AMD rose very well in quality, but not in price, so you can safely take it

bump for this topic, and i am gonna add the option regarding threadripper and i9. i have no idea that why Intel is still squeezing their toothpaste while AMD one (Threadripper) was originally not in the plan of release.

I wouldn't go with Intel or AMD for my new computer, because i am tired of that "security" features they invent from year to year. Just take a look what Intel Management Engine or Platform Security Processor can do while your computer is powered off and get scared of how your system is backdoored.

I've always went for Intel for some reason and recently I finally managed to obtain n i7 7700K and I must say I'm pretty pleased. Doubt you can go wrong with AMD either. We're past the years when gaming was CPU demanding. I only took the more pricey option cause i already had a good GPU.

I feel that there are still uses for both processors in the future. Intel would still dominate in the laptop market as they have low power consumption but decent performance while AMD would be targeting the beginner content creator, streamer and gamers with their low cost with high core count. Intel would still dominate in high framerate gaming and professional/high end youtube video creators.
hope many will support AMD so that the competition still available and much better if there is some company to rise so that we can have good competition and price its a win-win situation for us consumers.
Competition is always good for us consumers. I'm pretty sure many of us were expecting a price drop on some of the Intel processors but I guess that was not true. I think they know that they are still better in certain scenarios like gaming performance.

AMD is very good in gaming but it fast to heat up so you must have a good cooling system if you using AMD.
Unlike Intel its good in multi tasking and gaming also and dont need a expensive cooling system.

I am about to upgrade my pc, and I do not know which one to choose. Between 1800X or 770k which is better for games?

Well, it really depends on a few factors:

  • What graphics card you have.
  • What resolution you game in.
  • What game(s) you play.

If you have a low end graphics card then it really won't matter which CPU you choose because the GPU will be the bottleneck in your system.

If you have a mid/high end GPU then the resolution you game at becomes more of a determining factor. Generally speaking, currently the 7700K is better at 1080p or lower resolutions, but there are certain games that the 1800X outperforms the 7700K at in 1080p, so the actual game(s) you want to play then become more of a deciding factor; I'd suggest you look at reviews of both CPUs on the specific games you play.

Once the resolution goes above 1080p the gaming performance of both the 7700K and 1800X is more or less equal, although the 7700K does pull ahead by a slight margin if you average out FPS across game titles.

Now, if your intention is to only play games then the 1800X is not the right Ryzen to even be considering, wait a couple of weeks for the Ryzen 5 series to launch and then look at the reviews for the 1600X and 1500X to see how these compare to the 7700K.

This link is a good read to help get a better understanding of the effect of the GPU in certain games with multiple CPU examples, including simulated Ryzen 5 results:

Well i think amd is bettet than intel .with 2gb graphics card of amd , the performace it gives is unbeatable when compared with intel .amd has more powerful and i think the price of amd will go down a lot also.

my choise amd for gaming intel for working

AFAIK the benchmarks have proven AMD Ryzen is not better in gaming, yet is excellent with productivity, as seen in the general reviews. anyway, it is just a few of my satoshi.

as of now I go for Intel as they are still dominating the industry but hoping AMD will catch up so that we consumer will benefit because of the competition they are having.

I picked the Intel i7 7700K - great processors for a good price. The extreme editions are just way over priced for little performance gain. I would never waste my money on one of this or an AMD piece of shit.

For the last years intel has been always ahead but I think that ryzen may be a pretty good option. It's too early for me, I want to see more benchmarks but in a couple of months I may get an AMD if the performance / price ratio is better than the intel counterpart.
If AMD goes full OpenSource I'll go ryzen even if the performance is lower, we have to support freedom.

I am not much informed about these new CPUs, but according to my so far experience with AMD and Intel, Intel was always one step ahead when comparing with AMD, so I would always choose Intel if my funds are enough for it.

New processors from AMD supposedly have a good performance in office, but not for gaming. I prefer Intel unequivocally.

New AMD Ryzen 1700x is a little below the Intel 6950x so it is great for gaming or heavy graphic computing and rendering. Intel will have to lower its prices if it wants to be competitive. During this month AMD Ryzen line of processors will be available for all of us to try.

I did not knew AMD had released a new generation of processors, I will check on that, but are they any good, for a long time if you wanted to have the fastest processor the answer was always the same, go Intel, AMD was good for budget computers.

AMD Ryzen processors are both great in price and performance, the 1700x being only second after the Intel 6950x with half the price. It is a welcome change after 5 years in where AMD kept nailing new nails in their coffin, now they are back. Low power consumption compared to Intel extreme processors and better performance. We the consumers only want competition which was absent these 5 years from AMD.

Why though? AMD is way better for the price. I will definitely be using amd in my next pc build.

definitely better for the price but Intel probably wont keep the current prices, they will likely lower them in response. Now that low but probably low enough that will make people rethink.

Virtual Servers are the way of the future.  Intel supports virtualization better than AMD.

Which is a totally irrelevant comment to make when discussing a desktop PC.

I'll be upgrading my FX-8350 in a couple of months and will most likely buy either the 1700 or 1700X.

AMD have released a great platform with their new Ryzen chips. Sure they are currently having some teething issues, as all new architectures generally do on release, but they've effectively caught up to Intel and sit at a lower price point.

Plenty of people have raised concerns about the current 1700, 1700X and 1800X trailing the 6700K/7700K in gaming performance, mostly Intel fanboys to be honest, but what they either fail or don't want to accept is the current release of Ryzen 7 chips were never targeted to compete directly with these chips; this is what the Ryzen 5 range will be targeting. I can understand some peoples confusion though given the 6700K/7700K are part of the i7 series for which the Ryzen 7 series was named to compare with.

I suspect that in a month or two we'll be seeing Ryzen 7 decrease or eliminate the perceived problem with 1080p gaming that currently has been shown in a lot of benchmarks.

for the people who are concerning about the AMD is challenging the Intel, i want to know how you would feel about the price of high end CPUs between Ryzen or i7. Huh if the hype of AMD is true, some of the people holding high end PC with Intel are mad about it.

i will stand for 1700 with overclocking to 3.3 GHz. Grin
Using an Amd processor is affordable and its graphic is so powerful. But I prepared Intel because it design for multi-tasking and the performace is not depends only in the processor also in the memory, grapics card, hard drive or ssd, cooling sytem and monitor to make better performance.
