Intel patches new ME vulnerabilities

I have recently built a machine with Ryzen 2700X & geforce gtx 1050ti (GPU is required as Ryzen doesn't have an internal one but there are plenty of cheaper ones like mine), running Ubuntu and it's just fantastic. Docker builds, compilation takes seconds as compared to my macbook which has i7. Plus there's no overheating issues when I am running Kubernetes all the time and I can still code.

TL;DR Ryzen 2700X is great value for money, would recommend it any day :)

I've been running on a Ryzen 5 1600 for a year and agree with you entirely, the performance is amazing for the price. Currently dual booting with Win10 and Void Linux and haven't had any processor-related issues so far!

+1 to this. Upgraded from an i7-4790 (non K variant)

System runs cooler, quieter and faster. Gentoo absolutely flies on it as well
