Why are people switching to AMD?

what's up guys days descends here and in my last video I talked about all the reasons why people steal by Intel which was a very quick way to get myself labeled as some sort of an Intel shill or of course there's the usual how much did Intel paid for this video they pay anything I didn't even have a sponsor for that video we just threw the iFixit ad in there because we liked it anyway so obviously like I said in that one there's two sides to every coin so now I'm gonna give every Intel fanboy an opportunity to call me an AMD shield today EVD is proud to announce our latest z4 90 for the wind motherboard for the latest Intel 10th gen core processors all new features including a 14 phase digital vrm power design Wi-Fi 6 4k HDMI port for onboard graphics and dual switchable BIOS make the z4 90 for the win a full-featured motherboard for your next build to see the full list of specs follow the link in the description below so today's video is going to be for the reasons why people are switching to AMD I'm talking about those loyal Intel folks that just suddenly are finding themselves building an AMD machine but they swore they would probably never ever do and the reason why that is or why people would even believe that that could be a mindset is because AMD has been so far behind on the CPU rat-race for so long that the idea of AMD actually being competitive and better than Intel in any sense of the word is just foreign to so many people now we're comparing the Rison series right Xen ones and plus Xen 2 to its predecessor which was FX and FX was such a royal flop and it's funny because FX actually succeeded yeah succeeded the highly liked and actually well revered Phenom series our Phenom - remember the 1090 that was a legendary CPU for its price performance at the time we're going all of X like 2009-2010 era and then FX just did not deliver but since then AMD has gone through a complete rearranging reorganizing like for more CEOs and now we're interim CEO was as Lisa suet I think is now full-time CEO because they realized she righted the sinking ship the equivalent of being a world of warships and literally exploding and having the ship roll over after you're dead and suddenly go come back up and then fight and win that's kind of what's happened with AMD so that in itself is what's making a lot of people really pay attention to what AMD is doing so some of the reasons why I mean again these are in no particular order just like Intel just some discussion that Phil and I've had we bring two very different I think opinions to what we would look for in a system our first on our list here is actually its flexibility and and just how friendly it is to both production and divide a different environment developments no development environments I mentioned in the last video that you or that I worked in IT for a long time a lot of things that we worked with for like virtual machines and setting up all sorts of different servers and for somebody that wants to start getting involved in that and learning by building their own home server or becoming a developer the amount of flexibility you get with just the amount of cores that are available today on AMD give you so many options see if you're if you're running an equivalently priced Intel CPU you're gonna have less cores and you get on AMD it's just the way it is right now and we've already talked in our Intel video which if you haven't watched it you should watch it prior to watching this one I guess you could watch it after this one too doesn't really matter you have to sacrifice something with Intel if you shaved the cores off to do something else so if you're running active virtual machines those cores are being allocated to the other machine running in a Windows environment so basically it's a window that looks like another instance of Windows running and that's because it's a virtual machine you're making multiple desktops out of that single CPU you're carving it up and having it do stuff you can use virtual machines for a server environment type-two now every time you shave off those cores there's less available to your actual physical box that you're working on and so with AMD if you want to start playing around with that and get used to learning setups and all that sort of stuff of course the drivers and all that and what then the software you're going to use or the way you do it's a little different on AMD but in terms of the hardware flexibility you have so many more course to play with without actually gimping your physical box that you're sitting at as the main machine running everything so there's a huge advantage there although a core clock disadvantage core count in that instance would definitely reign supreme in that particular environment and I only bring this one up because a lot of my followers a huge my followers are enthusiasts they're geeks they work in that environment where they are IT specialists they are database engineers they are developers and they use this type of scenario every single day and AMD became something that has become much more incentivising to them by switching from an extreme platform Intel like X to 99 X 99 where that's the only way you could get that amount of cores that you can get on mainstream AMD today for a heck of a lot cheaper price so we find that to be a very compelling reason why people are switching now moving on to another reason we're gonna go to a little bit more of the mainstream reasoning and that is the rise in popularity of live streaming live streaming over the last five years has become a multi-billion dollar industry in industry industry just like YouTube and what that changed for new media YouTube and live streaming they're they're not interchangeable I think in terms of necessarily their audiences or what you look for in the machine and how you would do it when you're doing YouTube you record you take the footage off this camera you bring it into a machine we ingest it and then we use our computer to render it so it's doing one task at that time if you're editing a video you're not playing a game at the same time however when you're live-streaming you're essentially doing just that you are live encoding a video feed that is being taken from whatever encoder is HTS explore some sort of software encoder you're not a hardware encoder Hardware encoder like you know the Nvidia encoder is happening at a hardware level on the GPU so if you are doing live streaming on a CPU then having more cores is going to allow you to be able to keep your game running with plenty of threads to however many world threads the game wants or however multi-threaded it is chances are you're gonna be able to live stream and have those threads on and peed you're gaming performance when it comes to the amount of fps you're able to get through your cpu throughput and then obviously with most AMD CPU is now reaching at least 4.1 4.2 gigahertz on all cores you're not going to really notice any sort of a significant performance hit in fact you probably would never even notice it although it probably will reduce a little bit just because of overhead and memory usage and all that sort of stuff the value there in terms of the amount of cores you get is absolutely dominating Intel when it comes to you know just pure core count thread count and that sort of stuff and I think right now if you take a look around and you just look at people asking for system build advice almost always does it include live streaming now because it's free you can live stream on Twitch or whatever platform wants to pop up this month and then just have at it you know it's there's no reason not to give it a shot and so I think people when they build systems now are very rarely building a super budget based system to only play a game or two I think they always want the option to live stream which is perfectly fine now of course there's other ways to do it through like capture cards and stuff like that you can do live stream on a laptop at that point because a capture card is doing all the encoding that's besides the point I think PC like nerds like us want to do it on the machine and capture cards were always intended to be capturing something like an external device like an Xbox or Playstation or whatever and ingest it on your computer the next point we're gonna move on to here is the improved Hardware quality now if you're not aware the Asus crosshair board for AMD and the ASUS Maximus board for Intel are the same tier motherboard they it's just Maximus is Intel and then crosshair is AMD there was a very huge quality of difference between the two motherboards while not a very big price difference so you would feel kind of gypped if you took the AMD board out of the box and in the same tier and some other manufactures even used the same name for the motherboard it's like I think Horace even did use the same like gaming name I think I miss I even did the gaming X whatever board and then you got the Intel board you're like wait a minute even though weight is way different here and I think the reason for that is a lot of manufacturers always knew that if the FX processors held such a low market share that they knew that the bulk of their sales were gonna be on Intel based hardware and so that's where all their quality assurance and all their best quality parts the best capacitors the multi-layer PCBs the more gold content and the traces and all that sort of stuff was specifically on the Intel boards and then they don't want to lose money on putting those components on an AMD board that they was going to very low quality of sales or quantity of sales so even with the Zen one launched that was the case fast forward now nearly five years on the Zen to launch the quality of the motherboard has greatly improved in fact it almost feels like now you get better feature sets on the handi boards then you get on the Intel boards which kind of segue to me very smoothly I might add into our next piece here which is PCIe gen for its this is probably the first time that I can think of in the eight years I've been running this channel that a new feature launched on AMD before Intel and that being obviously PCIe gen for now discussion aside on whether or not you benefit at all on graphics performance with PCIe gen 4 I can tell you right now you don't benefit at all you're not gonna get any better performance on AMD's Gen 4 then you are on Intel's Gen 3 when it comes to PCIe mostly because of the clock speed discussions we had on CPUs versus Intel named D so it's all negated but still GPUs are not fast enough to saturate that level of bandwidth but what it opens up for you is the insane insanely fast throughput of the new gen 3 or Gen 4 pcie express m2 devices and as a lot of acronyms there so you can get more than 5,000 megabytes per second read write on a PCIe gen for SSD versus what is it like 3600 I think megahertz per second or somewhere around there Phil can put it on the screen but as you get with Gen 3 now again I think a lot of people might also be like Oh Joe just like FPS you're probably never going to notice that transfer rate difference yeah tell that to someone like us who's transferring gigabytes at a time that that time adds up yeah or the people that are running 12 VMs that are having to share that storage device because that gets chopped up - there's a caveat here I got to put in asterisks it now depends on what series chipset you're running for AMD or their BX 570 be 450 be 550 there's some differences there in terms of PCI Express speed that through chipset versus through direct contact with their connection with the CPU they're going to actually investigate that yourself to see which motherboards going to give you the most PC gen4 and all that but the point is peace a gen4 exists on AMD and it's best use case like I've just said is extremely fast storage now we're gonna kind of move on to what I think here is the very last point of why people are switching and I've already mentioned this more than once and that is just the value now it's funny because that arguments been around for AMD all along but it was always well the best performance per buck for your budget and my budget and this in this instance I do mean a low budget this is a little J rant here mimimi alright people have always taken the word budget and applied it to the terminology of low budget so yeah I understand the United States has a budget that didn't the trillions did you see I just put the word budget and trillions in the same sentence a budget just means you have a finite amount of resource or money or whatever to spend and you can't go above that whether that budget be $500 or $5,000 it's still a budget somewhere along the lines people hear the word budget to automatically make that cheap they make the word cheap so AMD's performance per budget was always referred to as the low end but that's changed where now if you compare the performance you get across the board on all use cases not just gaming because the asterisks here is always gonna be if you care about game FPS only only the maximum FPS you get in games then Intel is still where you have to buy a CPU you spend your money because they're gonna give you the best FPS but Phil and I firmly believe in a Pepsi challenge and that's basically a blind taste test if we had an AMD system running at 120 FPS on this machine on the same monitor and the same graphics card over here on an Intel machine running 140 FPS you won't know the difference I know you think you can you can't yeah you I'm talking to you the one that right now this way yeah can Jay your foolish no you can't your foolish but when it comes to being like Mario of Mario Kart where you are the most rounded player on the course you're not the fastest you don't turn the best you don't jump the highest but you can do all of it really really really good that is what AMD is today and once they finally get their core clock up to that 5 gigahertz number I think we're gonna see it in like The Matrix Reloaded at this point it is gonna just absolutely kick ass when it comes to what you get for it but dollar for dollar a $500 CPU from Intel versus a $500 CPU from AMD you get better value at that $500 on AMD isn't it funny saying a $500 CPU from AMD when like just not that long ago that seemed like an astronomical figure that they could ever charge receives you because no one would ever pay it yet here we are today going wow that's a good price cuz you get so much for it and that's the reason why people are switching to AMD they have earned back that trust some of the loudest most boisterous fanboys I have ever encountered usually have a little red icon on their profile picture because they root for the underdog they don't care who's in charge or who's in the lead they will always root for the guy in last place wanting him to just destroy those people that are used to winning it's the story of Rudy AMD was the Rudy CPU if you don't know what Rudy is just go and look it up it's a Notre Dame and a football player a little guy in the store to touch it anyway whatever new young people love to see a hero lose to an underdog it's like a UFC upset we just the crowd goes wild and people love it people get energized by it and so brand loyalty which I just talked about in my Intel video being something that can be very damaging and very a very bad way of thinking I think in this case I said in that video that a brand loyal person is okay as long as they've earned that trust and earned that loyalty and have retain that loyalty you're not just being loyal to them for the sake of being loyal without any real reasoning behind it you know enter contrarian attitude here it's one of those things where md's earned it they've increased their performance as promised they've maintained stably support for the chipsets and the and the sockets as long as I said that they would they have burned your trust in taking a chance on them when they come out with new stuff and that's exactly what people have been wanting all along the only problem is now the the fanboys that were you know always rooting because they wanted the guy in last place to win they're not equally as annoying when they're win trust me but anyway guys what are your reasons for switching AMD if you had an Intel system and you were always loyal to Intel and suddenly you find yourself on an AMD rig for the first time put in the comments down below why you did that and I think it'd be interesting to see what some of those focus group discussions are down there keep them civil I know you're not gonna that's okay now here's the thing regarding where we are in the current stasis or status status stasis of CPU al-ghanim um
