Most programms are optimized for Intel CPUs, which costs AMD some performance in many applications. But in cases that they are also optimized for Ryzen, they can keep up pretty well with Intel's armada of chips, though the lower clock speeds are holding them back a bit in games However, Ryzen made having more than 4 Threads affordable to everyone, so on the long run, the 4c/4t Core i5 will be fighting a losing battle against AMDs Ryzen 5, while Ryzen 7 made 8 cores (16 threads) affordable to more than just a few at prices comparable to an Intel Core i7 7700K Long story short: Ryzen has less clock and slightly less performance than Intel's chips, but offer more cores, more threads and much cheaper prices than their Intel counterparts; with the additional cores also making them more future-proof |
Nice! I'm happy with my i5-6600k though so no point switching yet
