Convince me to buy AMD. (Seriously)
It seems the trend is linked to a general rise in the "high end" category.
But these boot codes aren't only for overclocking... I agree with you. Still, I'd like to have a boot code display or IGPU support. I don't want to face unexpected boot issues again in the future. (My old motherboard had an 11th USB port for a phone app to show post codes. An app that hadn't been updated in three years... well, it just didn't work properly...)
I really don't feel the need to push you toward buying an AMD. That would be inappropriate on my part. Can you picture it? I purchase a 3700X today for $300 at Newegg, and it drops to $150 in a year—just like my 2700X did. Wanna experience that price drop? Yeah, go for it. Insane to think 16 threads at half that price and still call it HEDT, right?
