I have 3 machines.
Two are high end I7, 12 core and 20 core, one is the previous Vishera
The problem with the AMD is the heat creation, i have all the problems in the world of
cooling it down even with a big water cooler radiator and 3 fans, it tends to heat too fast
when doing heavy number crunching...
The other thing with these AMD processors is the single-thread performance which is not great compared to the i7. But good price/performance ratio.
But IMHO the last "better than Intel" AMD processors were the first Opteron generation, 2005/2006...
For purely trading any of the these CPU's works just fine. I went to a 1700x primarily for backtesting, and faster loading of tick replay indicators. Works well, at least compared to my old Ivybridge CPU.
