Recommending Rzyen

[Fuzzleworth1]

Something I just noticed is that so many people reccomend Ryzen processors but most of those people have Intel. If so many people recommend it, then why don't a lot people have it. Please dont be total a**holes about it, it's just something I noticed.

It has a really normal reason. Intel is having a 14nm shortage at the moment, that makes pricing way too high. and amd doesn't. that's why we (and I) recommend amd the last while

[Shimejii]

Because they already bought the systems or have a different usecase. I have a 5930k, 6c/12t CPU, That was made 2 years before ryzen was ever a thing. Just because we have intel parts doesnt mean we cant recommend a good product.

 

Dont be a pathetic Flamebait troll, your not welcome here if you do that.

and even I, as a daily user of my 8600k say amd is a better choise. just becouse prices sucks. maybe I would recommend differently if all prices were the same. not only with intel/amd, but also with amd/nvidia

I wasn't trying to be a troll, I was trying to have a civilized conversation and see what people thought.

And I'm not denying that right now AMD is a better choice and if Nvidia keeps up what they're doing then AMD will quickly surpass them too

I proudly use AMD and recommend it where it is appropriate, If someone has a 5k budget then fine, get a 9900k and be happy, but for the average user, the 1-5(at 4k) and 20 at 1080p less frames is worth it for such a lower cost. 

 

Their so cheap I got two... literally...

Because Intel was clearly the better purchaser until Ryzen+ came along offering on pair performance for SO MUCH cheaper since Intel prices were always absurd high premium and now with the shortages it's even worse.

[Dedayog]

Just as said before, it's a price/performance thing.

 

You'll see Intel recommended when it's appropriate, for example when max gaming performance is wanted without regard to price.

 

When I upgraded earlier this year, Intel was actually cheaper than AMD.  The 8700K bundle at Microcenter was cheaper than a 2700X bundle.  I wanted max gaming.  With current pricing, I'd go 2700X if I had to do it today.

For me the reason is simple: I bought my system in 2015 where AMD wasn't really competitive. My next laptop and desktop PC will both have AMD processors though (unless Intel changes the game completely again).
