[@andrewsolis2988]

Wether you are red or blue...you have to give AMD credit to sticking it to Intel and providing such stiff competition that prices are dropping across the board of both companies!

[@Benjamin-rq1fi]

Andrew Solis it's great isn't it? And it seems like Intel is already having to respond with the hyper threaded 2 core cpus. Competition is the mother of innovation and a more consumer oriented market. On a side not, I have an Intel CPU and AMD graphics card, so my computer is... purple?

[@ntsangaioune5549]

yes

[@paolovinicios9824]

Imagine if Intel have a great comeback next year, then the next AMD have its, and then again and again, can you imagine how much of a improvement we would be able to see in such a small time?

[@paolovinicios9824]

Tbh, I'd like to see AMD on the top for at least 2 more years, there are a lot of people who buy Intel just because they don't keep up with technology and don't know AMD or just know them because of FX

[@ntsangaioune5549]

Paolo Vinícios but the prices are now the most important raison to but intel or amd

[@Ares-5933]

Can't wait for ryzen 1

[@normalperson5029]

[@MinehowTech]

Ares5933 I could only assume it to fight the Pentium for 50 a 2 core 4 thread overclocking has 2mb cache less than ryzen 3.

Can't wait for ryzen -7

[@mohammadriduan2414]

If r1 is exits maybe its will come with 2 core 4 thread. And its have hypertreading. Perhaps

[@TheSlowestStart]

Guys!! Remember... i3 with 2 cores: slightly higher Fps BUT shit performance in general and causes more lag spikes/frame skipping in most games. Ryzen 3: Slightly less Fps BUT better performance in general and no lag spikes or frame slipping so gameplay is clean and enjoyable... and OVERCLOCKING!

[@SovietGrazz]

Read the percentile FPS bars you dolt. You can clearly see that the Intel chips had less issues with stuttering and frame skipping ...

[@rushdrift]

Grammar Police he ain't wrong, i3 have common lag spike and do stutter sometime not to mention playing a min requirement quad core game need an injector just to play it, dual core need to be kill from the market heck even our smartphone has more core than that

[@TheSlowestStart]

SovietGrazz duel cores get higher frames but the having only 2 causes stuttering in AAA games.. it's science (more power per core but cpu must work harder as work load isn't spread out enough to avoid stuttering.) Remember benchmarks are just examples and in no way show real word performance

[@MrtinVarela]

+RushDark Although I strongly agree, take in account smartphones were from a start more focused on non-system background services and multitasking than PC. My two cents.

[@epicalisepic]

AMD isn't optimized with Nvidia GPUs. Just wait.

It's a very dangerous time to be an Intel Fanboy.....

[@BrawndoQC]

How?

[@retrorevival1]

why? you'd have to be truly insecure to be bothered by new releases like this. If people are fickle enough to go out and dump $1000+ on a new board, ram and CPU just to be in with fashionable with the shiny new thing then that's really sad.

[@intelinside5574]

Brawndo Well, there is a ton of hate directed at Intel Fanboy at the moment with Ryzen and all that stuff, and anyone he who says anything about Intel that isn't "sh!t company" seems to get beaten up online to extreme ends.

[@bass-dc9175]

Nah Intel is still fine. They dominate the very top and very bottom in Gaming. The Pentium g4560 dominates the Sub 90€ Market And the I7 8700k Dominates the Top in gaming. Ryzen 3 Clears the floor with Intel in the 110-120€ Market (Including Mobo prices and Upgrading headroom considering AM4 will be supported till 2020) Ryzen 5 Provides the Best bang for your Buck And Ryzen 7 is a good idea for content creators and provides solid gaming performance. Ryzen is a good idea for Streaming on a single PC and solid gaming. But the I7 7700K still wipes the floor with Ryzen in terms of 4 Core gaming (alltho it does fall behind the R5 1600X in 6 Core gaming like 64 Player BF1) But top gaming? The R7 1800X doesn't hold up with the I7 8700k. That is what AMD does well. The Midrange CPU marked is perfect for ryzen. Not to mention the Upgrade path in terms of CPU. Can't wait to see Ryzen+ with the Pinacle Ridge lineup. And I can't wait to see how Intel reacts. Me personally: I got my Bang/Buck Ryzen 5 1600, because I want to upgrade further down the line. (In 2021 zen 3.0 is planned, which no longer runs on the AM4 socket. Then I can upgrade to a cheaper Zen2.0 Released in 2019/2020. At least that is the plan). But I can not denie that For pure performance (ignoring price) Intel is ahead. Which should honestly not surprise anyone, given the 5 months time difference between Ryzen 5 and the I7 8700K.

[@aidenhong2338]

wasn't amd sold to intel?

[@Shmazeturuz]

A company with ~9000 employees against one with ~107000.. I freaking love AMD for what they did with these CPUs xD

[@basshead.]

Hey, here's some info for you. AMD sold off all of their chip fabrication/manufacturing plants a while back. They don't even produce their own CPUs/GPUs.

[@gfjfjufidi2880]

basshead and why does this matter to me?

[@basshead.]

+Gfjfj Ufidi I wasn't talking to you.

[@basshead.]

+Adriel R Now he knows why AMD doesn't need so many employees.

[@petrosrz8990]

@@basshead. technically they didnt sell them all. they still manufacture most of the CPUs.

[@AugmentedGravity]

Now AMD need to come out with Ryzen 1 to compete with pentium

[@shido8597]

AirsoftGamer They already announced the 7th gen apu

[@urchin4334]

AirsoftGamer they can't compete the pentium and get better performance unless its similar performance don't think they are willing to sell a cpu for like 50-70 dollars

[@silvy7394]

Yeah but a $50-70 CPU would appeal to people just making general office PCs or lower end gaming rigs.

[@sergiosaenz3150]

They should make it a triple core

[@silvy7394]

Yea but IDK how games would fair with a triple core.

[@Bally1127]

The intel i3 is actually better because the eyes cant see more than 2 cores. im in computer science so i know more than you. Im not joking im serious, my dad works at nitondo he knows this.

[@Philip-uc7cp]

Ali Rind 😂😂

[@wingman548]

Yes, and the human eye cannot see past 8GB of RAM either.

[@Some-guy-on-the-internet]

The human eye cannot see past a Hyper 212 Evo, so liquid cooling is unnecessary.

[@naalcrit5970]

@Some guy on the internet don't be bashing the Hyper 212 Evo, I have it and it's a damn good fan, and quiet too lol.

[@Some-guy-on-the-internet]

Naalcrit I wasn't even bashing on it, I even gave one to my friend once...

[@mikesunboxing]

I am using a i7 2600k with slight overclock. Should I got to ryzen 3 or pay more for ryzen 5?

[@link1565V2]

I have considered myself an Intel fanboy since the Core 2 Duo days. I've never once considered AMD for my personal builds, but I think you'd be absolutely stupid to not go with Ryzen on a build in 2017. Finally, true competition from AMD is going to heavily hinder Intel's ability to rip off consumers the way they have been for years. It's pretty clear that Intel have no solid ideas on how to compete with Ryzen, and they're taking a long time to regain their footing. Hopefully AMD's fully unlocked architecture will force Intel to scrap the "k" series chips and allow over-clocking on all of their chips. Hopefully Ryzen in general forces Intel to completely rethink their product line. They've held a monopoly on the industry for too long, and it has done nothing but hinder progress on the consumer desktop platform.

[@sanderlind1257]

Link1565 meanwhile i still have a n intel duo 2

[@legendairycow8001]

their 8th generation chips isn't a solid enough attack?

[@LTDanno360mods]

www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.3771279 this bundle doesnt look that bad after all thanks linus

[@TheNondiscriminatory]

legenDAIRYcow not really. Many of the current chips (especially the 5 and 7s- a ryzen 7 and i7 8700k are still comparable) are still more than comparable and still better in multitasking so even though they "hit back," they aren't dominating, so they're still suffering from ryzen- especially in the pro-sumer market, where the threadripper is the go-to monstrously powerful chip with unbeatable price to performance- you have to spend 1600$ to beat the 890$ threadripper 1950x- the 1000$ i9-7900 get demolished by it! I guess what I'm saying is Intel hasn't impressed me with this new batch of chips and you'd have to be silly not to buy an amd processor, losing on maybe 4% of fps, yet gaining all those extra cores and threads, making almsot all other multitasking better on the amd. Oh! And don't forget upgrade path. Intel loves fucking people over on that. Am4 should be good until 2020.

[@legendairycow8001]

What about the 18 core i9 extreme? has that not impressed you especially when it can be over clocked to 4.0. Besides, the intel 8th gen chip units have better per core performance.

[@OmarKillzHackz]

Yes sure....R3 2300X is more like a R3 1300X, R3 1200 with OC or APU 2200G/3200G...look this with a GTX 1080. images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph13945/106405.png images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph13945/106413.png images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph13945/106421.png images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph13945/106349.png * Obviously a GTX 1080 is not a GPU for an Ryzen 3 1200 / 1300X / 2300X / 2200G / 3200G, but surely that is not the GPU in which you are thinking or I am wrong ?.

[@mczmgamingthings9249]

If you're building a gaming rig at any serious level, you go I7. I5 only if you honestly just can't afford an I7. BUT, at least you can always upgrade later. Socket 2066 is new and you know very well some seriously bad ass chips are coming in the near future. AMD won't keep up, they never do.

The only way Intel to compete from Ryzen 3 in price to performance is G4560/G4600. Sadly Intel tried to kill it because they were hesitant to kill i3

[@yallahhabibi7467]

Yeah. The G4560 was fucking legendary. It was one of intels only true "Bang for your buck CPU". Now they are killing it for some reason. Its pathetic that they killed it. Atleast theres the G4400 I guess.

Me buying the ryzen 3 3200g in 2020. I’m building my first ever PC. I’m going for a budget build using a: -Ryzen 3 3200g -MSI B450m Pro-M2 Max motherboard -Kingston 480GB SSD -Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) -Thermaltake Smart 600w power supply -Pure wings 2 120mm fans -Radeon Rx 570 8GB graphics card -and a very cheap Rosewill Micro ATX mini tower case Very new to this so if you have any feedback let me know what you think or if you have any advice :)

One thing I find impressive with the Ryzen series is they all overclock to around 4GHz whether they're a 4 core or an 8 core 16 thread. If you look at Intel the i5 and i7 can hit 5 to 5.2GHz while their 6 core, 8 core and 10 core variants can only do 4.5 to 4.6GHz. I'm guessing this is because of AMD's Infinity Fabric so the Thread Ripper Cpu's should be able to hit 4GHz or even higher no problem so AMD won't see clock decreases with more cores.

[@Kalyptic]

I'm guessing because its also like a 1st generation cpu line, they'll probably do optimizations for their 2nd gen cpu's. Also i must say it wasn't too long ago AMD had higher clocks and Intel had the lower clock speeds with better performance, its like the tables reversed now.

[@sonysergey]

its because of Infinity fabric approach. Whole Ryzen lineup uses the same dies

[@codedragon6237]

With some water cooling threadripper does hit 4GHz, even 4.1 or 4.2

[@Cutiepuffle]

G4560 got a price spike to $120, making the 1200 best value CPU!

[@Gunandrun21]

well, here you can still buy it for 62€, so i guess no?

[@deluxem]

it's because of mining, just like GPUs, its a cheap and good CPU so people get it to mine on a separate machine. If mining hasn't gotten popular in your area then prices wouldn't spike so much.

[@StephenPhillips]

Are the temperatures for the Ryzen 1200 with the heatsink good?

[@OlafurArons]

I'm literally so happy. I finally have motivation, and the opportunity to do a new amd build. My personal experience with Intel has been so-so, same with amd. My first computer had a toaster cpu (intel p4 3,0ghz, socket 478, 2 core hyper threading) (It always overheated, even with an aftermarket cooler). 2nd one had an amd athlon 64 3500+ (2,2ghz single core cpu) (It was so powerless i just can't.) 3rd one had an amd athlon x2 5200 cpu (2 core) (first mobo thought the cpu was ~30ghz. 2nd one made things more bare-able) 4th (and current one) has an intel core i5 4570 (3,4ghz 4 core w/ 6mb cache)

[@HB-lx2ey]

it's December 2019. I'm finally upgrading my phenom 965 Black edition to a ryzen 3 1200 and it feels like the best thing ever, despite the fact that this cpu is still outdated :(

Bastien KAPPLER i5 will win, but ryzen 3 was made to compete with i3s.

[@wingman548]

The i5 will beat out Ryzen 3. Despite having the same number of cores, the IPC on that Kaby Lake CPU beats out Ryzen by quite a bit, but there's a reason for that huge price gap.

[@armandb.8737]

let's be real, intel has only 7700k rest is ryzen

[@SteelmanArgument]

Armand B. Kinda true. But the 7350K has come down to the price of a 1300X in Sweden so AMD will be having a rough time here.

[@fgc_ngoni615d9]

1300x has 4 true cores hence the 7350k wouldnt be a smart move

[@SteelmanArgument]

ngonidzashe dzindimu Thoretically yes, but in basically every game a 5GHz 7350K will beat a Ryzen 3 at 4GHz despite it lacking two threads. Cores isn't everything.

[@linhuichi937]

Saitham 7350k has a more expensive motherboard and you need a cooler. 1300x comes with a decent stock cooler and cheaper motherboard

[@morgandorval6412]

Clocks aren't everything. Neither is efficiency. It comes down to a combination of the three.

Curious lack of Pentiums for comparison is curious.

[@pauloleao3169]

They are comparing on the same price point.

because the Pentiums are worse than the i3s, but not worlds apart. Maybe other channels/articles provide comparisons with that. Also, different pricerange

g4560 is worse than i3 7100..also they are hard to get now with intel throttling their manufacture

[@Eskmm1]

Turn it into an APU and slaughter all the i3s and Pentiums in non-gaming retail AMD, make dat money.

[@MsHojat]

APUs aren't simple things. It's not like you can fit a video card into any CPU. Raven Ridge is AMD's next APU generation; it will use Vega graphics with Zen processor. Current information is that it will be nothing special at all. APUs are very limited in their gaming performance. For the forseeable future anyone that does any significant amount of gaming would want to use a dedicated GPU. They're also more modular, so easy to replace, such as buying used cheapo GPUs every couple of years which would generally far outperform APUs capabilities. Intel has integrated graphics processors that seem to be doing even better than AMD's APUs (although as far as I know it's at a higher cost as well).

[@mvez10]
