[Laquer Head]

Has a reasonable salary, buys garbage PC components. For shame!

Maybe you should post on /r/personalfinance instead of a computer enthusiast forum

......wait... what.... WTF just happened

To be fair, all Laquer Head does is play games.

The i5 is still a better processor for that. Just sayin.

Besides he games at 4k, none of these processor wars matter. The 1080 Ti is still the bottleneck.

Can't do Ryzen,,, its just not in me. I give AMD credit though!

For shits and giggles I priced out new Ryzen stuff and came out around $850 with everything I'd buy (mobo, CPU [1700X], RAM, new M.2 SSD, CPU cooler). Granted the bump isn't THAT huge from my 4970K but with Ryzen I would definitely go back to AMD. The only reason I went to Intel was because AMD was shit back when I upgraded a few years ago.

 

[Laquer Head]

and that $850 is usd$ but yeah,I get that Ryzen has been priced very aggressively.

I'm still looking at options, and I'm not closing the door on AMD..just yet.... there I said it

You can't close something that was never open....

 

[Laquer Head]

I'm not that reluctant to change..

 

[Darren]

Am I actually getting shit talked by not one but two AMD whores? ?

Are you actually insulting us for recommending you a better product for your money? Either go i7 or Ryzen. i5 as things currently stand is foolish.

Edit: This post is slightly redundant now that I read the second page. I'll leave it.

After like 6 years of i3, i5, i7, the name i9 just sounds like a parody.

Dat competition.

 

[Intel_man]

Apparently i9 is reserved for processors with 6 or more cores.

Which makes sense in the product line where i3 is dual core + HT, i5 is quad without HT, and i7 is quad with HT except for that one entry level kabylake-x that is labelled as i7 but does not have HT?
