AMD fans be like:
FANcy
Looks more like Fan-A, Fan-B and Fan-C to me.
Just got this card as an upgrade to my 5700xt. It is so good, and REALLY pretty.
Hey, I also have 5700xt. What card is this? And how much of an upgrade is it?
Sapphire 7900xtx Nitro+, and 3x performance boost PLUS far more stable frametimes at the same framerates
you know, im kinda a pc fan myself…
Ryzen gang
My 7800x3d is incredible, I won’t be going back to Intel any time soon.

To put this into context, the zen5 X3D chips aren’t out yet so this isn’t really an apples to apples comparison between generations. Also, zen5 was heavily optimized for efficiency rather than speed - they’re only like 5% faster than zen4 (X series, not X3D ofc) last I saw but they do that at the zen3 TDPs, which is crazy impressive. I’m not disagreeing with you about the 7800X3D - I love that chip, it’s def a good one - just don’t want people to get the wrong idea about zen5.
I’m still staying with my 5950X. So many cores!
Not sure how much longer I’ll be using the 5950x tbh. We’ve reached a point where the mobile processors have faster multicore (for the AI 370) than the 5950X without gulping down boatloads of power.
Also on the 7800X3D. I think I switched at just the right time. I’ve been on Intel since the Athlon XP. The next buy would have been 13/14th gen.
Me who bought AMD cpu and gpu last year for my new rig cause fuck the massive mark up for marginal improvement on last gen stats.
tldr: Flaw can give a hacker access to your computer only if they have already bypassed most of the computer’s security.
This means continue not going to sketchy sites.
Continue not downloading that obviously malicious attachment.
Continue not being a dumbass.
Proceed as normal.
Because if a hacker got that deep your system is already fucked.
It’s more serious than normal because if your PC ever gets owned, a wipe and reinstall will not remove the exploit.
“Nissim sums up that worst-case scenario in more practical terms: “You basically have to throw your computer away.””
Okay, so what gets permanently “owned?” The BIOS on the motherboard, the CPU? is the GPU also hosed?
The CPU is hosed. I assume the throw away is in reference to laptops or mini PCs where the CPU isn’t socketed.
Yeah the Intel issue is definitely a bigger problem. Imo.
I agree.
I’m not that worried about it effecting me lol, i would be more concerned about my intel cpu dying, especially since it’s been around for decades.
So glad I went full AMD for my latest build.
Also glad to picked the AMD version when ordering a new laptop yesterday.
is still on the atom n270
im a fan of no corporation especially not fucking amd, but they have been so much better than intel recently that im struggling to understand why anyone still buys intel
Of all the CPU and GPU manufacturers out there, AMD is the most consistently pro-consumer with the least corporate fuckery, so I take mighty exception at your ‘especially not fucking amd’ comment.
Most of the shopping I’ve been helping people with lately has been for laptops. And while there are slightly more AMD options then before laptops are still dominated by Intel for the most part. Especially if you’re trying to help someone pick something while on a tighter budget.
thats fair if u are looking for the cheapest laptops basically nothing is amd, also i bet most people dont know what those powered by x stickers even mean nor care and honestly why should they. i didnt consider that, i was more thinking about people making their own pcs but it is also wierd that laptop manufacturers and oems prefer intel so much maybe efficiency is the biggest factor i know amds cpus tend to be more power hungry
Researchers discover potentially catastrophic exploit present in AMD chips for decades
They’re both very flawed
Despite being potentially catastrophic, this issue is unlikely to impact regular people.
Doesn’t seem very similar to me.
Sounds like some precious and sweet intelboi feels bad holding the bag…
What’s so bad about AMD? They seem a lot better than Intel imo.
They are bad at writing software and firmware support is sketchy. That second point is technically the motherboard vendors fault but it could be due to confusing design and documentation on the AMD side. Hardware-wise they are great AFAIK.
Amd has always run really lean in terms of employees which hurts their quality imo. In 2016 (a year before ryzen 1 came out amds lowest point quality wise) intel had ~100k employees, at the same time amd had a little over 8000 and supported a wider portfolio of products, today amd is up to about 30k and it shows (although until last week intel was also up to 130k)
Don’t be a fan of one or the other, just get what’s more appropriate at the time of buying.
Intel has not halted sales or clawed back any inventory. It will not do a recall, period. The company is not currently commenting on whether or how it might extend its warranty.
They may be greedy but they are not stupid. Clearly they calculated that by just ignoring the issue and eating the lawsuits, they save money compared to trying to make an actual solution (whatever that would even look like in the first place)
Gotta love fucking over the consumer twice! They’re gonna get, what, $5 out of a class action? $5 and a burned out cpu, yay!
Is the issue the heat created by these high voltages? I noticed pretty quickly the 13600k was a lot hotter than I anticipated and slapped a much beefier cooler on it to bring that down.
I switched to AMD largely for better battery performance, but this mades me feel like I dodged a bullet.
Just out of curiosity, when you say better battery performance, what kind of battery are we talking about? Is this in a laptop, a desktop on some sort of remote/ backup system?
Laptop.
I see, so is it a known thing that AMD CPU laptops generally have better battery life? I always see arguments for one CPU/GPU over another because of better power consumption, but I’ve never been in a position where I needed to worry much about it, so I’ve never looked much into the claims.
Seemed that way when I was shopping last, but that was over a year ago so I can’t cite sources. Supposedly their low mode uses less power and runs faster than Intel’s. I can’t confirm the faster part but it definitely lasts longer on battery power than any of the Intel laptops I’ve owned.
I see, thanks for the info
AMD CPUs indeed have better efficiency when it comes to energy used, or so I always hear.
Glad my first self-built PC is full AMD (built about a year ago).
Screw Intel and Nvidia
7700X is what it was built with
This. Full AMD on my last build as well.
I don’t care about any corp, I was looking at best bang for buck at the time. I was shocked how everyone I knew was like you should get this intel or that Nvidia, and when I asked why not <comparable performance AMD at 2/3 the price>, all I was getting back was marketing blabber.
How many times are you going to post the same, unrelated link ??
Id rather exploit than hardware failure
I thought the point would be a depressed and self deprecating “I’m something of an Intel CPU myself”.

Amd 5700u and fx8150 still going strong
I loved my FX cpu but I lived in a desert and the heat in the summer coming off that thing would make my room 100F or more. First machine I built a custom water loop for. Didn’t help with the heat in the room, but did stop it from shutting down randomly, so I could continue to sit in the sweltering heat in my underpants and play video games until dawn. Better times.
You might want to go through the trouble of extending that radiator loop all the way out through a window.
Trust me, if the parents would have let me punch some holes through the walls to get rid of some heat, I would have.
I had the FX8350 Black Edition, and that thing would keep my room at 70f… In the winter… With a window open.
Summer gaming was BSOD city. I miss it so much.
Of course it didn’t help the heat in the room, the heat from the CPU still has to go somewhere. Better coolers aren’t for the room, they’re for the CPU. in fact a better cooler could make the room hotter because it is removing heat at a higher rate from the CPU and dumping it into the room
You’re an AMD fan? Will you admit AMD is having just about the same exact problem?
Researchers discover potentially catastrophic exploit present in AMD chips for decades
Just goes to show fanboying for a company is bad for the industry and for yourself.
I’m not up to speed on the discovery you linked. It appears to be a vulnerability that can’t be exploited remotely? If so, how is this the same as Intel chips causing widespread system instability?
This isn’t the first time such a vulnerability has been found, have you forgotten spectre/meltdown? Though this is arguably not nearly as impactful as those because it requires physical access to the machine.
Your fervour in trying to paint this as an equivalent problem to Intel’s 13th and 14th gen defects, and implication that everyone else are being fanboys, is just telling on yourself mate. Normal people don’t go to bat like that for massive corpos, only Kool aid drinkers.
not gonna lie u look a lot like a fanboy urself idk ur just giving off “my beloved intel looks so bad here that i can directly say its better so ill just both sides with some dumb thing” energy
Buddy, Intel ain’t a woman and even if they were they’d never fellate you.
You should work for userbenchmark, if you’re not already. You got what it takes, kid
I wanna switch to amd some day
bro think he amd gpu
Can we talk about how utterly useless that default could cooler is? Like for relatively high end gaming CPU it really shouldn’t be legal for it to ship with something so useless.
Thank God i haven’t bought one with this. I was about to buy one.
