- Dalewyn 4y agoClass-for-class, I'm of the understanding Intel still wins the single thread competition.
- nl 4y agoThis didn't really matter though. The CPU was competitive with Intel in real world scenarios and was very well received when it launched in 2017; eg: https://www.pcworld.com/article/412262/ryzen-review-amd-is-back.html https://www.pcworld.com/article/412262/ryzen-review-amd-is-b... The point is that the architecture and CPU design was the thing, not the later switch to TSMC which didn't happen until Zen 2 in 2019.
- beebeepka 4y agoHa, you don't have to convince me anything. I have several desktops and laptops equipped with various zen 1-3 CPUs. I am no intel fanboi. Architecture is important but needs manufacturing
