I'm not sure how this relates to the parent comment. They stated that no matter what your budget is, Intel is always the worse option currently. Their chips cost more and do less when they used to cost more and do more.
- sixothree 7y agoI got the fastest CPU my motherboard could handle. But looking at the performance charts, there were AMD CPUs with 25% and 50% more performance costing hundreds of dollars less than what I spent. I could have spent that money on a motherboard and some extra RAM, but didn't feel like doing the work. Meaning this was an upgrade from an under powered CPU to a newer chip that was not available when I did the build originally.
- Polylactic_acid 7y agoThe vast majority of users would find a 50% performance improvement and a huge price reduction to be worth the extra effort of replacing the mobo, especially since they already have to replace the cpu and likely put the mobo in to start with.
