  1. This is a great summary. Though you have to give AMD some credit on less mature technology since they only started their Ryzen lineup recently, and Intel has been working on their I series processors for over a decade. I would think AMD has security flaws too, but I would bet many of them are still hidden since Intel still has the majority of market share, though security flaws aren't a big deal for the average person, since most things don't take advantage of them. Servers and important things care about them though, since thats the main priority of attacks. AMD used to be the butt of jokes about heat, but now that Intel is really pushing the 14nm limit, its turning back on them. Again though, great summary.
  2. it'd make sense that the 3300x would outperform the 9100F since its a $50 price difference. Though the i3-9100F still outperforms the Ryzen 3 3100 gaming wise. I agree with the streaming part. If you stream and game, AMD would be a good option. But most people I see/know don't stream, though people that I know are only a tiny fraction of everyone that plays games on a computer.
  3. I ignored it because there aren't too many benchmarks of them out right now, and I figured it'd be best to since the benchmarks wouldn't be that accurate on performance.
  4. One thing I don't understand is, why do so many people shit on Intel? I see so many people recommending AMD processors for strictly gaming builds. I've heard people say, 5 more frames for 80% more cost. Though, there are so many Intel processors that outperform AMD in games. Also, I get it, If you do tasks like editing and other multi core workstation things, go for AMD, cause they outshine Intel in that regard, but right now I'm talking pure games, which is what many people build custom computers for (Note I'm saying many and not all). Take the i3-9100F in consideration. Its only $70 (US), comparing that to a Ryzen 5 3600 which is $167 (US), and they compare within a couple frames on games. Not to mention the i5-9600k which outperforms the Ryzen 9 3900X in games by a dozen or more frames, with being less than half the cost. Another thing that I hear is when a new Intel CPU comes out, its barely faster than its predecessor. The i5-9600 is 5% faster compared to its predecessor (I5-8600), while on Ryzen, The Ryzen 5 3600 is 8% faster than its predecessor (Ryzen 5 2600). Its a small difference in performance across generations for each brand. I used non-overclockable processors to help get base performance and not have the results skewed by overclocks. While Intel does do some shitty things like making you buy a new motherboard when a new series of processors come out even if its the same socket (though if you are upgrading, most of the time you can flash the bios to support newer ones, or some motherboards support USB bios flashing). I can agree, that is an annoying thing, and I get why people complain about that. Intel should allow newer processors to work with older boards on the same socket. One thing that I keep seeing, is people fanboying companies and shitting on everything that isn't made by their preferred company (Applies to both Intel and AMD), when you should buy a product based on how good it is for your needs, and not what brand manufactured it. I try not to be biased about this stuff. I prefer Intel, but that's cause it suits my workload well, and my i5-9600k gives me insane performance when overclocked to 5.2GHz. Something that we can all agree on though, is that Intel needs to retire 14nm and move on to 10nm. I noticed people really like to argue about how AMD is on a smaller architecture, like it makes an insane different on the performance of the processor, but it doesn't make that big of a deal. Yes, an improvement is still an improvement that AMD is doing better on, and I agree with that, but its not a deal-breaker. That's all and my rant is over now. Whats your opinion on this subject?
