Late 2020 I switched from Intel to AMD Ryzen 5900X for my gaming PC and only had great experiences as far as gaming is concerned.

I should point out that there were significant USB problems on AMD B550, X570 chipsets (eventually addressed via BIOS updates).

Unfortunately some professional audio gear is only certified for use with Intel chipsets and I have experienced some deal-breaking latency issues with ASIO drivers. For gaming I will be happy to continue using AMD - but for music I will probably switch back to Intel for my next rig.

That actually sucks because I do a lot of music stuff and having any issues with ASIO would be a deal breaker. Thanks for the heads up! One of those things I would have never even thought of to check!

Also sums up my AMD experience 10 years ago. Stuff just wasn't working :/
