Maybe I should start a topic about this new CPU in the Effects forum.
Will it be powerful enough to run a Bricasti VST in realtime? Hmm...

When will AMD chips ever be marketed differently? They're always marketed as being more bang for the buck. The reality is that they're less. And please, don't come with manufacturer benchmarks now. DirectX12 was also supposed to be up to 100% more performant than DirectX11. I checked it in a game the other day, and had 1 frame more. Hell.

Gamechanger...

So will Apple switch from Intel to AMD ?

I don't know if gamechanger is the correct term to use, because it seems to me that AMD is just catching up, but at a more affordable price. However, Intel having competition is always good, as this should help to lower prices and bring some real innovation.

PC builders are those who will get into it first I guess.

So it could be a gamechanger for the Linux crowd.

Calling me fake news?

No, but everyone reports about the new "gamechanger" AMD CPU's. I'm not blaming anyone for just repeating that.

The problem is, if you don't call it gamechanger, noone will get a boner. So everything has to be a gamechanger these days. Not sure what the next thing will be. Maybe worldchanger. After that, galaxychanger. Then, universechanger. Then a black hole will appear and eat us all. Or so.

Will only a low cost high spec CPU create a change in the game?

What about the other periferals that are needed to make a compuer to run, like RAM and storage, etc.

I mean with this AMD processor do you still need 16GB of RAM or can you cut back to 8GB

The only PCs I had lots of trouble with, where ones with AMD CPUs.
Never ever...

Replace that with graphics cards, and, yep, you got it...

The CPU's were ok though... even though the system requirements of games always said "Pentium II 300 MHz, or AMD Athlon 600 MHz required".
