I have been considering platforms for a while now... something to nicely compliment my MacBook Pro. My choice was between Intel 1151 and AMD AM4. I have been really interested in the new AMD Ryzen processors. I went for it and built a new, Mini-ITX AMD Ryzen PC.
This AMD screams. It is stable at a 3.5GHz overclock on stock voltage -- running the stock cooler. Temperatures do not go above 62°C when under a stress test. The system idles around 38°C. Below are Cinebench ratings. It is a very potent 1080p@60fps machine. Way to go AMD, you've really impressed me. I would say that they've succeeded in shaking up something at Intel. The new i3s are quad-cores...
- Processor: 3.1GHz AMD Ryzen 3 1200, overclocked @ 3.5GHz
- Memory: 16GB (8GBx2) EVGA DDR4-3200, running on the DDR4-3200 XMP profile
- Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming X370 Gaming-ITX/ac AM4
