As someone who purchased (early adopted) the Ryzen 5 2400g APU a couple of days after release, I regret every bit of it. We still don't have any motherboards that support it well. I've heard the ASUS boards do okay but they have to be flashed to a new BIOS version (with a different processor in the socket). I'm glad that folks like the hype, but the reality is just terrible.

Clickbait, overclocked Ryzen 7 2700X scores the same as i7 7820X. It's a bit different story

Is it overclocked though? The article says it was overclocked to 4.3GHz. But that CPU has a turbo clock of 4.2GHz [1]. So maybe a 0.1 GHz overclock at most? Or none at all? That Intel CPU has a turbo clock of 4.5GHz, so AMD beats Intel at a lower clock speed? But then I read that turbo clock only affects the two most used cores... I guess it's pretty hard to compare lol

For about $100 cheaper..

The big news here is Intel not having a monopoly on desktop CPUs anymore. I personally remember Intel being the only serious CPU choice for building a desktop since at least 2015. Now a lot of low-medium high desktop builds are using Ryzen instead for the perf/$.

Thats because AMD basically bet the farm on the GPU replacing the FPU for doing floating point math, but never got any real traction for it on the OS level.

That's the maximum turbo clock, which only kicks in when one or two cores are in use. Getting all cores to that speed does count as an overclock.

what would a good motherboard support bring ? (open question)
