![]() Has AMD ever not had chipset issues? I honestly don't think anyone could say that they haven't. X79 had its SAS ports removed (this could just be Intel market segmentation at work) but even the C606 version of the same chip reduced the SAS speed down to 3 Gbit.Įarly versions of the Z87 chipset have a unique USB 3.0 bug. X58 and the server 5500 series chipset have a virtualization bug that'll cause IO devices to disappear in rare instances. There are a couple of other recent examples. ![]() The most recent critical issue is the first-generation 6 series and their defective SATA controller on PCH that were recalled. Intel chipsets haven't been problem free either throughout their long history. Nowadays its usually just inferior SATA/RAID/USB performance as opposed to outright instability, so that's an improvement but it's still yet another deficiency compared to the competition. ![]() Even the 3rd party chipsets from Nvidia which I tried still had these problems (NF4 RAID corruption specifically). Since that chipset was provided by Intel, the system ran flawlessly! Everything from K7 onwards that I have tried had some kind of issue with instability or lesser I/O performance than an Intel counterpart. I've been using AMD CPUs dating back to the 486 days, when AMD launched a cheap Pentium competitor that was Socket 7 compatible.
