Title kind of says it all but it's still baffling. Running an old ass amd fx with 24 gig ram in the other computer. Work laptop is an i7 with 64 gigs of ram and is still slower in daily use. Both have ssd boot drives.

Granted im comparing desktop and laptop. But a 15 year difference is pretty crazy to me.

I always preferred the AMD branch pipeline over Intel. Sadly I haven't used an AM since that FX era, but I used that until about 5 years ago and still preferred it to that day's Intels.

    The main reason I upgraded was I wanted more RAM and maxed out the DDR3 stick sizes.

    I got a 6th Gen i7, which has faster hard-core processing, but the Windows and MS Office UI was really responsive on those AMDs.
