Good job AMD.

Haha, Linus still shilling for USB-C after all these years. And I STILL only have USB-C to USB-A cables for power delivery on my phone and 2 other devices. Still haven't found a use for USB-C to USB-C.

Linus mocking a R5 1500x
Me with my R5 1400: 😭

Yea intel grate cpu prices, just gotta buy a 300 dollar motherboard tro fucking upgrade

Pre-Zen if you had Intel you could sit on that one cpu and be faster than consecutive AMD chips that followed. Zen and Zen+ weren't gaming kings like Intel 4C/4T CPU's were. Most people do a platform upgrade every 3 years – minimum, making long lasting sockets next to useless. Intel historically improves their chipsets far more often and for better reasons than AMD, so those are good reasons to build a new system…. if you really need it, but you are the minority. GPU matters more than CPU for games, and AMD doesn't have the better GPUs. Zen 2 was good, Zen 3 is great, but that's only 2 chips that were ever really worth buying, unless for productivity apps, which again is the minority for desktop class chips. You wouldn't pay $500 for Zen or Zen+ when getting beat by Intel quad cores.

Socket 1700 will support RPL. This is not news. AMD when asked wouldn't/couldn't give a set number of years their next socket will support. So yea. Stop asking for 3+ year sockets. Intel and AMD would rather keep the cycles short so they can sell the products they are spending R&D on. You know… typical business stuff.

Stop acting like spoiled brats ffs! 🤣
Shop smarter!

Linus got some lag there at 8:20

I wish AMD kept the same promices about their "unlocked" 5900hx, and didn't straight up scam buyers instead

it bothers me that because of the way the footage was cut you see 6 % when linus starts speaking and then 1 % when the camera goes on to him timestamp is 7:06.

Reduced e-waste is one of the biggest reasons why I love long-term socket support. I like to reuse all my old hardware (even just to build an attractive toaster for a family member), and examples like this make it possible 👍🏽

Honestly. The biggest reason why I always recommend AMD to new PC builders, is because of the compatibility. Not only is it financially a great idea, but the amount of E-Waste generated from having to switch your mobo every two generations must be insane.

I am not a computer hardware specialist, but is it really THAT hard to provide at least some backward compatibility. Maybe there is just no real reason to do that in the world where there are just two companies that provide PC CPUs. The fact that AMD stepped even a bit towards this direction is giving some hope. For the first time in years, the high-end CPU segment is really competitive thanks to AMD catching up. The fact that Apple with its lineup of its new CPUs has shown what is ARM capable of in PC space and Microsoft’s Qualcomm exclusivity deal for Windows on Arm finishing shows that soon things are going to become even more interesting. I just can't wait to see what Pat Gelsinger will show us next. Hope that competition will bring even more perks for customers (like a bit better backward compatibility across the board).

Where is PERFORMANCE TESTING !!!???
It's just a simple instruction

I always like seeing a product be useable for as long as possible

Stop smoking weed Linus! It's starting to show!

Intel has DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support
AMD is still at DDR4 and PCIe 4.0
In other worlds, AMD is losing and has been for months now, shut up Linus <3

nice vid bro

Of course, that is possible. Most incompatibility arises from the need to sell products, not technical challenges.
