Came here to say this, the team is doing great work!
Yea Wendell did a great job. Excited to see what tip was given to Steve in his next video about this.
Never been happier with a CPU since I switched to Ryzen 4 years ago.
I’m still on my 1600x. Works fine for me on my 1080p monitor and not worrying about the best graphics.
I bought a 3700x in 2021 and after 2 years of my computer randomly powering off (and replacing my PSU, ram and GPU in that order) I replaced the CPU and found that the problem was fixed. I sent the CPU back to AMD and they confirmed it was defective and issued a replacement. I haven’t had a random poweroff since.
perhaps I am just unlucky, but I think I’ll take my chances with intel
Wait, that was your takeaway? I understand cumulative frustration is hard to reverse, but it seems pretty solid that they accepted an RMA two years after purchase, reported test results, and replaced it.
As much as I try to resist brand loyalty, I feel like that kind of support experience would probably bring me back next time.
Glad I’m not alone in that take. But I also get it, that associated frustration is hard to overcome.

We replaced our vm hosts recently with AMD ones - literally half the price with a lot more performance.
Xeon’s always led the pack for enterprise hardware, but no longer. Confidence in Intel has been dropping for a while.
If my CPU looked like that, I’d be a tad worried.
