How does it feel to know that the Ryzen has burst through Intel Propaganda on Reddit and come into it's own as the #1 processor in terms of bang for your buck? Yeah, even for gamers.

Beyond that it cuts the time for rendering media in half when compared to the last generation of processors that we were buying and praising just a year and a half ago. Literally twice as deadly as the chipset that holds the world record for fastest clock time.

AMD is still of course the go to choice for anyone and everyone who wants to overclock, and in keeping with this spirit, AMD couples the unit with an easy-to-install air cooler that is next to silent and has the raw chill factor to keep your CPU that has been overclocked as much as 30% nice and cool, no messy water coolant required until you near the upper eschelon of overclocking.

AMD is slated to launch the Ryzen 3 series and a Ryzen Mobile chipset by the end of the year.

The fog is lifting, and nobody is buying that Ryzen is shit anymore.

What? I thought people knew AMD has a fighting chance right now and that Intel seems to be scrambling, according to what's going on at computex with... i forget who, but companies weren't prepared for the last minute decisions Intel is making

Days after launch Reddit declared Ryzen 7 a total failure and an unusable CPU.

The image only really started recovering after Ryzen 5 came out and poorfags started buy them up and nobody wanted i5s anymore. That's when Intel started worrying.

Hardcore 'muh rig' gamers wouldn't touch the R7, so it was pretty much just the AMD 'how fucking far can I push this processor' overclock crew was using them. But R5 users reported good things, and Ryzen 5 started getting called the next mainstay in non-hardcore PC gaming. Magazines and shit said 'move over i5' and that's when the Peesee Mustard Rice crew started buying Ryzen 7s.

Personally, I was pumped for the Ryzen 7 launch, but the internet killed it for me.
Now that word on the street is getting more positive I can't wait to get my hands on one.

I've been practicing my build skills for a week.
I've disassembled, dusted, and rebuilt every computer I have in prep.
My friends and I went to Fry's a couple days ago and they bought some PC parts and I put them together for them to get familiar with assets that are standard on this year's mobos and some of the newer drive mounts.

I remember when drive cages used to be massive steel boxes and now they're neat little shelves or clips.

Def gonna build one of these before the end of the year.

Only source I need.

Ryzen isn't a terrible CPU, as much as I love the memes of "AMD is finished!" it certainly is a good processor, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still only going toe to toe with an i7 and that same i7 is cheaper. Intel is partly to blame for Ryzen's success as well considering they release the best chip on the market and then literally just sat around doing nothing thinking AMD wasn't going to even bother. AMD's Ryzen is just like their GPUs pretty good but you can get a better performance product for cheaper not going with AMD.

I'm not fond of Intel's reactionary move either, because it was so based on trying up the ante against AMD. I'm happy that an i9 finally exists, but it'll be a cold day in Hell before I pay $2k for a single chip when I can buy an entire i7 gaming computer for the same price.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
im no expert but i value the extra multitasking power over single core power

Yeah having two processing threads to each core is a huge boon for people who aren't trying to Twitch stream Japanese onahole VR games on ultra while 4K video chatting with their mom. Then you might not want to hyper thread. (or do that at all)

Ryzen is fucking great for having 2.43e+11 tabs open in chrome while rendering in professional video software though.

My big problem is Ethereum miners have bought up all the Radeon cards and now Ryzen's perfect match is virtually unavailable on the market.

So what is recommended for someone going into 3D art

Currently looking at a £500 budget for jardware alone (without monitor)

Ryzen is better for work related tasks, but considering you're on a tight budget and have other pieces of hardware to get, go Intel.
