If you can wait a few months though, all bets are off.

If you need to build a gaming rig today, go Kaby Lake if you're building a workstation, go Ryzen - knowing you can game on it too. You can game properly with it though, and it more than likely will get faster with time. A pixel is the most basic unit of a digital imagea tiny dot of colorand resolution is the number of pixel columns and pixel rows in an image or on your display. What can be understood from this article is that, CURRENTLY, AMD's Ryzen isn't the best gamer CPU out there as games aren't geared towards it yet. And if Deus Ex and Shadow of Mordor are any indication, Ryzen can indeed kick Kaby Lake in the butt when properly used. So to me, a grounds up brand new CPU architecture (something Intel hasn't done in more than 5 years) that works reliably out of the box and can beat the established champion in several benchmarks and real-world tasks for half the price is a GREAT accomplishment. We're talking SERVERS here, people! the kind of machine that runs 24/7 and thus working power management means real MONEY! And if the situation under Linux is any indication, even Intel isn't exempt - they had to rewrite a whole new power management scheme to make use of Sandy Bridge, and even then you may end up with a frozen system now and again if you don't disable power management. To be expected - most current games are developed to make use of 4 threads on Intel CPUs, no more no less, once compiled on PC.Īs for "it should have been finalized before release", yeah right - even consoles need firmware updates once out to fix non-optimal settings.
