AMD , been on a hot streak of future thinking products . but I guess it depends on what you are comfortable with. If you like learning new things and new ways to get used to different products - give AMD a try.

I don't see any reason to buy Intel right now. AMD offers better value, often better performance, and has the best platform. Consumers can get better bang for their buck with B550 than they can with a Z490 too, so that only adds to the value.

Not sure on the memory yet any suggestions Well, at the time the AMD cpus debuted , theG.SKILL Trident Z NEO DDR4 3600 was being recommended specifically for them because several versions had better timings ,.so that's what i got. But you really can't go wrong with Corsair, Gskill, Geil, Kingston Hyperx , .... Just check the timings and most are pretty solid choices.

16 GB should be plenty. 4x4 is generally faster and cheaper than 4x8 or 4x16. Higher densities generally have higher latencies, so you lose on performance. ... And the price of higher densities is generally significantly higher. Don't get more unless you need it. I don't think you need it.

2x sticks of 8 gigs is best - gives you room for more sticks if you ever feel the need or desire to upgrade ( just in case )

If it supported quad channel memory, 4x4GB would be better no question. Since it is dual channel, any latency reduced by lower density (4gb instead of 8gb) I am guessing will be lost by bank switching 2 dual channel banks. Good question. I think it is a wash either way, but good idea to research.

I have an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16 core and 128GB of DDR4 and this has been one fantastic setup. When AMD introduces their next gen Ryzen I'll probably buy that and upgrade...again.

What are you planning to use it for? AMD wins in the higher core count department (particularly on price), but if it's for gaming, Intel still holds the trophy.

TheNerd To with intel or AMD help me decide
If you're buying one today and only using the computer for gaming, then the 10900K/KF is the quickest CPU on the market. However, AMD is about to release a new line of CPU's and they may/may not be quicker than the 10900K. I would hold out if I were you.

Wonder if the new AMD CPUs will get hammered by bots for weeks as well. I imagine the price will be significantly lower than the i9-10900k at least.
