I agree that AMD processors made very good progress, but if we want to be realistic then it is worth mentioning that there is a non-negligible probability of Intel being faster throughout the majority of year 2021 (the last 3 of 4 quarters of the year) because of Rocket Lake.
Intel is, and always has been, a totally corrupt and evil corporation.
If it weren't for AMD we'd be spending $500 for a single threaded quad core processor today. If not more.

If you don't need it anytime soon, I would skip to Zen 4 on the new socket. Only problem there is that DDR5 prices could be much higher than DDR4, and Zen 2/3 chips will be cheaper. But you get a new and exciting upgrade path.
That's my plan. I was all set on upgrading my current system this year and decided to hold off another year since it still does 1080p60 for most games and there's a new socket with DDR5 right around the corner. I just can't justify buying into AM4 when it is "hitting EOL", y'all know what I mean, and a couple years of something new is about to come out.
But if I had bought into Zen 1 or Zen 2, I'd probably consider one of these until AM5/DDR5 lowers in price and let the early adopters get the early adopter kinks worked out.Last edited by skeevy420; 08 October 2020, 07:23 PM.

Then they don't have $50 to put into their fun stuff jar. My fun stuff jar is up to a whopping $140. It should be 4x that but I bought some Oberwerk 10x50 binoculars (they're awesome), some new winter clothes (necessary), and a Weissenborn that I totally suck at playing but thought it would be a good idea (not a good idea). I need to buy some different strings for it, but that's $15 from the jar that needs to get up to around $900 for me to buy the system that I want.

Wow, this is just amazing.
In less than 5 years AMD has taken us from the stagnant hegemony, and financial rape, of Intel to fantastically powerful 6C/12T CPUs for $299, 8C/16T for $449, and 16C/32T for $799.
All within 65W to 105W TDP.
I mean really, on second thought amazing doesn't cut it. It's stunning.
And anyone who has a complaint or doesn't like it is free to continue kowtowing to Intel.
I just bought an R7 3700X, and it's already more powerful than I need. But I'm getting an R7 5800X as soon as I can just to reward AMD for their fantastic work.

Intel has been ***rape:ing the entire industry for decades with their gouging price-models.
And when a competitor that _actually_ is doing an amazing job of kicking their asses... you decide to complain?
Hell no. I'll happily pay a $50 AMD tax over getting that perpetual ***rape from Intel.
Balance. Karma. Call it whatever you want.
