It is really a self-defeating argument I think, especially if you place it due to AMD loyalty (I'm not saying that guy is doing it due to that, but a lot of others do).



If you're not familiar with this guy, he almost exclusively produces videos that are pro AMD and anti NVidia/Intel. That doesn't mean he does or does not have good points, but his history is pretty clear.

Yeah, the first 1800X cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The next ones off the line were much cheaper. They absolutely bin, I'm pretty surprised someone is surprised by this.

Any benchmarks up comparing the R5 to an i7 7700k? It looks like the R5 blows the i5 out of the water overall, but I live near a Microcenter so the total cost between an R5 and an i7 setup is like $40.

I feel like a lot of reviews avoid comparing AMDs CPUs to the 7700 in both R7 and R5, which seems like a real sweet spot for an 8T CPU in terms of value. Frustrating.

PC perspective.

TR's review has a 7700k in it, but they're only done with part 1 (videogames) so far.

Thanks!
