16-core, 32-thread $750 Ryzen 9 3950X processor, which — with its 3.5GHz base clock, 4.7GHz boost clock, a tremendous 72MB of cache and an unheard-of 105W TDP
Yea Intel take notice that is a real competitor that just passed you. [Reply]
AMD did not just passed them, they leapfrogged them and everything i gather is that Intel cant hit back until at least middle of 2020, but also by then AMD will be further down the road. AMD's top processor and supposedly better then intel's 1100 dollar processor for 499!
This is just great for the consumer! about time AMD started punching back! [Reply]

Yup, I invested in Ryzen on my last build and haven't been upset with it. Love the competition, especially since it's not all just hot air anymore. [Reply]

its not about crowning anyone, its about competition, we can not get something on par or better then the other guys for 600 cheaper. Thats a fucking win for the consumer. Thats a huge win! As long as they can compare at a cheaper price, then lets do it! [Reply]
Just built a new comp 2 months ago and I went Ryzen. There are still some areas in real world performance where Intel wins but the price/value, etc. put me in a good spot. [Reply]

I've always bought AMD for the competition. The Ryzen 5 1400 in the PC I purchased a couple months ago has met and exceeded at points my expectations. Doing a new build PC when the weather starts to turn in December and will be keeping an eye on this processor.

Yeah, I got a Ryzen 7 2700x and a B450 Motherboard. I tend to build processor heavy, got a pretty solid video card, etc. and then do a mid-life upgrade on video card, memory, and SSD(in this case a M.2 drive) so I don't really need to mess with processor, etc. again until my next full rebuild. That tends to keep things running well. So I'm definitely locked in with AMD for a few years. In all my research, they tended to fair best in price/performance. [Reply]
