AMD has been doing really well on their CPU side the last few years, but with Intel's recent issues at the some time as Zen 5, I have to imagine this is going to be a good time for them going forward.
I remember when AMD was the budget choice that threw raw speed and cores at the problem with CPUs like the FX 83XX chips and Intel was the real player (memories of building my first computer in high school). I love the switch up. I hope Intel can get their comeback as well (without just throwing 240W at the processor). I love some competition in the x86 market.
- englishspot 2y agoAMD being good was really jarring when I got back into building PCs a few years ago. I was so used to the Phenom and Bulldozer era, when the consensus was AMD was pretty much a joke. How times have changed..
- linuxftw 2y agoFor non gaming builds, the Phenom processors were a great value. I had a Phenom 2 X6 for running virtualization labs, no issues whatsoever. Bulldozer was a flop, no real performance gains over the Phenom 2's.
