I have finally ditched Nvidia and I have nothing but praise for my AMD gpu. Now im in market for new CPU and I kinda want to do same with Intel, since I was on intel my whole life.
At the moment im looking at AMD Ryzen 9 7900 and i5 13600k (if i decide to go with intel) i5 is 70-80euros cheaper in my country.
Will there be any differance betwen those two on linux? What are your experiences with AMD cpus?
Thanks
CPU brand (as in AMD/Intel) makes little if any difference in linux. There was a period of time where some of the intel CPU “efficiency cores” were not properly scheduled in the kernel but I think that’s a lot better now as long as you use a relatively new kernel.
I have a 5950x with a 6900xt in my linux box and have had no complaints.
The 7900 is significantly better than the 13600 in multi-core performance. In single-core performance they’re fairly comparable. If you only care about single-core, you can also consider dropping down to the Ryzen 7700, which is basically the same but with fewer cores.
Luckily, pretty much any modern x86 CPU works about as well as any other. I’ve had a Ryzen CPU for about three years and an Intel CPU before that, and I notice no differences (apart from obviously the faster CPU being faster).
There’s not any significant difference when it comes to Linux compatibility, I’ve had entirely fine experiences with both.
Yeah, but you have compared top-of-the-line Ryzen model vs. Intel’s high-medium tier. That’s not gonna really help.

Is what he want to buy , not me.
I would go Intel until AMD fixes their fTPM. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.3-Fix-For-AMD-fTPM
