AMD wipes the floor (again) with Intel

[Rogen 1,087]

Woohoo, new PC build time is coming (end of year) and a new AMD Ryzen, motherboard with PCI 4 and NVidia 3000 series GFX sound like just what I want for Christmas 🙂

Intel will still do well on gaming PCs.

Intel still going strong.

Once MSFS is out and the dust settles a bit, I will build a new PC.  I've had Intel's for a long time but the AMD's are beckoning.  Is there any logic to assuming that, since the new X-Box will have AMD components that the new sim will be optimized for those as well?

I don’t think so - at least not specifically for AMD. A report at the end of 2019 (https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/news/amd-vs-intel-cpu-market-share-q4-2019-epyc-and-ryzen-growth-decelerate-mobile-ryzen-up) put AMD’s share of the desktop market at just 18%. I can’t see how MS would ignore the 82% using Intel. Ryzen are certainly becoming more popular but still have a very long way to go to match Intel’s sales for desktops.

Good point - thanks!

Check out the 10th gen review I posted the Asus Z490 MB`s with ram/cash software for streaming to help with games low latency, what game may benefit from that, the guy from Intel gave some facts about the new 10th gen and the guy from Asus saying that now you can turn HT on or off per cores instead of all cores.
