Intel or Amd

[ThroneSmasher]

Hi guys i just wanted to ask the community what would be a good cpu to pair with msi gtx1070 i was going to get a kabylake 7700k but it seems like it yields the same performance as a 6700k in gaming,currently have i5 4460 ,i also heard amd is realeasing there new ryzen cpu with comparable performance to intel cpus one reason i was thinking of going amd is because it would pretty much match the red theme of amd with my msi colors from the roots of the hardaare but if not ill just go with a red untel build oh and also the the pricing of those cpus but idk if the pricing is said yet ive just read rumors nothing conclusive but is also set to launch this year a long with canon lake in the 2nd half of the year so idk intel have been dominating the market for so long but now that i read the capabilities of the there new cpu im kind of indecisive after seing there demonstration againts a 6900k

Wait even if RYzen flops Intel still might get scared and lower prices

you can just wait a bit to wait for third party benchmarks from reliable sources

and i suggest you just keeping your current cpu if your cpu isn't limiting you at all (or you're not doing anything very cpu intensive)

If you're interested in ryzen, I'd wait a couple of weeks till reviewers start getting, and testing their engineering samples. AMD has promised an awful lot the last few years.

don't quote the entire thing, you can use @ThroneSmasher if its just a general response.

Wait for AMD's CPUs to get launched if you already got something and can use it.

wait for ryzen to come out

There is no proof for AMD´s Performance yet.

True but CES 2017. you sound like a intel fanboy almost like @patrickjp93

[dizmo]

I'd wait for AMD just to see what it's like.

 

Have you never heard of a period? I don't think I've ever read such a long run on sentence in my entire life.

I'd skip that whole CPU buying part, and find a good keyboard. Your dot button seems to be broken, making your entire post just horrible to read.

This.  Unless you absolutely can't wait, I'd hold off for another couple weeks.

 

If Ryzen is awesome, you'll have a great option for upgrading to.  Also, Intel will go "oh crap, we need to lower the prices on our chips or else people will just buy Ryzen to get the same/90% of the performance for less monies".  So you'll either get Zen-based options, or you'll just get the intel chip you were going to get anyways, for less money.

 

If Ryzen sucks, I'll be bummed (although it'll be a massive upgrade over my aging Thuban), and you'll probably just get whatever intel chip you had in mind anyways.
