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.
