Well, I was ready to lock my system down as is on Windows 7. AMD gave a glimmer of hope that I'd upgrade one more time.

So they saved me more money than I expected.

I'm finding chipset drivers for the latest mainboards on the Intel side for Windows 7 though. *If* the drivers are there, that's all that matters.

Here's a test of the 7700k on Win7:

Yeah, I was hoping at least AMD will support Win7, but it seems Microsoft is pretty convincing. I blame Microsoft for this.

Well it'd kinda be like the XP days where you'd have to install drivers from the CD disks that with your Mobo or Graphics card to support Windows7 .... I don't see AMD or any Mobo or Graphics card company doing that . If I was a manufacturer I'd just go with the flow .

I would've understood it if Windows 10 would've been really great as Windows 7 was, but it's not so it's kinda forcing you to use something that's not that good for music. Hope Microsoft fixes it in time. PS. I run Windows 10.

After watching this review i got the impression that for plugins intels cpus are better, because there are still handful of plugins that work only on single core.
