It’s hard to justify buying these when you have M1 Max or Ultra in Mac Studio.
- kcb 5y agoThose devices are completely irrelevant to the vast majority considering one of these CPUs.
- lvl102 5y agoFor developers? I beg to differ.
- neogodless 5y agoDid you read the article? The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is being released for gaming performance. I checked and most of the games I've played over the past few years do not even launch on macOS. That's kind of a problem for using Apple Silicon in a gaming PC (among other problems).

- nyadesu 5y agoCrazy how people would prefer spending 300 - 450 USD to upgrade a rig they already own, instead of throwing it away and buying a apple device with a new M1 cpu that costs +700 USD
- neogodless 5y agoNot to mention the M1 Max equipped Studio starts at $1999. And can't run most of the games I've played over the past two years. That parent comment was particularly out of place since the 5800XD is a gaming-focused CPU.
- sliken 5y agoEr, studio is minimum $2k, well above the average price of a home built AMD system with the same specs (32GB ram and 512GB SSD). It also runs OSX instead of Windows and Linux, Not really the same market at all. The 5700X (2nd most expensive on a list of 7 CPUs) costs $300, 32GB ram of DDR4-3600 is $150, 512GB SSD is $60, motherboard, case, and power supply is likely another $300. So $810 for a system, not including a GPU, but $1200 is more than enough for something decent.
