You behave like a fanboy. You come with a "trust me bro" argument in a data-driven conversation. I suggest you go do some real research before coming here throwing disinformation. If you use bad software - and ilok is a monument of how badly written a software can be - don't blame the CPU. If you had any idea about how actually software and x86 hardware works, you'd understand there's nothing in there that could cause "compatibility issues". It either works or it doesn't... and be careful who you listen to.
But anyway, arguing with fanboys is a waste of time. I suggest anyone who wants to upgrade their CPU to do some real in-depth research into the intel problems and how good AMD ryzen 7 and 9 are for audio, and weed out the fanboyism.
I think the misinformation is coming 101% from your side.
"Trust me bro" ? Data-driven?? Who? the clueless guy's video you posted? The AMD shills? Who?
The guy who downclocked his CPU to 4.2Ghz?
Fanboyism? I am not a fan boy at all and while we are at it and you wanna do this with playground rules I will answer back in the same way, so as to set the tone of this post.
This is the difference between buying a Mac (hassle free operation), and building and maintaining a PC by yourself (which includes having the analytical skills to weed out "I heard it on youtube"-kids").
I personally explained the mess that happened with the Intel CPUs. I did not say it did not happen, and I explained how I and many other sane people avoided it from the start. Because it was crystal clear what you need to do once you look at the BIOS settings a year ago.
Are you the same Italian guy I had an argument with about the exact same thing on some facebook group 10 or so days ago and when I offered him to benchmark our machines (mine vs the ones he is selling to his clients), and run 24/7 tests he vanished? Because if you are you should change your job yesterday. You came here with one funny article from a dude who kept downclocking his CPU to 4.2Ghz from at least 5.7Ghz and had BSODs from week 1
and a video from a guy who is absolutely clueless about how BIOS works. I did not bring you any clueless guy's shill video or article but I offered you my knowledge and personal experience, as well as the road to this intel mess. Your knowledge seems to end on youtube videos. Knowledge about how to setup PCs properly as with everything comes with experience, many mistakes (some costly ones), hours and hours of testing, and the right paths of unbiased information.DATA DRIVEN!!!
If we are to blame anyone about the Intel mess without going into conspiracy theories then it should be the motherboard vendors first, and intel second for not stopping that madness (but I guess they liked the benchmark results). What more in-depth than this do you need?I also gave you reasons why an AMD is not better than an Intel for average DAW usage (by average I mean DAW usage both during writing music but also mixing).

"The problem is due to a bug in the CPU itself, which impacts the way certain protection features in iLok-enabled software work. We have reported the issue to AMD, who have acknowledged the problem"
Oh it is not the CPU eh, it is the software right? And with AMDs it is not only the ilok but many many many other devices (wanna start about midi controllers, interfaces, pcie cards?). You have no idea how many people with AMD cpu laptops had issues randomly with their interface or midi contorllers live on stage.
I have never in my life blocked someone in a forum, let alone a music one, but I will do this right now.
