I am using AMD Ryzen CPU because I don't need to use water-cooling, and I get a really decent performance out with 8 core/16 threads. Intel CPU runs way too hot, and I don't want to spend more money on AIO, when I don't need to. AMD CPU generally runs much cooler (except on the high-end and thread ripper stuff, but I don't have high-end).
- dbeley 3y agoYeah AMD has the edge on efficiency it's odd it's kind of an "underrated" feature nowadays. Using less power (thus less W to dissipate that will end up heating your room) for the same computing power? Who wouldn't want that?

- PartiallyTyped 3y agoSo far, my Linux 5800x was my second most stable machine after a Haswell Hackintosh (i5 4590), honestly, I am keen on returning to that, my intel machine has caused me immense trouble tbh.
- sneed_chucker 3y agoWhich distro?
- PartiallyTyped 3y agoPopOS was absolutely fantastic, and I can't recall any issues.
- Dalewyn 3y agoRunning an i7 12700K on a Noctua air cooler, knocks anything I throw at it out of the ballpark with 12 cores of 20 threads goodness. Unless you're running an overclocked i9 or something, claims of Intel's heat generation are greatly exaggerated in practice.
- fomine3 3y agoIntel also can be handled without AIO, but just run lower than insane turbo clock.
