I think the R5 1500 would be an absolute beauty @229 dollars with 6 Cores and just 65W TDP. A major threat to at least 7600k. Intel needs to overhaul their processors asap.
This is what I've been waiting for. Its finally time to retire Lynnfield for good. I hope the distributors do bring in AMD stuff at competitive prices.
Those looking for Ryzen hardware can always go to distributors facebook pages and request them to import it. In this way at the very least they will know that consumers are interested in this product.
strange marketing strategy, AMD expects people to buy n preorder just on basis of few limited screen shots n their press briefing
why there is no review out yet? NDA? but why
I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.
Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.
Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.
PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.
About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
