Ryzen Released....

[KD8TUT]

Well, AMD finally released their new generation x86 processor today- and it's getting a luke warm reception.

It's semi-on-par with Intel's processors, and far cheaper. Though I've been having a hard time finding a justification to upgrade my 9590 series processor which I cannot seem to max out anyway.

So I'm passing another upgrade cycle. Nothing I do in development, radio, virtualization, or any other of the nooks and crannies I get into are limited by my current setup.

Maybe I'm getting old. I'm just not excited...

Not getting excited does come with age, just ask Bob.

I'm still running an AMD Quad core, happily.

Microcenter is making a big deal about the Ryzen, or at least trying to.
Maybe if the have a cheap bare bones bundle at some point.

I was a huge AMD fan for years and years until I ran my first i3 and i5. These things are resilient and don't get NEARLY as warm.

When i started in computers, and had money to spend, i always upgraded or build a new fangled system.
The last laptop lasted 8 years, this new I 7 laptop will do fine for the next 8 years.
I invest in a new fast system, 12 GB mem, SSHD and decent video card in it, so it will still be fast enough in 8 years if the Lenovo keeps up that long.
17 inch HD screen, and it suits me fine.
