If your son stubbornly insists on gaming with AMD, get him a Ryzen, as even the slowest Ryzen can be twice as fast as what he has now.

Thanks Pat. I actually looked at some Ryzens. I'm not paying $500 or more for top of the line, so the ones I saw were reasonable, but the speed was lower, but the cores were double. I think I may just do that - swap out for a newer gen AMD, since he won't touch Intel.
