It is not funny at all. It is the just the way it is.This is something funny that i have found.
AMD Zen is going to be exciting but there's no way AMD is going to be able to catch Intel in performance. There was a big discussion about this a little while back. AMD just doesn't have the fund to turn out CPUs like Intel can.
AMD announced years ago it will NOT attempt to compete head to head with Intel. Instead, it will focus on smaller (niche) markets (and mobile devices). Even if the Zen blows the socks off "comparable" Intels, it will just mean the Camaro beat the Mustang - not that all Chevys are better than all Fords.
Now what I am waiting for, and think will be exciting and great for us consumers is if/when Samsung buys AMD. Then, with Samsung's deep pockets, AMD may be able to compete across the board with Intel and that can mean nothing but more, better, and cheaper options for consumers.
This recent massive recall of the new Samsung Galaxy Note S7 may put the brakes on the acquisition, however. Let's hope not.
