AMD Community Update: BIOS Updates, Patches, Performance Improvements

Stop embarrassing yourself, my Intel i5 4670K @ 5GHZ (4.8GHZ daily driver) can't keep up against my friend's R7 1700 @ 4 GHZ, I personally tweaked it. Its using 3200MHZ RAM and its a day and night difference in performance when using multi thread applications. Also in gaming its usually ahead of my system. The problem you are describing are happening to very limited people with very specific mobo manufactures and who doesn't face problems on new platform ? Remember Intel had similar issues when they launched Nehalem - TLB bug, Haswell - USB bug, Sandy Bridge -SATA bug to name the few?

The other guy was a bit a twat with how he worded his comment, but Intel does refer to its high-end platform processors as HEDT, not HEDP.

Don't ask me, but they do. All you have to do is search for Intel HEDP vs Intel HEDT and see what results you get.

Twat being the key word....

It's neither here nor there tbh he was being a dick for no reason and it was a typo (grammar Nazi) but still Intel hedp brings up the link I posted and he knew what I meant, guess that was all he had as his argument was null and void...

hey hey hey, don't give the little intel shill ideas, next thing you know he's going to "counter-wreck" you by saying that the keys T and P are far apart on the keyboard
 
So I'm a twat, a dick, a grammar Nazi, an Intel shill, and butthurt, and all that just because I like hardware that actually does what it's makers claim? Oh, and also because I want Ryzen to succeed, so there's more competition and lower prices? I was only expressing my opinion in post #11, which I am always happy to defend in a civil manner. In the next 4 posts, only ssdpro in post #14 had a reasonable reaction. The other 3 acted like I shot their dog, posting emotional knee-jerk comments, because someone dared to list the known issues of Ryzen (even though my message was positive and hopeful of quick success for Ryzen). We all want the same thing - hardware that works as advertised for a reasonable price - so why am I the bad guy? Post whatever you want, about any hardware, in a reasonable, unemotional tone, and I will give you the respect you deserve. If you make it personal, don't be surprised if you get banned. Do a little research on the psychology of why people root for the underdog, and maybe you'll better understand your reactions.

The irony is strong in this one.
 
For a completely new chip/process/system I think Ryzen has delivered.

wrote your first post in a snarky, passive aggressive tone, then when people call you out on it, you resort to pulling the victim card and claim that you supported ryzen all along, gee I wonder why that backfired

"I was only pretending to be retarded" ok bud

Who says it backfired? Now we all know who on this site is sensible and who is prone to personal attacks against those whose opinions differ from theirs. Maybe my tone was passive-agressive, perhaps even snarky, but I made no personal attacks in my original post, against anyone or any company, just stated my opinion on the situation. Others saw that as an excuse to make personal attacks on me and on Intel, and that's fine (I'm sure Intel doesn't care what you think either, especially as I see most of the haters are running Intel systems). 10 people can read the exact same sentence and come away with 10 different opinions about what it said, according to their own bias or prior experience. I celebrate differing opinions, and think it's sad that so many of you insist that only your own opinions are valid.
 
Maybe it's just me, but if I'm in a bull ring with a bull and wave a red cape, I expect the bull to come at me. Can't say I read it as squeaky clean as you wanted it to read.

Now, If I did that intentionally to get a rise out of people, well, the it would be silly as a matador in my analogy, and against forum rules here (flamebait). :)

Can I suggest to move on before we are 'encouraged' to by the staff? :)

Interesting, because you should replace the word Ryzen with Conroe. Fill in the blanks, that is what happens with new micro architectures. Like Intel's Conroe, which eventually got ironed out, same will happen to Ryzen. Though you are over exaggerating all the so called Ryzen issues. of Course,
