Personally, I went 4950, 1700x, 5800x, 12700k. I considered giving intel another try after the 5800x, so I went with the 12700k. I needed a computer quickly, and my previous machine was unavailable. The next chance I am giving intel is relatively far into the future. Likely in 5-6 years at best given how many stability issues I have had. Do note that this is pure anecdata, n=1 and likely suffering from a degree of confirmation bias.

What OS are you running on the Intel? I had problems with Linux on it where it'd slow down and then it would freeze entirely. It runs Windows 11 now begrudgingly and have had zero issues.

  I am dual booting PopOS and Windows 11. PopOS has had a surprisingly high number of instability issues and random freezes. I considered the possibility that the build is the problem, but it’s the same nvidia LTS 22.02 build that I used with the 5800x. Windows runs fine. If I didn’t rely on cuda, I’d probably use github’s code spaces for programming and just stay in windows, or run a VM.

    Was the same for me then. It’s clearly not year of the Linux desktop yet then.

      Amd has been great on Linux, both gpu and cpu drivers, and the linux user base has been increasing at a rate sufficient to cut into windows’ segment.

      No, my disk was unencrypted, it was a routine installation with distro defaults. I tried Manjaro that was a horrific experience from the get-go. It's possible that a lot of this in Pop_OS is related to wayland and gnome. The previous machine run a 5800x with a 1080ti, this runs a 12700k with a 3090ti, same distro otherwise.

My 12700k has been rock solid stable. It’s fantastic chip.
