I haven't visited here in a while. I noticed some posts about a segfault (?) when using Ryzen hardware.
Is CL a better option in Linux or does it matter?
I'm looking at a future budget build....probably not overclocking. I was thinking either i3-8100 or i5-8400 vs R3 1200 or R5 1600. AMD has the nod with respect to motherboard choices (B350) but I am willing to buy the cpu and wait for Jan/Feb for the mobo.
I don't want to decide based on what is best for gaming and that's all the reviews and benchmarks concentrate on. I'm trying to find comparisons of power consumption and temperatures to no avail. I know you can OC Ryzen and it's competitive or eclipses CL on multiple threads and for productivity software tests but I dunno if I'd OC. It's not a priority. But, I would probably upgrade to the 'top' cpu long after people have moved to the next generation. I'm not worried about 'future-proofing' or whether a socket will take the next gen mobo although it's a nice feature or bonus (no one knows for sure about Ryzen).
Therefore, I don't find the various (Windows-based) forums to be much help when they say go for CL/Ryzen based on... :-)
Perhaps, the issues in Ryzen and the issues with RAM/Memory have been ironed out?
If so, which do you recommend and why? I plan on getting a cpu between $100 - $200-ish (the most I'll go is $230 which gets the i5-8400 or R5-1600 in Canada) and probably upgrade to the top cpu in that path, eventually, but that's long-term. Just going for a budget build now.
Is there an advantage for CL in Linux over Ryzen now or is that just a perception?
