Rip i3s

All AMD now needs is something to compete against Intel's pentium series and they will be golden!

As far as I can tell for Ryzen vs Intel so far its:

i7 > R7 in gaming
R5 > i5
R3 > i3

I would put the i5 above the R5, at least for gaming.For productivity, the extra cores/threads make the R5 a better choice.

That said, and beyond gaming, Intel still has an edge over AMD with the Pentium and i3 series, and that's because they have an IGP, making them a cheaper option for business and home PCs not made for gaming.

AMD needs to launch Zen based APUs soon, but that won't happen because the next APUs in line are still based on the old Excavator (I think) architecture.



Please excuse my bad English.
