speeds are better and iirc cache is bigger. I'm curious as to what AMD will put in their APU's once they move them to 7nm.
- toast0 7y agoNote that AMDs mobile/APU are this year's series number and last year's CPU architecture. If you really like the IPC gains for Zen2, you may be disappointed with an APU that only has Zen+. Intel runs things the other way lately, mobile gets released first, then desktop, then server.
