Remember the FX-9590 launch? They asked $1000.00 at first. It was one of the most underwhelming Chips that I ever owned. (won it and a motherboard in a contest in July 2013)
But it has been dependable. My son has it in California to play games with and it still works fine with the AMD supplied CoolerMaster AIO it came with.

I remember I was totally sold on the AMD vision with bulldozer already parted my Intel core system, slumming it on a laptop, money set aside talking all that good shit, waiting for the glorious future. Then when reality shows up, I couldn't find a hole to crawl into fast enough. Not anything about the products my comment is directed the monkeys doing it's song and dance in front of them at their respective times. For those defending Intel, especially the "AMD did it too folks" iirc AMD got blasted for doing so then so it's only fair that Intel gets their share of flak.

"amd has already demonstrated that its 24-core Threadripper II is faster than Intel's $1,999 18-core i9-7980XE"

well, whats up, usually 24-core win 18-core cpu...soo,,whats up.


i see and i wonder alot why amd get so must sympaty and hypeting amd cpu and also gpu so much?? its really not earn it. amd build lausy junk gpu and also close cpu. its fact

truth is and i hope readers know it that amd cpu are bad if we verify it intels cpu

if we put same core cpus 1 to 1, amd loose all time and clear.


also it s weird that amd want always put competition more core cpu against intels cpu,example ryzen 2700x 8-core vs intel 6-core 8700k..but what is moust important ,8700k win games and 3dmarks, moust importants.

amd sure win but still might cinbench and luxmark useless total paper performance test.

same is big multicore cpu with amd, THEY LOOSE intels cpu,its fact, go 3DMAKR hall of fame and try foind any amd TR or any amd cpu top 25 or even top 50.. you dont.

reason is that amd cpus are weak,old arch and they cant handle low timing memory bcoz that.

so...only way to amd to try sell them way and that is lower price.

intel 28-core is enough for amd TR2 32-core....wanna bet



and if we think that carefully,its say clear and fact...again how lausy amd cpus are.

only lets say good point is that intel must work again..nothing else...its release so fast cpus Q4/2018 and Q1/2019 that amd end manufactor again, and then forever.

when intel coming gpu market Q1/2019 amd loose also budget gpu market,bcoz its sure intel gpu are reat efficiency what amdäs gpu are not,not even close. vega 56/64 real tdp 500-600W! its notthese days,should banned and hardware site should up it more than its done.


last, truth is that if you want best performance for games and rendering you choose intel cpu...what ever some hardware site give it smpaty and and that way cheat readers.

gaming and 3dmarks score top = intel
rendering and calculating = intel

also TR2 tdp 250w is very very high,its mean amd case over 300w, near 350w,so watercool is must.
and home user not need thouse 32.core nothing,,,absolute nothing at all. even i can buy TR2 100$ i dont buy it.

think and read right site with objektive test.

if there is NOT powerdraw,forget it.

I call Bullshit on that. AMD CPUs are not lousy anymore. They are competing with Intel again in a lot of ways. I have a Six and an Eight core Ryzen system here that both game well with good GPUs installed into them. Heat is not an issue with either of them and they are responsive computers.

Note that I'm ~not~ saying that Intel's making lousy CPUs either. I have several Intel boxes too. Starting with a 6600K, two 7700K, an 8700K, and a 7900X.

If you don't buy bottom of the barrel parts, you can do well with either brand.

Well when the Intel parts being compared stop costing the same or more or we have equivalent priced Intel parts that is as you say 1:1. Also lrn2grammar, English not being your first language only covers a few errors and typos, not a wall of text bordering on limits of legibility. It would've been easier for you to type that out in your native language, convert it in Google translate, read over it and fix the rough bits(optional considering it will still be better than the above) and paste it here. Also you mention tdp and power draw, tdp between the companies is like comparing apples to oranges, and Intel's 8700k sucks as much power with 2 less cores than AMD's 8 cores, it that why you said forget it?

Is 24 core Threadripper beats 18 core i9 ExtremeWhatever while being cheaper BY A LOT, what does it matter how many cores it has and if it lines up with Intel offerings? It's faster and cheaper. That's all users care about. And so do companies. Especially companies where they buy stuff in bulk and the price differences can be huge while they get more performance.

"GamerMan's" post looks very like those from one of the Intel trolls at WCCFT ...

Apologies if this is not the case, but so many falsehoods and non fact-based opinion make it look that way.

The Vega TDP comment was truly laughable.
