    Two reasons: I want my computer to boot in less than five minutes, and USB devices to stay connected.

      Hasn't been a problem for many years even with memory training on both platforms for the first time.
      >USB devices to stay connected.
      This is more of a problem with the peripherals/medium then the controller itself a.k.a stop getting shitty cables and USB devices

      Quick Sync, but it's a niche use, and I think AMD came with their own version of it recently, but it's not widely supported yet.

      buy a gpu

      better bang for buck at the lower end
      better power consumption for laptops

      >intel is cheaper for the same perfomance
      not by a long shot their efficiency curve is off the scale for years now

        It's pretty interesting how good AMD stuff is from 15 to 88w but can't really go below while Intels "normal" chips are horrible inefficient but got some gems in the low end.

    Going to AM4 first time back w/ a X370 and a Ryzen 1700. I'm still running that mobo and have moved from 1700 to 3900x and then to currently 5600x. I'm now pretty right much at the end of life/platform and it's given me a good run for my money whilst offering clear upgradability path for the platform. Now, I think it generally offers the most bang for buck and at a lower power draw overall. It's APUs are rather more far ahead of Intel's counterparts.

    Pure power/speed - whichever one is that and you pay the price for the performance.

      Why go from a 3900x to a 5600x?

      • 2 weeks ago
        Anonymous

        One of the biggest reasons was I wanted to keep the power draw as my mobo is old and the VRM was hitting extreme high temperatures that it concerned me. I've had put the 3900x on ECO mode to modulate that but the well. And I don't really need all that cores so I'm kind of slimming down in that department.

        As for the GPU, I went from 1060 to 2070 Super and now 4070 all on the same mobo.

        RAM - Went w/16GB 2400mhz to 32GB 3200Mhz and now to 64GB 3600mhz.

        I guess it's more of an iterative upgrade as I move along. Might as well be resourceful - I still have the CPUs and RAMs so I've got backup except for motherboard which there are now tons of solid AM4 boards - I can't lose here.

      Anon, there's one last upgrade for you. They're reselling x3d cache cpus that didn't make the cut to 5800x3d, so you're going to see a 5600x3d. Look it up, not kidding.

      How is it better long time investment when it uses way more energy in the long run and the socket is deprecated after 1-2 generations? Both are pretty much equaly stable now, most of the problems of AMD were fixed by BIOS updates. You only buy it for the brand, don't you?

      Zen4 and Golden Cove cores are practically neck-to-neck at each other at single-threaded stuff. Any differences, although minor comes down to platform specific optimizations.

      All of the so-called stability issues are just idiots overclocking their crap thinking that overclock has no consequences. Protip: XMP/EXPO is memory overclocking (including the integrated memory controller).

    Me and my friend bought full amd systems some years back. Ryzen 5 3600 with saphire 5700xt since all tech tubers sucked amd's cock over them at that time. His 5 3600 kept crashing at stock so he had to undervolt it, mine was okay.
    5700xt was a huge pile of mess. Black screens, poor performance in older DX games, random crashes, really bad boosting with temps and clocks going everywhere, shit 2nd monitor support, overall shit drivers - tech tubers haven't mentioned it for almost a year even though it was present since the launch. I had enough in a month of owning it, rma'd it, added 50$ and bought 2070 super. My friend kept his. It got better after almost 2 years, but it still has poor support of 2nd monitor and it shits the bed from time to time on the second one going black. I had no problems with 2070s since i bought it to this day.
    Later i decided to sell my cpu and upgrade it to 5800x. I also oc'd my memory and got it from 3200 to 3800 at that time. PC kept freezing or crashing. It usually took 5 days to 2 weeks for it to happen with just browsing internet or watching videos. Much frequent while playing games, but not that bad. I thought it was memory and tweaked it over a year. This september gigabyte released new bios update with new agesa for my 570x motherboard. I installed it. Freezes and crashes started to happen 5+ times a day. Thought that it was OC'd memory again. Defaulted bios - still kept happening. Turned off pbo - still kept happening. Locked my cpu at 4.7 GHz - still kept happening, but far less frequent. Locked it at 4.6 GHz and no freezes or crashes since.
    IT WASN'T FUCKING MEMORY - IT WAS FUCKING DOGSHIT AMD CPU THAT COULDN'T HANDLE IT'S DEFAULT FUCKING BOOST ALL THIS TIME.
    At this point i decided to never touch amd ever again.And since tech tubers shilling for amd never stopped i came up with a theory. They want competition to nvidiaintel so bad that they promote inferior product overlooking it's problems just to make you buy it.

          If you care about stability and data integrity then yes. Overclocking is not guaranteed nor is risk-free.
          Any computer in the world that does real work operate at stock speeds for a reason.
