Amd Ryzen 7 Vs Intel I5

This processor is a great upgrade from my older intel i5 6600k. It's about on par with the Ryzen 5800x 3D in gaming performance and beats it in productivity. I got this for 230 dollars during Black Friday weekend and am very satisfied with the purchase.

Im a long time die hard Intel fan. And for many years, that was easy to do, since Intel was so far ahead of AMD in terms of performance. Not so anymore. I have a lot of PC gamer friends who made the switch to AMD, but I held out for a long time. Upgraded from an i5-8400 to an i5-9600k, hoping it would get rid of my lag, and give me more performance. Not the case. After making the switch to this processor, my days of lagging are gone. Even everyday performance is better. Unzipping files, multitasking, and photo editing all increased in performance.

Exactly what I expected, the intel I5 is the perfect amount of power once overclocked. Using this until AMD's cpus are launched.

Good reliable memory for AMD Ryzen systems.

In my opinion, you can't beat AMD processors for the money!!! AMD RYZEN for LIFE!!!!!

Better speeds than my AMD Ryzen 3900x, at a greta price.

AMD has ways been my go-to because of price... I have only ever built 1 Intel system and it was awesome but EXTREMELY expensive compared to my AMD builds.... It's performance was decently better, but didn't really justify the cost (IMHO). The release of RYZEN CPUs (all generations) have been spectacular. This CPU, in general, is phenomenal. I'm coming from a 6th gen i7 and the difference is night and day. I did OC a little bit, but went back to stock because F@H didn't like it. I can run F@H on full, play COD:Warzone on one display and RDP into my work rig on the other (RX 5700xt) without a hiccup. AMD has really made a huge improvement and even with newer chipset drivers, I've seen greater performance. If you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with this guy... But.... The 10th gen it's are phenomenal as well and, now, comparatively priced. I recommend this CPU for budget workstation/mid-ranged gaming rig since the boards are significantly cheaper than on the Intel platform. AMD still has a long way to go, but they've made a huge step in the right direction and finally have a competitive stance against Intel.

Used two of these on a Dell 7010 i5-3470 with the built-in Intel 2500 graphics, together with the built-in VGA port, to run THREE VGA monitors simultaneously under Windows 10 . Need to disable the Dell driver and then get the driver from Intel as Dell disable 3-screen functionality. I was a little sceptical at first whether these would do the job, as many 'active' adapters are a lot more expensive. An added bonis is that these don't need a separate USB port for power.

I got this MacBook as an upgrade to my MacBook Air with intel i5 and butterfly keyboard. It is a night and day difference. This fixes everything that was wrong with my old laptop and should last me another four years at least.

I install this at a new custom build PC with Intel i5 13th Generation mounted inside an Asus TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D4 with 32MB Memory and at normal settings ( no over clocking) the Drive reads 6778 MBs and Writes 3748 MBs
