After several generations of AMD cpu’s, my most recent computer uses an i7. I really like the performance.
We must be of the few who use these products, I have a 3280
Ivy Bridge I think its a socket 2011. 32gb, and I have it clocked a bit over spec.
I have an SSD and a couple of 1.5TB hard drives. But I need and have 11 fans to keep it cool.
It would be nice to have the power reduced and run cooler.
I also, built a home theatre pc using AMD, and an older intel I5 750 hooked up to a digital keyboard for piano lessons.
Everyone else in the family has laptops, I have an Ipad for travel.
I could see an upgrade to the Carrizo in 2015.
I see the processors moving to ARM for a decade now, of course there has to be support for Win 7 ultimate I run.
