CalmmoCan't wait for those real world Steam and battlenet loading time benchmarks that will define the next generation of desktop and hedt CPUs that'll help me choose my next purchase.
;o

efikkanGet educated, that's not even remotely true.
Intel have had a brand new architecture ready for two years now, just waiting for a suitable node to produce it, and they are also preparing the next one for 2021.

Intel have not been "pissing their pants", been relaxing or whatever. Their fault is in building a strategy where everything relies on a single node being on time, and not having any kind of real "backup plan".

lynx29The fact Enhanced Sync/Freesync does not work with 144hz freesync monitors on navi gpu's 2 months after launch has put me off to AMD in general. I'm considering Intel 10nm and rtx 3xxx series next summer/fall as my ultimate build that will last me 5-7+ years. I really wanted an all AMD setup, but I just want it to work, I don't want to have to fight software... :/

JAB CreationsHow elitist. AMD is David and Intel is Goliath; you should expect AMD is improve with increasing speed over time. AMD is giving their all and little shits like you could be starving on the streets or in the slums and intead you're making petty complaints. Be thankful that there is competition again that will grow AMD to be able to appease your petty "demands".

dozenfuryIntel's marketing dept is building a nasty rep for themselves. This aligns with the dubious "third-party" benchmarks they took some heat for about a year or so ago as well. AMD has always pushed the limits with their marketing too, and have played games with shady anonymous "leaks" showing overly positive benchmarks prior to releases. But Intel has definitely succumbed to the same temptations. I'd look at any marketing or benchmarks from either of them with a grain of salt. It just increases the importance of info from valid unbiased reviews and benchmarks from proper tech sites.
