AMD our processor is for more than for just Desktops

Last week Intel made some accusations saying that AMD's new enterprise offering was just multiple desktop processors stuck together with magic glue. Well AMD has a response.

EPYC actually has four dice, not one.

I just saw something in this video that reminded me of something. TechSpot did a 30-game showdown between the two dominant desktop architectures today, Ryzen and Kabylake. They threw in three CPUs, AMD's R5-1600 (X370) vs. Intel's i7-7700 (Z270) and i7-7800X (X299) all using ASRock Taichi motherboards. It turns out that with all the BIOS revisions and game optimisations, Ryzen actually has SUPERIOR GAMING IPC when compared to Kabylake. As LeVar Burton used to say "But, you don't have to take MY word for it!" so here's the full article. Remember, these CPUs were tested over THIRTY games so we know that there was no cherry-picking involved:

If your talking multi core processors ... lm talking 16 cores having 7-10 higher ipc and their Intel 12 core base clock is 2.9 ghz....that's a serious drop from their 10 core ...by the time they get to their "18" core that fell out of the sky we are looking at 1.8-2.1 ghz base but higher ipc..

Armand's, not everybody can afford to build new PCs all the time. If it were not for the antitrust tactics of Intel, AMD would have been offering us better performance for a better price. I ask you to watch a video by adoredTV called: Intel history of a monopoly.

You say you're a guy that likes a lot of power. Power comes with excess price excess heat and excess cost of electricity. Gamers wins games not a few extra fps From a GPU or CPU. Competition makes that work for all Not just a chosen few.
