When you see JayzTwoCents and even Linus publishing videos in Youtube where they are praising AMD and they are mocking Intel then you know that something is different out there.

Those people put out videos where they mock someone only if it's a trendy thing to do and it drives views. If your benchmark for success relies on what these professional clickbaiters do we might as well go home, there's nothing to do here.

Often enthusiasm can be rather irrational.

I would go Ryzen, but i don't want a 40 MM Fan on my Motherboard in 2019.

Hopefully they will fix this issue in the future.

So does that mean your going to go Intel when they finally bring out a mobo that has PCIE 4.0 and put a fan on it to keep it cool? oh wait....

By this logic you wont be upgrading for along time.

Choosing AMD over Intel is irrational ? Do you see the irony here ?

I didn't say choosing AMD over intel is irrational, and I don't see the irony here.

I'm saying the so-called enthusiasts are a bad sample group to base opinions on.

They may do as you say but still they influence way more people than me, you, this site or other sites with more advanced and accurate benchmarks and reviews so yeah overall I would say that the videos they produce matter.

I will just run my current system untill breaks down then, and give up on PC Gaming.

Get a NUC for my Internet needs and buy a Console.
