Okay Jow Forums, let's put all the shilling aside for a second. Convince me to buy a Ryzen, like real solid reasons. For 100€ I get the intel 8700k equivalent of a Ryzen 2700x build, AND a noctua cooler, AND better ram compatibility AND better motherboard, AND better (or at most equal) overall performance (gaming + workstation tasks). Unless all the benchmarks are biased and intel is paying them not to show the post meltdown + spectre real performances, but I'm not that paranoid yet.
Other than being little cheaper, I don't see any reason to switch to a Ryzen CPU. Proove me wrong.
>youtube.com/watch?v=Mr2B0RJd7Nc isn't it pretty close to the 8700k anyways? And comes with a stock cooler and just slightly overclocked in the video.
James Nelson
They're fairly close, yeah
Connor Stewart
what are the workstation tasks in which ryzen btfo a 8700k? Aside from graphic design and 3d rendering which i'll never use anyways
Luis Hall
The 8700k is a dead platform, it will be replaced by the 9700k in June
The 2700X is unimpressive either, literally a Skylake to Kabylake jump. I guess 1st gen Ryzen owners will hop over to Ryzen 3
William Lopez
what about somebody who needs to buy the whole rig and possibly can wait until early june?
Isaac Sullivan
Wait for the Intel 8-core, if its gud then go for it
If you can't wait, buy a 2700X
You can hop on to Ryzen 3 next year
AMD shills shit on Intel for changing mobos every iteration but on Ebay right now there are a shitton of X370 boards and 1st gen Ryzen chips on ridiculous firesale prices
Thomas Morgan
I can wait but if they launch it at 500€ they can kindly fuck off. If price will stay around 300€ I can consider it. >AMD shills shit on Intel for changing mobos every iteration but on Ebay right now there are a shitton of X370 boards and 1st gen Ryzen chips on ridiculous firesale prices Isn't it placebo tho? Like, Zen+ is not even a full upgrade and still it works better on X470 and related new chipsets, so all in all isn't the same thing? Also the AMD Stock coolers are a good deal and everything, but who is gonna use them for overclocking anyway? I wouldn't trust anything less than Noctua for my CPU.
Hudson Gomez
>For 100€ I get the intel 8700k equivalent of a Ryzen 2700x build, AND a noctua cooler, AND better ram compatibility AND better motherboard What are you talking about? You don't even get the CPU alone for that price.
Dominic Jackson
>Unless all the benchmarks are biased What shitty benchmarks have you been looking at? Except for games, 2700x is ahead of 8700k at pretty much everything across the board.
Just go kill yourself intelshill.
Tyler Mitchell
I'm not a shill, but i am an AMD fanboy. I try to stay away from the others, because most of the die hard fanboys, who use time spamming online, are fucking autistic.
I wouldn't have tried to convince you to buy faildozer, i even advice against it to my friends and brothers, when they called to hear what AMD they should get, after hearing me praising AMD for years at that point. The 2500 from Intel was better for the Windows gaming environment back then
It's not the price for me, it's that AMD seems more pure. They're not without guilt, but they do not do the kind of shit Intel does. Many European simply can't accept what they have been punished for already, and what they're doing now. Paying of OEMs to use Intel exclusively, with success, even in the times 15 years ago where AMD was king of all charts, cheaper and way better. And then "supporting" developers to optimize per core performance. With the online logical explanation for this resource investment, being that they realized that AMD could be killed off as they focused on multi core early. And that almost happened. Weirdly enough, last month or so, Intel for the first time, started supporting multi core coding, as for some reason, now is the time.
On the CPU side, there's A LOT of undocumented instructions on Intel, also a handful on AMD, but a lot on Intel. See black hat conference videos, or google it online.
Sebastian Perez
I thought that too. Guess he means €100 extra. However if it's literally €100 for an 8700k setup then this whole fucking thread is pointless.
Caleb White
>The 8700k is a dead platform, it will be replaced by the 9700k in June
i mean yeah i guess
but who buys a processor every gen?
Carson Powell
High quality single PC streaming.and VM multitask.
Zachary Green
For 100 euro? Doubt it.
Gavin Hughes
Wrong. Skylake to kabylake was a rebrand. Pinnacle ridge has actual improvements in memory controller, caches, core frequency. Actually fuck you, how the fuck 10% summit to pinnacle ridge improvement is same as 0% skylake to kabylake improvement? Kabylake actually got downgraded, jewtel blocked bus overclock.
Mason Ross
>that video >it's probably shit >oh wait it actually includes frametimes and frametime graphs >cool, lets take a look at ryzen memed "smoothness" >get pic related top kek, not even their second gen cpu is more smooth than intel shit, god I still remember first ryzen launch >its faster >look it's not >it has better minimuims >no it doesn't here is proof >well it Feeels smoother >but it's not here is frametime graphs >but the motherboard is cheaper >but it's more RAM dependant and the cost of ram is far higher than the motherboards I wonder what the next meme fallback will be.
It's extremely close on gaming. It does much better in Plex streaming. Those are the two things I'm concerned with. Combine that with the fact that those are 8700k @ 5ghz results makes it an easy choice.
Hudson Morgan
>Combine that with the fact that those are 8700k @ 5ghz results makes it an easy choice. >@ 5ghz Literally too dumb to look at the picture or video. Is this literally how dumb amd shills are?
Nathan Flores
>one screenshot Good goy, destroy those anti-semitic racist AMD fanboys!
in that video the 8700k is stock and the 2700x is oc'd tho. I get it with the philosophical aspect of the matter, it's like the Windows vs Linux in desktop experience, and I've always been a diehard Linux fanboy, so I completely got you and agree that Intel are a$$holes and don't deserve a dime. But, unlike Linux, AMD isn't free as in free beer, so, since I'm not that rich I can waste 600€ on a cpu+mobo+RAM combo, I'd like to choose wisely and purely based on the products themselves. My usage would be both developing and vmWork, light to heavy, and some light streaming and gaming in the free time aswell. It's been more than 10 years since my last desktop and I was stuck with laptops since now.
Matthew Collins

If you ONLY game buy intel, else buy ryzen

Camden Roberts
No meltdown spectre, no up to 50% iops cut, no scamm, more threads that are also cheaper, runs cooler, AM4 will hold strong to 2020, also with ryzen + same or better Performance then 8700k
Thomas Watson
I'm looking at the new ryzan for my next build because in my country is quite a bit cheaper then Intel's equithlent 8 core CPU.
I'm gonna wait for Intel's next release. If they release a chip that's better then the ryzan but only $100 more it would be worth it for me. But they sell theres for 300 extra here.
Also the 1080 is cheaper and better then the Vega series so I'll be getting that.
Luis Long
8700k is 100€ more? Get the 2700x then, easy.
Parker Jackson

Camden Ortiz
Please post with your trip so I can filter you again
Adrian Phillips
8700k is hard to cool when ocing. Even at 1.3v it hits nearly 90 in stress testing with a cryorig h7. And everyone says it's pretty much typical. The Ryzen 2k series can be cooled with a cheap cooler like the h7 no problem and it has an upgrade path since am4 will be supported through 2020, meaning Zen 2 and possible a Zen 2+ will be options for you.
Jeremiah Clark
>I ever used a trip baka
Isaac Sanders
>watch video >frametimes are mostly the same between CPUs I can cherry-pick too, you dumb shill
Because they have better performance and even are few $ cheaper?
Jason Sanchez
>they have better performance but do they, really? Like in the real world outside the 5-10% gains in benchmarks? Are they used professionally? And are they the same as/slightly less on gaymen enviroments?
Jace Russell
Kill yourself piece of shit jew
Parker White
>I can cherry-pick too Yeah and the assassins creed one and the hitman one are in ryzen favor. The rest of them are exactly the same, so that's neither a win in intel or amds favor. Add at least one more cherry pick that is in ryzen favor to balance it out.
>abloo abloo bloooooo Nobody cares that you can't shill for AMD in a vacuum.
Jaxson Butler
By buying Rtzen products you don't directly support Israel and the Jewish agenda. That's pretty cool if you ask me.

Also if you want to overclock it you don't have to invalidate your warranty to prevent it causing a house fire.

Buying a CPU now is fucking retarded anyway if you have a decent one that is less than a decade old. IPC has barely changed since Sandy Bridge and multi-core optimization for 4+ threads is still a joke.
Christian Young
It's only a bad deal because of DDR4 prices. Otherwise a sandy bridge will need some 3 or 4 times the power draw to match a current CPU in performance, and that adds up in electricity bills.

what motherboard should i get for the 2700x? i need help bros
>can get up to 82% vs 47% on CPU usage Doesn't this worry the Intelguys? 8 cores is where it's at.
James James
If anything, this video just shows that save for one or two games, Ryzen goes toe-to-toes with 8700k. Even better, in most of those games Ryzen used less CPU than intel, which leaves more room for multitasking for things like voice chat and streaming. Intel really should be scared. AMD released a CPU that can pretty much keep up with Intel and is much more affordable.
Jeremiah Wilson
so how is the liquid metal and 360mm rad doing?
Austin Campbell
There are Intel documents that show that Coffee Lake will have an 8-core processor on a new Z390 motherboard, completely separate from the 10nm 8-core Icelake that Intel is scheduled to unleash next year
That Z390 board can be used for regular 6-core Coffee Lakes but not vice-versa
It has a June-July release date
The 2800X is also missing, they don't have to occupy a pricepoint that does not exist yet
That 8-core Coffee Lake will probably cost close to $400
Reason why they did not release the 8-core Coffee Lake last year? They're adding all their Meltmeme and Specmeme """patches""" so they decided to just cuck the 8700k users
Austin Watson
So, how do you predict the 4xx or 5xx AM4 motherboards will compare to the 350B i have currently?
I heard some of the features in the new processors might be chipset dependent
Xavier Johnson
>Doesn't this worry the Intelguys? Their new tech won't be ready until 2020 or 22, what do you think they'll do in the meantime >8 cores is where it's at. Intel has been saying that you didn't need more than 4 cores for how long? We now know that they couldn't make more than 4 cores cpus without getting stupidly high powerdraw/temp and whatever else, they had to quickly shit out something to tide Zen's momentum last year but Amd's second volley created a few more holes into their defences and they know that they won't fare well next year if Zen 2 delivers on its promises.

>this shit again
Jose Gomez
>yfw 3600 with 8 cores at 5GHz next year >yfw 3700 with 12 cores at 4.8GHz next year >yfw 24 core TR might be possible next year
Well, because you pay 100€ less for better CPU you numbnut.
Anthony Hall
Intel has a long history of anticompetitive practices. They literally paid OEMs off to use their tech only and paid vendors off to basically shit talk AMD in promotions.
And you're not "paranoid" enough to think they're above paying off reviewers to use pre-meltdown numbers on their charts? These cunts aren't even above submitting a meltdown fix pull request to the Linux kernel that gimps AMD as hard as them. The bastards don't even give a fuck about hiding their manipulations anymore.
Jeremiah Moore
Right arch, tooling and problem set. See: GPUs

Looks nice, but where does the PSU even go in that case?
Matthew Thompson
Looks like it's tall enough for the psu to go under the mobo
Carter Hughes
you can already OC the 2700x to 5ghz now
Brody Garcia
its a cooler master haf xb. so its in the basement.
Jackson Ward
>evga 750 that's my old psu. it took a shit. so i replaced it with a seasonic foucs+ 750. as pointed out its a haf xb evo from cooler master.
Did you notice that the fps was almost the same while clock speed of Ryzen was lower? If you over clocked it, I bet it would have performed better
Austin Reyes
Zen+ has officially superior IPC than Intel, the only reason Intel wins is by bruteforcing niggahurtz just like with the Pentium 4.
Daniel Sanders
It depends if you're gaming too. The Ryzen 7 2700X beats the Intel i7 8700k if you're streaming and CPU-encoding your video. The two additional cores really make a difference. How much does it matter? Well, the sensible thing to do would be to use your GPU to encode anyway. This does effect stream quality somewhat but you'll probably use the faster preset in OBS anyway so it's not that much of a difference.
Sebastian Gonzalez
I had no idea Chromium took like 1-2 hours to compile.
Connor Price
The Ryzen box is just way better looking and i intend on taking a selfie with it when it arrives and that's it really

Not all AMD fanboys are anti-semites, but all anti-semites are AMD fanboys.
Our test rigs now include Meltdown And Spectre Variant 1 mitigations. Spectre Variant 2 requires both motherboard firmware/microcode and operating system patches. We have installed the operating system patches for Variant 2.
Today's performance measurements do not include Intel's motherboard firmware mitigations for Spectre Variant 2 though, as we've been waiting for AMD patches to level the playing field. Last week, AMD announced that it’s making the mitigations available to motherboard vendors and OEMs, which the company says should take time to appear in the wild. We checked MSI's website for firmware updates applicable to our X370 platforms when AMD made its announcement, but no new BIOSes were available (and still aren't).
Unfortunately, we were only made aware that Variant 2 mitigations are present in our X470 board's firmware just before launch, precluding us from re-testing the Intel platforms with patches applied. We're working on this now, and plan to post updated results in future reviews.
The lack of Spectre Variant 2 patches in our Intel results likely give the Core CPUs a slight advantage over AMD's patched platforms. But the performance difference should be minimal with modern processors.
