So, earlier today, i tried buying a 9800X3D on newegg. I was using funds from different sources so after confirming that Newegg takes paypal, i got all the funds set up there. But when i went to buy, the option was there to use PayPal but was greyed out and I couldn’t select it. I tried going to payment methods to set up in my account but all it would show was to add credit/debit card. Anyone know why it wouldn’t let me use PayPal?
I tried asking CS but it was taking too long for an agent to connect and i had to leave chat.

The Radeon division is incompetent as heck for marketing and PR, the CPU division is being greedy with their advantage over Intel with X3D
rancid juniper
real talk, is AMD good or bad right now? as a company
Radeon is in a bad'ish scenario while the CPU sector remains fine
however since they are dominating in CPUs they are reaching monopoly status unless intel catches up
why sell a better CPU on the market when you can rehash the same arch for less and get better profit return?
ITS JUST BUSINESS
misty sparrow
Honestly they kinda earned taking over Intel
Intel slipped up, AMD got better with their stuff
rancid juniper
Absolutely, Ryzen saved AMD from bankruptcy (Consoles did most of the heavy lifting tho)
but now they are NOT the underdogs, atleast on the CPU side of things

In my opinion their CPUs are better, I can put multiple generations of Ryzen CPUs on the same chipset
Couldn't say the same about Intel but that's probably because no update was given to my motherboard
