[LAU] AMD Ryzen Processors for Linux audio

[nik at parkellipsen.de]

Interesting topic, especially as there are some good laptop offers out right now that have the Ryzen 7 3700.

I've read that there were some drawbacks when it came to games, but I'm not sure if that's still the case ?

Anyway I'd be very interested in reading some opinions about it ...

Best,
n
