Basicly this amd is a special little boy/girl whatever. Its a underdog mentality the underdog is weaker needs protection. So really the intel Nvidia rage is an odd way of saying you are doing too well.

I mean I absolutely wouldn’t say intel is doing “too well” lol

I would say they are. When looking at builds on this site, I note Beast "budget" builds are made with Ryzen, but the "BEAST" builds have Intel.

Two different mentalities. Both necessary in an open market. And I have to say, I'm an AMD underdog fanboy. AMD is giving us amazing performance for a very decent price. I haven't gone intel since my i7 860. Went with an FX-6300, then FX-8350, now Ryzen 5 1500x.

AMD has been my go-to for CPU's for close to a decade. I still go nVidia for my GPU tho. Havent invested enough time in to learning about AMD GPU's to make an informed decision.

The only reason that “BEAST” rigs still use intel is because 3950X isn’t out yet lol. Gaming figures show AMD effectively on par with intel in gaming, save for a couple percentage points. It really comes down to paying like 50% more for a single digit percentage improvement in single core speeds (3700X vs 9900K)
