Sorry, but Baidu was one of the companies in which my friend worked :)

Yet Baidu are using Ryzen based products as a launch customer,so apparently "the bugs" are not a problem. MS,Baidu,Sony,Airbus,Boeing,etc all use AMD CPU or GPU products,and AMD has a long history in embedded too(if you actually looked at their history) and not a single one of these companies seem worried about AMD if the products have the characteristics which are correct for them.

So,in the end for consumer PCs,I see little or no real need to panic over errors,especially when you are running consumer Windows(of all OSes) since all the recent consumer CPUs from both,will have bugs anyway. For ultra critical military and space stuff,companies are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY behind the curve and will not be using the latest Intel,AMD,IBM,etc chip anyway as user testing will expose new errors.

That is why almost all space and military stuff uses somewhat older CPUs,since they have extensive errata lists. A prime example is the F22,which was still using Intel i960MX CPUs from the mid 80s,and by the time it entered production in 2000/2001 they stopped making it 4 years before that,so they had to find another alternative.

Also considering how many people play buggy kickstarter and early access games which are essentially alphas,it shows you that for gaming people sufficiently don't seem to care enough to pay for stable games.

If you are going to be worried about errors for gaming which the OP is about,if more and more people are willing to pay good money for buggy games due to incomplete development,there is little AMD,Intel or Nvidia can do about that.

Microsoft, for its Azure services, intends “to be the first global cloud provider to deliver AMD Epyc, and its combination of high performance and value, to customers by the end of the year,” said Girish Bablani, Microsoft corporate vice president, Azure Compute.

Baidu said it plans to use the AMD server chips for search, artificial intelligence applications and the cloud.

“Choice is only important if we are able to get the performance we need for our workloads,” Liu Chao, senior director of the company’s system technologies department, said in a statement. “With AMD and their new Epyc processor, we are confident that innovation in the server market will accelerate.”

It appears that either you or the article writers have better access to the internal data than my friend does :)

hi all im thinking of changing my build to a kabylake system and going to windows 10 64bit .
I mainly play games such as witcher3 ,elder scrolls online ,overwatch, dialo3 etc. is this setup a good one that im looking at. my monitor is a dell s2716dg . look forward to peoples comments .

A few things I have a Xeon E3 1230 V2/Core i7 3770 and a GTX1080 and have no issues getting 60FPS in W3 at qHD with most settings turned up,Overwatch is usually over 100FPS at qHD with all settings turned up,with one map sometimes it can go down to 80FPS ~90FPS for short periods,and Diablo 3 does not need a GTX1080 and slowdowns tend to be more due to the server at times.

W3 and Overwatch do scale reasonable well with more threads,and D3 any of the newish CPUs from AMD and Intel will be fine IMHO. However,ESO,I am not so sure about but I suspect the Core i7 7700K will be better.

Also if you can wait a few months,Coffee Lake might also be worth a gander at too.

he must be very silly, probably made decision based on ocuk forum, not his actual engineers and data he had available

I don't think so. He only stated that they started using Ryzen, without mentioning the percentage of AMD CPUs deployed inside. There isn't even sufficient data of bugs available to him yet.
