Re: What's the Deal With AMD

Re: What's the Deal With AMD @6True, but the bugs exposed greater levels of vulnerability in Intel chipset's than AMD, or at least the ones in AMD were easier fixes than they were in Intel chips. Either way, performance hit Intel chips harder than AMD, which seemed to have a bit better

Re: What's the Deal With AMD

Re: What's the Deal With AMD Hi,This is not a good comparason for several reasons. First, prior to 2019 or so, AMD processors were somewhat inferior to intel. If you had gotten a ryzen series, you would find it ran alot quieter and cooler compared to that intel, which is stuck on 6 year

Re: What's the Deal With AMD

Re: What's the Deal With AMD Hmm. I used to hear a lot of things, some saying AMD was great, others saying Intel is the way to go for audio production. I finally got to draw my own tentative conclusion; Intel has an edge. Not saying that will hold for everyone, but here's my story:In 2016

Re: What's the Deal With AMD

Re: What's the Deal With AMD Alot of those exploits  don't work on AMD machines, for instance the meltdown one. Spectre does work, but newer AMD processors are immune hardware wise to all but spectre. And all the microarcetechtural data sampling vulnerabilities were also Intel specific

Re: What's the Deal With AMD

Re: What's the Deal With AMD @5Last I checked, those attacks worked fine against AMD, or at least some AMD specific variants did.  It works against almost any processor with speculative execution. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/583695/#p583695 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing

Re: What's the Deal With AMD

Re: What's the Deal With AMD There's also the whole Spectre and Meltdown speculative computing exploits that Intel chips were exposed too, AMD just happened to be working on a different architecture that made them less susceptible to it. The patch in turn hit Intel performance a bit giving

Re: What's the Deal With AMD

Re: What's the Deal With AMD Because as of now, they're kicking ass. Lisa Su took a sinking ship full of holes and listing terribly to one side and patched them all, bringing it not only back to the surface, not only operational, but kicking ass. I used to say I'd never use AMD, but now

Re: What's the Deal With AMD

Re: What's the Deal With AMD AMD is outcompeting Intel on most metrics.  Whether that can last, I don't know.  My guess is that AMD doesn't have tech debt that Intel does, or maybe just threw their hands up and said let's design everything from scratch.  We'll never know how

Re: What's the Deal With AMD

Re: What's the Deal With AMD Several reasons. AMD are using a 7 nanometer manufacturing process, which increases transistor density, makes them heat up less, and makes them much more power efficient. Intel hasn't make substantial improvements in its processor technology since 2014, and has

What's the Deal With AMD

What's the Deal With AMD So I've seen recently that AMD CPUs have been gaining traction in this community, why is this? I'm currently using an Intel 8 7550U, what's the AMD equivalent, and what should I use in the future? URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/583643/#p583643
