is buying a 1 or 2 gen ryzen a good idea at this time?

1 : Anonymous2021/10/02 20:45 ID: q032d2

our family uses 2 ryzen cpu, Im using a ryzen 5 2600 and my brother is 2700, I got mine for 100 cad (80usd)and 2700 for 170 cad (130usd) both was around this time last year, I found another ryzen 2700 for sale at the same price 170 cad 130 usd, should I buy it or are they not as good as what is to come?

like I see 5000, so like what now? I know the first and second gen is like 14nano and the newest is 7, should I be upgrading for later or is this good for say next 5 years?

I dont think so if you can afford 5xxx

if you care about Win 11 but that's one factor more to consider

For next 5 years that is hard to know but i believe that series 5000 will perform well for next 3 years for sure

Considering that Windows 11 doesn't officially support Ryzen 1st and 2nd Gen... I wouldn't buy Ryzen 1000 and Ryzen 2000 anymore. Atleast Ryzen 3000. If we are talking about 5 years or more I would actually opt for Ryzen 5000 just because you most definitely won't have any problems with Ryzen 5000 in the next 5 years.

It does officially support 2nd gen, just not 1st gen.

Oh you're right. Well atleast partially. Zen 1 isn't supported, Zen 2 is. Ryzen 2400G for example is a Ryzen 2000 CPU but Zen 1 based. I was wrong with saying Ryzen 2000 isn't supported at all tho, I'm sorry.

ok thanks, I have a question about first gen ryzen, I had a 1200 and I was playing overwatch and saw pretty bad fps, it was about the same as my i5 3550, is that just due to it being new right? does all gen 1 suffer from this?

Uhm... R3 1200 is pretty entry level tbh. It's good for some multitasking office use, but definitely not suited for high FPS gaming tho...

The Ryzen 1200 and i5 3550 are around the same performance so this is expected.

I would also lean toward the Ryzen 5000 as it is a more modern architecture.

Windows 11 has run smoothly on my Ryzen 5000 since release.

As for the 5 year viability, I think that will heavily depend on 5000 model you select.

Depends on what you’re gonna use it for. If you’re gonna be gaming, I’d get a 3700X. New consoles use a variant of that CPU and that will probably be the minimum requirement for games 3-4 years from now

I would rather get a Ryzen 5 3600 than a Ryzen 7 2700
