Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I'd buy that argument if they had actually showed any investment in helping that assumption come to pass. Instead, their ecosystem is a barren wasteland compared to what Nvidia has built.

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.

The first generation Ryzen 7 rollout was a bit of a mess as well. What with the (understandably) immature BIOSes, and tons of people RMAing CPUs to be replaced due to the segfaulting issue.

AMD seem gaffe-prone. See also the pre-launch hype vs reality of Vega in the gaming space.

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

Fist gen ryzen desktop had the same sot of teething troubles ever CPU has tbh, but they were somewhat moe publicised and a little bigger (not huge but bigger) due to the cleanroom design.

So what's the best upgrade path from 1700X, 2700 or 2700X? 2700X sounds more like an upgrade from 1800X.

Why do you want to upgrade the 1700X? What does the 2000 line bring other than a 15% (being very optimistic) performance gain?

> It also comes with a clear fan, for better RGB light illumination than its predecessor which only had an RGB ring.

How did the RGB naming trend get started?

Rgb leds and colorful illuminated gaming pc's both already existed for decades. But only recently I saw the name RGB pop up in motherboards, keyboards, etc... as if it's something new

Personally, because my CPU has a hardware bug[1], which is now worked around by disabling package C6 state, and I already went through RMA for the segfault bug, so I'd rather now get a newer CPU to begin with.
