To those considering X299, X370 or X399 there may be one important advantage of X299 over AMD: wide range of CPUs available, from low cost to very high cost. You get one platform that supports multiple M.2, lot of high speed RAM, quad memory channel, lot of PCIe lanes. In the beginning due to limited budget you get a "cheap" 6-8 core but later if really needed (games really start using multiple cores or need more for work) you can swap in a 10-18 core and unlock its full potential.
With AMD you either have:
With AMD you either have:
- X370 - max 8 core, although cheap, very limited in M.2, RAM, PCIe lanes
- X399 - the lowest will probably be 12 core, best 16 core. Lot of M.2, RAM, PCIe lanes, but also high cost. Perhaps you don't need all that at the beginning!
