Title: Getting a new PC Desktop, need some processor advice...
Post by: johnnyswedish on 2024-01-22, 19:10:31

Hi Forum,

Getting a new desktop PC built soon and have a question on either Intel or AMD? My friend at Armari has suggested AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 4.5-5.7GHz 16 Core UNLOCKED Processor, but my Laptop is a Intel core 9 10th Gen. I have read some people are having problems with Corona / AMD. Should I switch or stay with Intel? Would love to get some user/Corona Team advice before a I commit, Thanks, John :-)

Those are probably the people with Threadripper and Epyc high core count systems. I haven't heard of any Corona specific issues with Ryzens. I myself have a Ryzen and have zero issues. I can't recommend one platform over another, but regarding compatibility, AMD is as safe option as Intel is.

Thank you Romullus for clarification :-) Will stick with his AMD config once I have funds for purchase.
