Ever since the poor initial rollout of the i9 I've never even considered getting one. The performance/price always seemed to be better with i7. Even the i7 is a second choice for me if an AMD cpu isn't offered.
- Apreche 2y agoExactly. I find it hilarious the problem is with only i9. The i9s cost hundreds more than the i7s and don’t seem to be significantly better for any real world usage. There are just those people out there who have an entire hobby of getting the biggest benchmark number possible. Most of them don’t even use their computers to actually do anything. Intel makes the i9 only to extract more cash from them. IMO both Intel and the people foolish enough to buy an i9 deserve this problem, and each other.
- chrisandchris 2y agoI was close to buying an i7 or i9 for a build server. Then stumbled over those reports and now I'm considering moving to AMD, like a Ryzen 79xx.
