I’ve been, among other things, a PC system builder since the early 1990’s. One thing I have noticed is Intel processors “always” work while in a batch of 100 AMD processors there will a a couple duds. Last month, aganst my better judgement, I built a system for a friend using the latest Rizen processor. Sure enough the processor was bad. This past week Rock Star Games release Red Death Redemption 2 for the PC and it appears there is significant problems running with AMD processors.

I have no issue with the reliability of AMD processors. I DO have a problem with the available chipsets that support Ryzen. You just have a better choice of motherboards, features and quality of build with Intel options. I just built my next desktop for the next ten years, and I used a SuperMicro C9Z390 board. I found no AMD equivalent.

I built my first PC, an XT clone about 35 years ago. There was a time when almost all of my close friends and family members were using desktops that I put together for them. One time I assembled a batch of 12 identical computers so that it would be easier for me to keep them running. Everyone had AMD K6 processors. I had a motherboard failure and a few minor issues, but not one bad processor. My experience with both AMD and Intel processors has been extremely good. The only issue that I have had with any processors have been from surface mounted components coming loose from excess heat.
