lol this thread delivers, and this is only a glimpse of the hilarity that will ensue is AMD get the jump on Intel on 7nm... IDL will have a field day here defending... cant wait.
End of the day, buy what suits your budget and needs tbh. Im happy with my 1700, happy enough to move to a 2700X and after that the 3700X or whatever it will be called. Dont miss my old Intel chips one bit.
I like how there are a lot of excuses for Intel these days, something is going very wrong, or very right, depending on your view point.
Competition is not just good for us ALL, its also fun.
