AMD Celebrates 5 Years of Ryzen...and Insomnia at Intel

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

And began selling their 6 core CPU for $300, a 90% price increase over their zen 2 6 core, for a 20% performance increase, promptly abandoning the low end market that had kept them alive for years. They also jacked up the price of their 8 core to $450, wiping out any potential perf/$ arguments, while refusing to support their older chipsets until public outcry forced them to backtrack and support X470. X300 users were still left with buggy beta firmware.

The student has become the master.

Seems like you are new to tech , whoever is on top has the top price since X86 inception and including all brands.
Regardless of public opinion.

Thats true thats the point why ill never buy AMD anymore.
I have only AMD APU till now Godavari for FM2+ but in future ill never buy anything from them.

Oligopol or Monopol fuck off

Yes so you'll keep buying Intel until they become an unassailable monopoly and you'll never have cheap CPUs again.

I hope you're also ready to relinquish any idea of having any x86 processor, because guess what:

Intel did the exact same thing before, and will likely do it again if they ever get the throne back.

Get used to it, drop any fanboyism or brand loyalty you may have. Those are just silly ideas when the two brands are massive corporations that act only to keep the profits going and shareholders happy. Buy what's convenient for you, end of the story.

When AMD was down, I saved my money until AMD came back up, and then paid for a Ryzen 3600.
If AMD had gone 6 feet under, I wouldn't know if I could have afforded a decent gaming computer... or maybe a mediocre 4-core one.

I can't say the same the same for laptops though... due to market dominance... but I don't expect many people to understand what this means.
