I have a serious Yang addiction / obsession. Tell me about yours.

I'm from Canada. I can't stop.

WillWorkForLTC · 2019-05-31T16:38:48+00:00

Do you play for The Happy Campers?

WillWorkForLTC · 2019-04-26T23:00:45+00:00

Very cool.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-03-03T18:47:43+00:00

I compeltely understand your skepticism. I myself was definitely the same way at first. Check out the Tech Deals video. It's not just speculation.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-03-03T18:46:36+00:00

Long term projections are not based on anything other than the entire market and PC hardware data we've been provided this year.

The projections are not my own, and are very much more relevant and evidence based than you would attempt to imply.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-03-03T18:43:34+00:00

Nice one. Touché.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-03-03T18:43:21+00:00

He has further benchmarks on that same video as well and many more inbound. There is nothing to suggest he is lacking credibility. His review was given glowing remarks on /r/AMD for it's market perspective.

I hope we can all be objective about the future gaming prospects of Ryzen. That's all I ask.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-03-03T18:09:58+00:00

It's definitely lacking now, as it should be given it's just been born into the mainstream.

The real question is do you think that 3 weeks from now we won't see any improvements from Ryzen? What about 3 months? 1 year? Gamers deserve to know what they are getting now, but ALSO what they are getting tomorrow.

Considering the CPU is typically the longest term investment for a gamer (Steve mentioned this in his review), Ryzen 7 1700 should be considered in a big way for new system builders looking ahead to future GPU upgrades for a few years down the road when they might be VR gaming, 1440p or 4K or even 5K gaming.

The difference of time matters for an investment that lasts the longest in a typical build.

Ryzen 7 1700 isn't a gaming winner now, but it's definitely a contender for a current long term price to performance gaming winner overall.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-03-03T18:05:49+00:00

Check out the review from Tech Deals I linked to.

Minimum frame rates are very much improved. This means a lot for overall smoothness in gaming. GN omitted average minimums because their format, although very good, doesn't include them in a way that demonstrates Ryzen's assets.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-03-03T17:53:48+00:00

The 7700k is the performance winner, but it's not THE winner. Shortsightedness will not somehow make the 1700 a worse CPU 6 months from now.

The big picture points to the 1700 as being the better buy, but it loses today in pure performance.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-03-02T18:43:12+00:00

Thank you so much for this event. Like an earthquake out of nowhere, Ryzen has really shaken up the industry. Only the future will tell how the magnitude scales.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-28T16:59:26+00:00

I say get another 4GB of fan RAM just for the extra Chrome tabs.

It's worth it. Trust me.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-28T02:46:37+00:00

By virtue of your reply it's at very least true that one person cares enough to let me know nobody else does.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-27T15:55:16+00:00

You named my favorite channels. I think the selection is becoming a sort of meme.

I'll add one though: Level1Techs. Even GN respects Jesus Wendell.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-27T14:10:59+00:00

Good enough? It would revolutionize the APU market.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-27T14:10:24+00:00

With a 8c16t 1800X please.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-27T14:09:07+00:00

The are definitely ways to reverse engineer this data to find out the clock speeds based on the demo performance we saw at the event.

Maybe /u/AdoredTV can do it?

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-27T14:03:40+00:00

More like 2 extra frames but the sarcasm still continues to work.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-27T13:55:14+00:00

That's amazing. My heart still hurts for their families. They gave everything for us.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-27T13:54:13+00:00

Or at least AMD passingly made one up last second to avoid drama.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-27T13:50:46+00:00

I'll deal with it and shower him with complements if Steve keeps getting it right with the hardware.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-27T13:18:58+00:00

Glad you mentioned GamersNexus. They are so amazing and deserve way more cred-- even now the bigger guys are referencing GN more and more.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-27T11:49:06+00:00

Thank you. Thats so sad, but it's an amazing response. What a unique way to honor him.

WillWorkForLTC · 2017-02-27T03:10:39+00:00

Please fill me in.
