That reminds me of JayzTwoCents… When GTX 970 came out and was slightly behind 390 back in the day, we all know how that turned out in the long run, well Jay then predicted, that AMD will not release 500 series GPUs. He said 400 will be faster than 900 Nvidia, but when 1000 comes out it will destroy AMD and they will go bankrupt. This is why he doesn’t recommend anyone buying AMD. Cause in 2-3 years they will go bankrupt and the 300 series will stay with no support from anywhere.
I don’t really remember… I believe the 300 series just came out or was about to come out or something like that.
He made it live on an episode of TechTalk with Barnacules.
If AMD does go bankrupt it is because of poor marketing, poor products in the past, and the monopoly nvidia and intel hold over them. Anti competitive practices from intel and the like.
Doesnt help that even when amd do have competitive products that key influencers push people to intel / nvidia
There is a bit in that vid when he talks about reviewers constantly recommending the i5 7600 over the 1600 for ‘no compromise gaming’ and futureproofing due to its better scores on the 720p tests.
…but updated benchmarks and focusing on modern games show ryzen ahead
Yep, most reviewers are just another branch of Intel’s (as well as Nvidia’s) marketing departments. People want to find out what’s best for their needs, they have to do research. And even if they don’t want to read articles, they would still have to research YouTubers and find out if they’re not in the competition’s back pocket.
Aw man, homework?
No one wants to do that shit. People want their information spoonfed to them, no matter how frivolous and trivial it is in the grand scheme of things.
I installed the 3203 on my Prime X370 Pro… and my wifi card compatibility went bad and kept the system from POSTing at all. Also it will not let me roll back to 1201 or any previous version.
Otherwise system works fine. Just beware, maybe wait for another revision or two for those reading this.
This reminds me of the old Phenom 2 days, when people bought the triple core (remember those?) Phenom II 720? Some people bought it, because they wanted to unlock the 4-th core…
Aaaand then they had to use the triple core 720 instead of the quad core 920 or 940 or whatever it was…
Not to mention some people bought dual core phenoms for the same exact reason and was left with dual cores…
