I’ve bought AMD in the past, never had a problem but the performance on the desktop with modern Intel CPU’s just isn’t close.

I’ve an Ubuntu machine using a 3rd gen i7 (3930k) - six core with hyperthreading (12 logical)....along with quad channel RAM - it screams.

The 3280 also uses quad channel ram, I didn’t mention it because I didn’t think anyone else used it.

I also have a GPU that doubles to interface width for graphics.

I am sure that you and I won’t see much of a speed increase next box we build.

I have 30mbps download speeds, and that is where I would like the USA to catch up with the rest of the world.

We have a mighty far behind infrastructure compared to other nations. We should have all fiber to the home.
