Well, before 2017, we had only one option - intel CPUs. After 2017 or better to say after July 2019 we have only one option - AMD CPUs.
When will we have normal competition like back in the days with price wars and new SKUs launching every month/three months to take the top spot?
we still have amd and intel to chose from now though! You have said in many posts and used to be in your sig on the forum you own a 2500u and even amd 3000 series hasn’t forced you to upgrade.
the intel lineup is still strong it’s the pricing that is not. If i9 was closer to 3800x as a rrp and i7 moved to 300 pounds. But both sides have strong CPU’s currently. Amd are not completely ahead of intel. Whilst I think the 3900x was a instant but for me due to cores and performance doesn’t mean I don’t want i9 9900k clock speeds etc
both sides amd and intel have both put out really good products but it’s intel move now when the 10 series comes out with up to 10 cores and improved this and that will we know who is were and when
I can’t see amd doing anything drastic next year with the 4000 series will be a small upgrade. If intel sort out there pricing and there own supply issues the next few years will be the most interesting times since early pentuim days
