dicktracyWhat r u even talking about. I'm currently using R7 1700. It seems the toxic AMD community is a reality.

Only advantage AMD has is price. That's it. Performance still belongs to Intel and Nvidia. You don't brag about owning an inferior product, but I guess the red team has no shame.

And that same Hardware Unboxed guy burned his 7800x which leds us to question his competency.

Troll_Slayernotb said, "Generally speaking, Intel's 14nm architecture is still more efficient than current Zen.
i7-7700 draws less power than Ryzen 5 1400 (idle and load) while being more powerful (both 4C/8T, TDP 65W)."

NOPE

... and power, thermals, and IPC get worse for Skylake-X

notb is an unreliable source of information

the54thvoidAnyway, it's sad....

Can a mod clean it up?

EarthDogdid you report it? Otherwise you will have to hope they run across the thread versus poi ting it to them so they may react faster. :)

notbIt's unanimous where? In the AMD coffee room? :)

Some more reviews (I hope I'm not cherry picking, since these are all major CPU reviewing sites):

From Hexus:
"...a 10-core powerhouse offering excellent IPC performance and outstanding multi-core potential in a single $999 chip armed with plenty of overclocking headroom."
That doesn't exactly mean "garbage line-up of fail products" in my book.

dicktracyAdd in another review from yet another reputable reviewer that is Digital Foundry:
www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2017-intel-skylake-x-review-core-i9-7900x-i7-7820x-i7-7800x-i7-7740x

The 1800x is behind all of them, but somehow we're to believe a lesser 1600x is magically faster than a 7800x in that ONE review out of everyone else's.

Skylake X is king of kings. They can charge whatever they want just because of that alone. You don't have to buy it. I chose a 1700 because it's cheap but I ain't gonna act like Intel is garbage.

R0H1TAnd most of your earlier posts sound like AMD is bargain basement or trash can garbage & that;s what you're accusing others of saying. Intel is king of the hill in terms of ST IPC, has the fastest gaming processor out there, has a shite IGP compared to the best AMD APU & Ryzen has Intel beat on efficiency, even in select server tests :rolleyes:

phanbueyAs was said -- this is like when Jim Keller left AMD. A clear sign of mismanagement if you lose talent like that.

the54thvoidWithout reporting it, maybe I was hoping people would get the message. With hindsight it's lucky I was not elected as a mod, I'd have nuked the forums from orbit.

NGreediaOrAMSlowYes, Intel is better for gaming, but if you haven't seen AMD is closing the gap every month.

Also a lot of people mention better at IPC. But to truly compare IPC you have to clock both chips at the same clocks, same memory speeds, etc, and then see which processor crunches data faster.

But most Intel that beat AMD Ryzen for what I seen like the 7700 needs nearly a full gigahertz more to do that.

And that's definitely not better IPC. Better OC gaming part yes, but more powerful and efficient NO.

TheLostSwedeWhy is a post about a company employee leaving turning into an AMD vs Intel fight? Can you lot please go make your own forum threads with your own topics please? You can fight as much as you want without destroying unrelated posts with your BS.

TotallyAre you serious? Are you that narrow sighted a that my comment has to be alluding to AMD v. Intel? It can't be me simply perceiving his actions as a very shrewd move in ending his long tenure at big blue on a high note, and possibly due in part to dissatisfied with how things are run over or some other friction? Because that is exactly what I was implying for him it is simply ending a good run and if there is any reckoning it has nothing to do with him . What does that have to do with AMD?
