Ryzen beats out Intel for Linus Torvalds.

Linux overseer Linus Torvalds has revealed he has replaced the Intel processor on his PC with the 32-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970x. !

In his weekly State of the Kernel blog post, Torvalds announced that the development process of the Linux 5.7 rc7 has been hassle-free and smooth, and that a regular release looks on the cards for next week.

“In fact, the biggest excitement this week for me was just that I upgraded my main machine, and for the first time in about 15 years, my desktop isn't Intel-based," Torvalds wrote in his blog.

There was no more information about the new system rig, but as the 3970x requires a sTRX4 socket which first appeared on motherboards in late 2019, The Register speculates that Torvalds has probably got a new PC. .
