never, ever, ever, ever buy an AMD chip computer.

I made that decision after my last CRAPPY amd computer of 7 yrs ago.

[Perseverando]

I’ve always used AMD’s. No problems.

All of mine have worked flawlessly.

They have always ran excellent for me.

If flosting point jobs are your major workload, The Bulldozer had problems....

For browsing they are great and the Ryzen should be fantastic.!!!!

So what is your major workload?

I've been very happy with my AMD FX-8350 and FX-990Killer Motherboard for several years. I run lots of virtualized OS' on the 32GB of ram I have installed simultaneously, all seamlessly.

For $149 it's a hell of a CPU. May not compare to an i7 or the new i5's but it's gotten the job done for me reliably for at least 4 years now, probably closer to 5.

I'll be buying a Ryzen 7 tomorrow with a new AM4 Mobo and DDR-4 Memory. All the benchmarks I've seen show it beating the best i7 with the exception of barely getting beat in single-core mode and some old legacy games that I don't play anyway.

Can't wait to get the Ryzen.

BTW my FX-8350 OC's to 4.9Ghz and is stable. Try that with an Intel 4Ghz CPU.

That was true seven years ago. But it’s 2017, and AMD has made major strives in improving both the CPU and motherboard chipset.

I use AMD processors all the time with zero problems
