    Let me ask you this. What's the machine being used for?

     

    Exactly. Most gamers I know have made the switch.  I was able to afford a better gpu by going ryzen too. Ymmv.

     

    Basic home stuff. General sufing. Music and videos. No gaming.

    The AMD has 12GB of system memory

     

    The Intel has 8GB of system memory.  But wait, there's more!  The Intel also has 16GB Optane Memory, which is like a bridge between memory and your hard drive.  Optane is a very high speed flash drive that the system mirrors important and frequently used files from the main drive, so that when you're booting up the computer or running applications it is accessing the high speed Optane drive rather than the slow traditional hard drive

     

    Joe in Winslow seems to like the AMD...

    Price to performance. Have you done a cost comparison? Number of cores/memory per dollar.

     

    Just looking for performance between the two I listed. Price isnt that much of a difference.

     

    The confusing part is one has a higher processor speed and the other one RAM/cache.

     

  4. Looking for speed. Quickness. Not slowly loading web pages etc.

     

    You could always add RAM yes ?

    Ryzen, all day and twice on sundays.

     

    From a price/performance perspective, AMD is cleaning the floor with Intel.

     

     

    How on performance ? Processing speed ?

    i5

     

    until about a month ago I would have told you that an Intel chip would always outperform the same generation AMD chip.  But AMD just released new Ryzen 3700x and 3900x chip that closed the gap with the i9.  I"ve been trying to get my hands on a 3900x but they're always sold out.  At this rate I may end up just waiting until the 3950x comes out in September (16 core 32 thread gaming goodness :w00t:

     

    Thanks for your input !

     

    You can go back and forth with all the specs.

     

    The I5 seems to have a faster processor speed but the AMD has more RAM
