Not saying you are, just saying that your opinions look like they too have jumped to what fits your needs.
To be honest, even I am fed up of reading the repetitive arguments here which are not really going away. At the end of the day, Intel will be faster (in most cases) on a clock for clock basis, can clock higher, and are way more expensive. I doubt that is going to change for the next 9 months.
If someone wants to buy an 8700K or any other Coffee Lake chip, and find out how it is for themselves, then good on them, at least they will have first hand experience of the platform, for its benefits and its drawbacks. The same applies to people who may want to grab an AMD solution to compare.
People bang on about one being better than the other, but they both have benefits, and they both have drawbacks. Neither of them is a catch all solution, for everyone, and for once people actually need to make a choice, which is refreshing.
It happens on both sides it's just that AMD have had little to shout about for the last 10 years. Those that prefer Intel have just forgotten that.
They have. Once i accepted ryzen wasn't going to get any better. I fell into the hype of ryzen and have enough of waiting for fine wine.
I've gave it a fair go, best board, best ram and the performance is hit and miss. In some games it's an i3 and others it's a haswell i7.
You could say i have buyers remorse.
At least intel is consistent. Yes it's priced higher but i know it'll be top of the chain in games and not rely on devs to optimise.
Now can we get back onto the actual CPU this thread is about?
@Journey that MSI Z370 Godlike Gaming resembles the X370 Titanium, both memeboards and waaaaay overpriced for what they offer
Hopefully this time they put something other than NIKOS budget mosfets on that £400 board.
So you brought the wrong cpu for your needs. You could have waited but you jumped on it early, fair enough and commendable but ultimately your fault. You should have waited for coffee lake or zen 2.They have. Once i accepted ryzen wasn't going to get any better. I fell into the hype of ryzen and have enough of waiting for fine wine.
