Even my "8 core" AMD chip causes random fps drops.BTW the so called 8 core AMD FX chips are really a quad core with AMDs version of Hyper-threading.I have a pieced together Intel Q6600 quad core DDR 2 rig in the closet that is more stable.A bit Slower but alot more stable. Real world comparison I bet the newest Intel chips will still destroy AMD in performance and stability.Thing is the Price VS performance.A Decent motherboard for an Intel chip is $400-$500 VS $200-$250 for the Best AMD motherboard.Best DDR4 Intel chip is well over $1000. I would love to see the benchmarks of and Intel i7 5960X 3ghz 8 core 16 thread cpu VS AMD RYZEN 7 1800X 3.6ghz 8 core 16 thread cpu.Betting Intel will smoke it in single thread and multicore performance like a blunt because of how the memory controller works in both manufactures chips.But the AMD chip is under 1/2 the price of a similar Intel chip.

This is my current computer haha. Been holding out for the ryzen release but am thinking an i5 is the way to go now. I think stability looks like the biggest concern with ryzen at the moment and can't really wait much longer. Damage_inc- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
