I'm wary of non-Intel CPUs but I might try out Ryzen if I need a new CPU.
Going to get something of this caliber if the RTC 2080ti FTW3 I'm getting ends up being bottlenecked by my i5-6600 trying to get 144fps out of some games (mainly Apex which seems poorly optimized)
- baal80spam 7y agoHuh. At this point, after all the recent scandals - I'm wary of Intel CPUs.
- stingraycharles 7y agoHonest question: why are you wary of non-Intel CPUs?
- jimmaswell 7y agoThey've just been slower for a long time and the impression is hard to shake.
- jsf01 7y agoIntel has lately become increasingly deceptive about TDP, benchmarks, and has been cutting corners to improve IPC that resulted in the latest security vulnerabilities. Although AMD has arguably less successful branding, on an objective level why would you be wary of their CPUs any more than you would with Intel’s?
- goldcd 7y agoI learnt what floating point was, when I bought a Cyrix - and my last non-Intel CPU was the one before I got a Celeron 300A. There is nothing wrong with non-Intel CPU, but historically maybe some "considerations you might wish to make, when looking at the price" Now. No idea why you'd buy Intel.. None..
- jimmaswell 7y agoLast I checked they were still ahead in single-core, just more expensive. I'm willing to disable spectre/meltdown protection.
- goldcd 7y agoCheck again.. ..You were right last year. Right now it's "it depends" (I'd call it a draw).
