The argument is that none of the websites tested real-world scenarios. They tested benchmarks. Benchmarks run singularly. Benchmarks are not the end-all be all of tech. They're just guidelines. Answer me first: Why put "BEST CPU" when the chart is "BEST Gaming CPU"?

the context of most of the reviews are simple: Intel is Steph Curry : 3 pt/Gaming Specialist AMD is Kahwi Leonard: Offense/Defense full product. It's a pretty apt comparison too, considering that Kahwi is a complete player, while Steph has no defense and has questionable shot selection.

FPS performance seems to be a new way for dick-waving contests: I don't care. What realistic people want isn't the best for a singular facet. It's the product that could hit multiple targets at the same time.

The point here is that "BEST CPU" should be taken in to consideration, all facets of the CPU itself. Why is there suddenly the importance of gaming; when people can get more than just gaming for the chip

Why call it "BEST CPU" for the money? when the Ryzen 5 can do other things significantly faster other than gaming. You're not painting the whole picture here. What you're painting isn't a recommendation: It's an ad for Intel's gaming performance.

Tom's Logic: "If it's good in gaming, it should be enough elsewhere that's why it's the BEST CPU for your shekels." Don't care if my rig can't do VM's while having horsepower for it BECUZ GAMEZZZZ Don't care if my rig can't do anything productivity better BECUZ GAMEZZZ Don't care if my...

Who puts "Best CPUs" for their article and then goes "For gaming" at the end of it all. Saying the i5 is better all-around when in fact it isn't is a big crime here. The topic is : BEST CPU. People do not just game on their desktop computers. And for this reason, people need the right...

This is basically TL;DR the you don't need x cores argument for games. EDIT: This doesn't suprise me anymore coming from one of the only sites that recommended the P4 over the 64X2 Also funny is the assertion that "you don't need x anything". By locking them up with the 1151 Socket and with...

I've been looking at this site for recommendations for Hardware for years, but it is a sad state that people can't objectively give price/performance ratios. By that alone merits at least one Ryzen processor. What we have here is the common tactic that Intel has. Remember the 64 and Intel's...

Would the Athlon brand still be active? With the R7 for Enthusiasts, the R5's for mainstream high computing and the R3 for mainstream computing, how do you see the Athlon fit in with all the APU's still not in tow.

Is the AM4 platform going to see revisions that would enable it to take newer technologies like DDR5 or newer interfaces? I just like the idea that the AM4, just like the AM3 and AM2 before it be able to be backwards compatible with older AM4 processors so that it won't be a hassle to...
