I have two of those boards, one from MS the other ASUS, both still working. What are you talking about? It was only the B3.What? Let me guess you didn't have your SandyBridge MB recalled?
What is the source of your 20% IPC advantage claim?I think it kind of depends on where you were coming from. An upgrade from Sandy Bridge i5-2500K that doubles the cores and adds hyperthreading and increases the IPC by about 20% seems pretty good. An i5-2500K 4.5Ghz overclock is pretty standard. If I have a 4.0Ghz Ryzen clock speed, I can multiply that by 1.2 and get 4.8Ghz. That 4.8Ghz is 6.6% faster than my overclocked 4.5Ghz speed and doesn't take into consideration the doubling of the cores or quadrupling of the threads or the memory bandwidth improvements. That's more than the generational improvement that Intel typically wants us to update on without the core/thread increases. And then there's the motherboard improvements of USB 3.1, better audio, SATA 3, PCIe 3, M.2 support , DDR4 support, current OS support, etc. I could have gotten all of this and even higher raw clock speeds on an i7-7700k but the core count wouldn't have changed. To me that's the fundamental difference between this and the previous Intel incremental changes that made me think that now was the time to upgrade after 6 years of waiting for something worthy.
Do Linux fans favor AMD cpus?Do a little investigation into AMD's ability to process 4 complex x86 instructions versus intel being able to only do 1 complex + 3 simple in a clock cycle and how long AMD has been able to do that. Then think of the old term "Wintel". Next, consider Intel's exclusive use contract with Dell and other system builders. Last, look at when multithreaded apps started seeing widespread adoption and compare it to when Intel started offering multicore CPUs to the masses versus when AMD did.
A pretty shitty picture should be forming.
Those fuckers at Intel are good. They're damn good. And I'm not talking about their engineering staff.
This and price/performance ratio is why I have always supported AMD unless it absolutely did not make sense to do so.

AMD CPUs are fine for Linux. Even Bulldozer wasn't that bad on Linux.
AMD GPUs are hopeless on Linux though (for gaming).

Look in the 1366 overclocking thread in the Intel forum, plenty of peeps tossing out their 920's for $50 and under 6c12t Xeons.
There's a lot of value to be had there. I can't complain about the x5675 that I snagged on Ebay to take the place of a W3550 for light workstation duties. The tower was rescued from the recycle pile at work. A sub-$50 investment turned it into a great home server. I just wish 8GB Unbuffered ECC DDR3 sticks weren't so damn expensive otherwise I would have maxed it at 48GB instead of the 16GB that are in it now.
I use linux here and I only buy amd if I'm buying a discrete card.

I always thought AMD was for the poor people! HaHaHaHa
Get with the times. I use linux daily and the open source driver from amd FAR better to live with than the nvidia one.2 years ago I tried 7870 on Ubuntu. KF1 has graphics glitches and smoke effect takes fps from 60 to below 20. I recently saw some nvidia vs amd benchmark on phoronix and nvidia is better fpr the most part. R9 290 was worse than RX 460.

...Lurk more/STFU for once.
Intel has fucked up platform launches far worse before. As mentioned earlier X99, plus 1st rev SB etc etc, I even lost two drives to a B3 SB revision bug.
Your OP reads like mega shilling.
AMD is for smart people
Man that B3 bug got me too, lost my Corsair SSD RAID array to that one. Those drives were pretty cool too, the red casing was pretty snazzy.
Being smart and rich doesn't mean you splash out on shit for not reason either.Being smart doesn't mean your not POOR! HaheHaheHahe
