In fairness, I really enjoyed the downgrade to the A10 7850k when it came out. :D
Initial faildozer chips were one of the biggest hardware disappointments though. I remember reading the Anandtech review on launch day and just losing all hype.

Don't remember who or which thread it was, might have even been this one...Ha! Someone posted Phoronix benchmarks with Intel's new 6000 series Xeon saying something along the lines of Intel was back.

I made the point that this was vs Zen 4 (###4) and they didn't beat even those, Zen 5 EPYC (###5) was just around the corner and would probably push X86 Server to another level.....

This is where the money is and what all X86 CPUs are developed for, including Intel, this +5% Zen 4 vs Zen 5 on the desktop only matters to us, its not the grand scale.

This is the grand scale...

notice a single Epyc 9965 ($14,000) tying with XENON 6980 2P ($17,000 x 2) - and my goodness, less than half the power

Sometimes when I hear people say Zen 5 is a flop (5% here or x number of frames there) I think maybe they should be more aware of the complexities and changes and for why.
I prefer this guy to steve but then i'm not a frame chaser.

People here care about games, it's a flop for gamers. There are better forums out there to discuss servers and other boring topics

A few years ago
Intels quarterly earnings were 18~20Bn (4-6Bn profit)
AMD's quarterly earnings were < 1Bn (lucky to break even)

2024 Q3
Intel 12~13Bn. profit ?
AMD is expected to post 6.7Bn with profit.

2024 Q4
AMD is expected to post increased sales and profit

Intel has a big problem
