I'd argue that one of the required steps to being "pro", is NOT using anything made by AMD :-p,(reply>), They can have serious stability issues and that's a complete no-go for me. Trying to build a stable AMD is like playing Russian Roulette.,(reply>), This is the part that is different on the amd pro models. A pro may not need a whole lot of computational power but may need good security like maybe a lawfirm where a ryzen 3 pro would be fine on power and useful for confidentiality. (As long as you don't combine it with Windows of course).,(reply>), Amd makes very good processors for cheaper than Intel. I don't see the obsession over Intel, yes it can better but if you're not made of money a Ryzen is a much better choice.,(reply>), They do not. Could you tell me how that is relevant to the average user? I'd really like to know.,(reply>), ShamblerDK Does intel make fully encrypted cpu's?
