Hopefully people expected the inevitable kaby lake obsolete (RIP people who bought them by recommendations here), but the fact that a cheap $120 chip is already beating Intel’s next gen chip (when both aren’t even out yet) is interesting

impressive, but not sure i get whats so amazing about besting a 3 year old cpu. nobody is buying 1800x’s now either. it’s not like in q1 of 2017 anyone was like, you know what let me just wait 3 years and i’ll save $180 dollars on my cpu.

If you ever wonder why people call you a shill, it’s for this exact reason.
It’s awesome that AMD is doing well, but until you stop your completely one sided lobbying and start reporting both sides without bias, you’re going to continue to be the Fox News of the forums and nobody is ever going to take you seriously.

Hopefully AMD has finally fixed their major firmware issues, the chips are impressive but without boards that can run them consistently…

At least you admit you’ll look the other way with team blue, thanks for that
I like the fact he brings up political favors in a thread that has no reason to even be in here, means he had nothing else to say 
But you however get a like for that reply

I come here every few months just to see what’s going on and i can always be sure to see You making threads either bashing Intel or promoting AMD, it’s almost like he spends his days looking for articles or YouTube videos where AMD has a small win in some obscure way just so he can come here and shout it from the rooftops lol
I really hope he’s getting paid for it, i can’t imagine how crappy it would feel to be completely and utterly obsessed with a person or company that doesn’t know i exist.

I just built an AMD rig for my wife. 3700x based system and while it’s good, it doesn’t knock my socks off either. The boot up time is slower than my intel based 8600k system. Gaming performance is about identical (even with a better video card in her’s.)
It seems to be a very competitive platform and I’m sure if I sat around running benchmarks that stressed multi core performance it would seem like a much better CPU than it is. In reality it’s okay. But gamers aren’t doing theme favors by blindly following the Ryzen herd.

Exactly, but the same goes for any other product, be it Intel, Nvidia or AMD.
Any person that’s making a hardware purchase needs to look at the value, performance per dollar, performance in their main workload areas or even maximum performance when not being worried about money. It’s a complex question and one that goes differently for us all because the variables/goals change from person to person.
I’ll always jump back and forth from one team to another depending on my needs/workload and budget parameters. You just seems to be an obsessed sycophant.

It’s a hot topic now because AMD hasn’t really had a competitive offering since socket A until ryzen and the initial ryzen releases had… issues…
Spent 3 hours troubleshooting my Ryzen 5 1600 system that suddenly didn’t want to boot with 3200mhz RAM anymore after a year.
That was fun.
Hell my 15w CPU in my laptop can match a 7700k in R20 SC and destroy it in R20 MC.

At stock, and for a limited period of time.
But really, I would hope it does. The 7700k is essentially an entry level Ryzen 3 3300x now.
I didn’t know anybody cared about subpar CPUs.
You:
Intel four core? LOL MOAR COREZ 
AMD four core? WOW

I just ordered a 3300x I already own an original r5 1600. I am thinking it will be a slight upgrade. I figured it was only 120 bucks. If it isn’t I will just go ahead and get a 3600.
Has anybody tried the 3300X for wow?
I usually keep my graphics at 5. Wondering what kind of frame rates people are getting with it.
if its as its reviewed to be, that is, an i7-7700k, then yeah it’s a pretty big upgrade over the 1600.

For WoW, if you were going from say, Ryzen 1x00 to 2x00 or Intel 9x00 to 10x00, I’d say it was a waste of money. But I agree with Sal that this is a pretty big upgrade. WoW should perform for you as a similarly spec’d (cooling, GPU, RAM) Ryzen 3x00 machine does (especially something like a 3600x).
I don’t think WoW even saturates 4 cores/8 threads, yet, and that’s with the recent multithread optimizations.
