Yeah, I’d love to support AMD but I’m afraid the claims just don’t seem valid in a working environment (or at least as far as 2020 Design is concerned). About 4 or 5 years back, I watched an i5 Surface Pro absolutely thrash a top of the range (for the time) AMD Tower which had been overclocked! The Surface Pro rendered a scene in less than half the time. I can’t remember the specs of the AMD system but I know it was touted as ‘state of the art’ and cost it’s owner quite a lot more than the Surface Pro.
This was doubly surprising in that as far as I remember, the Surface Pro used the integrated Intel graphics and the AMD had a separate high spec Radeon card.
If money was no object, I’d love to build a 56 core dual Xeon Desktop to see how good it would be. Maybe if I did the lottery…
