Oh gosh. Forgot all about that shit. No thanks.
Do AMD not realise that Linux/Privacy nerds stuck with them regardless for years. Would they have survived without that loyalty?
Do linux and privacy focused consumers actually make up a large portion of their market share? Linux users still make up a small portion of desktop users, and not even all of those really care much about privacy.
By themselves, no.
But they're the people friends and family ask for help when deciding to buy a computer. It's why Intel has slumped. Most people don't know what a CPU does, so that's not why they're picking Intel or AMD - they're choosing based off recommendations from more knowledgeable people.
And they are early adopters.
For many years AMD was uncompetitive compared to Intel / Nvidia. Intel had 80% of the market at one point. It probably would have died off if it wasn't for folk that wanted Linux compatibility. Many run FOSS because of privacy. Linux is a key part of that.
Still rocking an i5-8400 and a 1060. It's fine for FFXIV and most other games.
Until GPU prices come down, the CPU is the least of my worries. I'll play anything that needs decent hardware on my PS5.
GPU prices have come down havent they?
I am still running an FX-8320 and it’s fast enough for everything that I need it for. It baffles me to see people arguing about the differences between different Ryzen CPUs.
Some people use computers for more demanding things. For anyone who just uses the computer for web browsing, email and watching videos, anything but the most feeble machine from the past decade or more will be fine.
If you're not running the latest games it really doesn't matter at all.
It is not an upgrade over the 7800X3D.
For me, it's because:
- I have a 5950X and it seems pointless to upgrade from there. Sure the new stuff is faster, but disproportionately so for the price. I would need to replace a bunch of components.
- I recently upgraded to 128GB RAM, and it was cheaper to do that with DDR4
- I've had 2 faulty Ryzen processors (1700X, then my first 5950X), and I've learned to wait until the kinks are ironed out.
Out for curiosity, why do you need 128gb of ram?
As of yet, I don't. But the idea is I eventually move my VM/container host back to my more powerful desktop machine. It also runs Gentoo, so now I can build everything in RAM, even large packages like Firefox, without having to close other programs.
Everybody has to support the new new underdog Intel.
I did! I bought shares when they tanked.
They're still tanking
Good job! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
I got another 3-5 years with my 5800X3D
I have an other 2-3 years with my 1600.
I've got another 5 or 6 years with my FX-8150.
Not alone there. Still humpin a couple systems with those. Still runs SWBF2 so im good

I'll probably get one, once enough of its vulnerabilities are discovered and post-mitigation benchmarks are released.
And once I have enough money.
money.... chip I have in my rig right now is so expensive, I would need to save up for at least a year. its not broken so the money can be used on other things.
the capitolists are almost at the end of the of hungry hungry hippos game played with the world's money.
Mine is pretty expensive too (at least for me, it is). I just make sure not to fly without a rebuy.

My 3700X is still working fine for me.
