Are you an Intel man or an AMD man? (Non-tech gods stay out)

[marioh]

i alternate in my builds between intel and amd.
last build was an amd machine.
next one will likely be an intel.

 

[Drain Bamage]

I just built a new box and my friend was trying to push the new AMD Ryzen on me HARD, to the point where he was straight up lying about a bunch of shit.

Yeah they keep lying its hilarious. Then when you post benchmarks proving Intel is still the better gaming CPU they either ghost the conversation or say that it doesnt matter lol...

 

[Kandyland]

Intel is better for gaming. The end.

Who bothers building a computer for workstation tasks? If you're a graphic designer who needs AMD's multi-threading maybe, that's about it. It's a normie processor for people who use on-board graphics (lmao)

I built a desktop for a friend once. Wanted to do it as cheap as I could so I used an AMD CPU. He wasn't a gamer

As for my own computer, I game so I obviously go with Intel.

 

[BornOnMonday]

AMD because I got a good deal. Hitting 300fps in overwatch so I was very pleasantly surprised.

 

[D3thr0n3d K1ng]

Proud AMD tri-core user here.

Naww j/k who uses that zhit????

 

[GSP_37]

The next computer I buy will be AMD because I read their chips unlike Intel's isn't vulnerable to one particular vulnerability due to not having Intel's feature of guessing shit before you actually do the shit. I'm not saying AMD is much safer than Intel.

 

[IloveTHIS]

Intel.

Just finally moved on from my 2500k I've had for like 10 years to a new 9700k.

AMD is making waves right now to he fair. But leaving intel would just feel "dirty" somehow

 

[rustledjimjams]

Was an Intel guy until this year. Needed to upgrade the old desktop and for the price amd is killing it with ryzen r5 6core. It was on sale at micro center for 169. Compared to the i5 which was 220 or 230.

Needless to say it was an easy choice since I'm not a big gamer.

Damn that chipset is ancient bro. I was holding on to an i3-3000 series, got gifted a i5-5000 series. And finally realized that neither could hold up to even today's mid tier games.

dude that 2500k will always hold a special place in my heart. its a legend. was able to overcock it to 5.0 ghz rock stable for years and years and years. There was no need to upgrade as it handled everything I ever through at it until recently. Games are finally starting to utilize more cores.

Went from 4 cores at 5ghz to 8 cores at 5ghz with my 9700k. I'm flying now

 

[Lint]

I still use an Intel i5 4790k, it suffices most of the time and games run great thanks to that NVidia 1070 TI + 23gb of RAM.

But I'm curious wondering if I might hit a newer setup during BF, how's AMD doing lately?
Looking for something like entry to mid-level i7 (6 cores + HT), 32gb DDR4 and 2 nvme slots or 1 + U.2..

The i7's from that generation still holds up well in gaming. The 7 year old i7-3770 will trade blows with a Ryzen 5 1400. If you pair either one with a something like an RX570 and a budget Free Sync monitor, you'll have a great 1080p experience. On newer modern AAA titles you'll have to turn the details down to medium to maintain that 60fps.

 

[Ladder Master]

Switched to AMD for my first build. I dont really play PC games so I did not need
anything crazy.
I used to have a prebuilt I5 4400 with a 950GTX added later on.
RecentIy I put together a PC with a Ryzen 2600X and a GTX 1650.

 

[Woldog]

I'm neither though I lean more towards Intel. In the past 5 or 6 years I've had in order
AMD FX 8350
Intel i6 6600k
Intel i7 7700k
AMD Ryzen 3700x - current

The major difference between the 7700k and the 3700x is the heat, the 3700x runs far cooler than any current Intel CPU's which I have to take into account because where I live in Australia can get up to 43c (109.8 F ) in summer. At the end of the day AMD or Intel it makes no real difference to me, I'll sacrifice cooling if Intel brought out an absolute weapon of a CPU but my 3700x should last me for a year or two before I get bored.

 

[KaNesDeath]

Went from a i7-5820K to a 3700X. Would of went i9-9900K but didnt want to drop $500 on just a CPU. AMD build let me get the CPU and motherboard for the cost of the i9-9900K.

Game performance wise Intel is still better than AMD.

Sounds suspect. 5ghz stable on a 2500k would need some super srs cooling if you are running games etc. What vcore was is running at?

 

[Canned Tuna]

I've seen some pretty impressive budget builds that have AMD cards. However, I've only ever used Intel and the fact that saving money is the strongest argument in favor of AMD proves that Intel's performance is better.

I have a computer with an i7 3770 that I built in early 2013. I threw a 1060 in it after it's old GPU died. That bad boy can still run a lot of modern games on high at 40+ fps. Maintaining a steady 60 fps on 2019 titles does indeed require turning it down, like you said.

sheit my 3930k and my 980ti sc be putting in work and for the free fiddy ala an affluent eletronic recycler, havent come across anything besides a total war title that requires me to turn down the eye candy

 

[JoshTehV]

fuck intel, i'll support the first 64bit cpu producer til i die. I aint ever spending a dime on intel cpus
