As per the Rise of AMD back in the 80’s, It had fallen to very low extents as competitor Intel had surpassed them by many means in terms of no. of cores, Processor speed etc. But during its time, AMD came up and introduced the “Ryzen” Series on December 10, 2016. This was phenomenal as the Intel “i” series was going to get possibly replaced. Till today, Ryzen Series have replaced intel in many sectors variably in Price. As for an Overclocked AMD processor such as the Ryzen 2700X superclocked, it is just only enough for a Intel I5 6-7th gen. Such DIfferentiation in pricing has led to the increase and rise of AMD. But there are few questions raised when thoughts of buying an Ryzen Processor in your Nearby store. The main reason AMD had kept their Processor cheaper was they had condemned with not every motherboard supporting their processor. That means investing $50+ on an extra motherboard so people can use the Processor than your Old Intel Motherboard with a LGA 775/1155 socket. This meant that Investing equal amount of a motherboard on a 250$+ Ryzen 3rd gen Processor. But still, an efficient motherboard was enough for an AMD processor(Mostly From ASUS) Which could handle pretty easily. Plus, a Motherboard upgrade in a PC is not so bad either.
As per the considerationM AMD has got some fame since its demise in the 80’s to a perfect inside budget processor for optimal and perfect gaming.
