MOAR CORES

decompression is not that processor intensive.

Unless you RAID that shit.

This shit I guarantee is just Intel keeping their foothold on the server market and those odd programs that can utilize all the parallelism it can handle so large corporations keep buying Intel CPUs.
I doubt this was meant for your emellgee 420 noscoper twitch streamer.

170W man. 170. Fucking. Watts.

I fucking wish it was athlonxp/64 v pentium 4 holy shit

Nah, they had the Xeons series for that, as another user already said in the thread. Which is why I created this thread.

The Intels will cost 50% more, be 5% faster in single thread, with 30% less cores. And the tech sites will all tell you to buy Intel because of some dumbass reason, like more PCIe lanes.

Ryzen is a more efficient CPU. Expect all these tech sites who spent the last 5 years telling you AMD sucks because it's not as efficient as Intel that efficiency no longer matters and you should buy Intel.

I am glad we are heading into a core war age. If it wasn't for Ryzen, Intel would still be selling us $300 quad core CPUs with hyperthreading 10 years from now.

ful throttul

Literally why
Why the fuck a consumer be glad about this waste of resources?

Perhaps this is a marketing move? The average normalfag is too retarded to understand any of this and probably thinks "the more cores it has the better it is!"
