AMD has the price for performance that is unbeatable

I know its been a while since I’ve updated, but I had to jump on to talk about how AMD is transforming the budget PC arena. I wont go much into it now but the AM4 slot for AMD processors has been a game changer. In the AM4 slot has been the very successful Ryzen line of processors. The slot has the basis for selling the hot budget friendly yet beastly 2600x 6 core 12 thread all the way to the beastly Ryzen 9 16 core 32 thread monster. All of this meaning that you could pay a hair over a hundred bucks to get started in the budget gaming spectrum and down the road when you can afford it buy the 3900x then jam it down into the same slot so that you don’t have to rip everything out and start over. Using the same slot for this grand line of processors is just a single point in many. The Ryzen line has been making waves for its price for performance breakthroughs. I recently picked up on Black Friday the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 for 89 dollars. This budget build CPU storms in at 6 cores 12 threads, 3.2 Ghz with a turbo boost of 3.6 Ghz. It doesn’t have the vega graphics like some of the other variants but if you have a discrete GPU lying around then it is a super cheap buy for that budget pc build you are throwing together as a media rig, 1080p gaming or encoding. I purchased the Ryzen 5 to start a build to replace the aging Fm2+ cpu that I use in my day to day den blogging. These processors really are pushing Intel to have to do something as their prices and capabilities are threatened if AMD keeps this up.
