AMD Discussion

I'm in love with my Ryzen 5 1600X. I would buy a Mac in a heartbeat with this processor. This has become my primary rig. My i7 6700K rig just sits idle now.

There must be something wrong with the amazon.com best seller lists. How is it possible that the Ryzen 1600 is not showing up in the top 100?
 
The 1920X finally dropped out of the amazon.com top 100. I never liked the pricing.

Agreed with the pricing of the 1920x. It was priced about $150 too high. 8 cores for $550, 12 cores for $800, 16 cores for $1,000... The 1920x should be been priced at $700, and the 1900x should be priced at $500.
 
Q3 sales will be extremely strong for AMD.

Ryzen market share is higher in Q3 than Intel, and Threadripper is outselling 3:1 every Intel CPU in HEDT space.

Also EPYC sales are just out of this world. One quarter, and AMD gained 35% server market.

We may see AMD getting into profitability for first time in a very, very long time.
 
Hoping the popularity of AMD continues, and more consumer desktop and laptop machines start offering AMD chips to push the revenue even higher. AMD has to keep the pressure on Intel.

And everything I've heard, Threadripper completely caught Intel off guard. :D
 
Well, this video is telling me to just replace my 1090T with an FX 8-core and wait another year for Zen+:

 
There are no X399 motherboards on the amazon.com top 100.

Lack of less expensive models (and CPUs).
 
I assembled my PC few months ago and should be cheap, but after returns and few part replacement by Amazon I noticed my budget was over £2K

:rolleyes:
 
Again the top selling AMD motherboard at amazon.com is AM3+.

Maybe not surprising when it is relatively cheap and you can get a quad core Phenom II for $20 or an FX for $35 on ebay.

Who's buying this cheap ? company's without money ?
 
Well, now somebody is buying Phenom II X2 for around $13 there which would be the AM3+ entry point.
