What the fuck do they mean that ryzen is better in multitasking?
I'm currently running a shitty laptop from 2012 with an i5 and 4gb of ram. I recently got an i7 with 32 gb of RAM for work and jesus, I've been living like a caveman. I decided I needed a new computer this weekend.
Although I do plan on gaming somewhat, I just want to be able to use visual studio, android studio, and have a lot of shit open at once. Money is not a big issue.
Should I get ryzen or 7700k? Going to micro center or fry's tonight.

>gaming somewhat
Define somewhat
20% or 50%?
>>59225277
AMD always shits their streets, this will be no different.
>>59225277
Compile big projects? Ryzen all the way!
Compile small programs? Buy whatever is cheaper, maybe r1700
>>59225307
Like probably like 20% or less lol and shit tier low graphics games
>>59225277
Right now: Ryzen shits on Intel for video rendering, encoding, compiling, etc.
Note: Ryzen has some teething issues. You can expect somewhat better performance in a few weeks once updates and patches roll out.

>s? Buy whatever is cheaper, maybe r1700
Forgot to mention i'm deciding between 1700 and 7700k

Get 1700 then, better for your use case.

Thank you for supporting Israel with the purchase of ryzen! :^)

If you render, encode, compress, etc; the Ryzen chip is almost twice as fast. It's slower in games right now because their SMT implementation is buggy and not all games support it.

You realize both Intel and AMD are global companies with offices there, right?

Meaning Kikes could be a part of working on Ryzen/Zen+. :^)
There is no Nvidia R&D in kikeland, just mere sales offices. Interesting....

Ryzen.
1) Future proofing, AMD keeps sockets for longer.
2) We're finally breaking out of the Jewtel monopoly

get R7 1700x
>>59225277
I didnt see VM performance anywhere for ryzen, it would be interesting to see how much smooth it goes, but memory can be a limiting factor.
>>59225277
lol you're so fucking dumb
Gaming a priority? Get the fucking 7700k
You want good speeds for compiling, encoding shit,decrypting,hashing,etc? Get the fucking ryzen.
I don't get what's so rocket-science about this. Anyways,most of the serious software take advantage of more cores & threads, not to mention it's kind of future-proof.

The $330 65W btfo out of the $1000 140W part too interestingly enough.

this.
Workstations: Ryzen
Gameconsoles: *intel
If you want to run a browser while playing games then you should also get a Ryzen. The only reason to use intel is for literal single-task gaming-rigs. Pretty much no consumers use their computer for a single task, even web browsers are 100% multithreaded these days.
Yep, intel is for virgin neckbeards with no job, AMD is for programmers/professionals in general.

They keep a database of every cpu they test so people can compare processors from previous generations to current. Its a pretty good system, but course they will have to run legacy benchmarks so they can actually have comparisons on a somewhat equal footing.
