I don't mind CPUs progressing this fast -- means when I do eventually upgrade from my 3900X, I'll get an insane performance boost along with it.

What happened is people realized Intel was sitting on their ass, and AMD stopped eating crayons. ...

LOL, This is the best comment regarding AMD that I've read in awhile.

I'm not counting out AM4 yet, AMD has switched their tune a couple times on backwards compatibility with mobo's, a Zen 3 + on refined 7nm node probably will still work in AM4 with a bios update on 'select mobos' aka higher end ones to mid-upper tier ones. That's my guess anyway we will see.

That would be interesting.

I just can't get enough of the Ryzen CPU's!
I have 2 first gen Ryzens and one 3rd gen.
Hope to add a 4th gen CPU soon!
LOVE YOU AMD!

I so want a 3rd gen Ryzen but I'm already 169% satisfied with Zen2.

I like AMDs new ZEN strategy. In order to gain significant IPC increases, you need design overhauls versus just minor improvements.
That's what AMD has done since ZEN.
ZEN to ZEN+ Respectful IPC uplift
ZEN+ to ZEN 2 Significant IPC uplift
ZEN 2 to ZEN 3 Significant IPC uplift.
ZEN 3 to ZEN 4 Significant IPC uplift.

Had AMD not done this, ZEN would have died a horrible death already.

I don't think they had much of a choice. AMD was one foot in the grave when Zen came out. Intel can basically afford to loose for awhile.
