Inf64 said what I was going to but better.
People...perspective. For the first time in almost a decade, we have a competitive marketplace again, and that is very possibly the most important thing that came out of this. Intel has been arrogant and high-handed toward its customers for entirely too long now because of its advantage, and they got there more by scheissty shoulda-been-illegal tactics than skill until Penryn hit.
AMD has pulled off a miracle here. Do remember that most of the benchmarks showing Intel's HEDT chips beating the 17/1800(x) series are comparing chips that cost $500-$1,700 to those that cost $250-$500 respectively.
So celebrate Intel all you want, I'm looking forward to Skylake-X too, but do it for the right reasons: the return to a competitive marketplace. If the more...ahem...enthusiastic Intel boosters ever actually got their way, the entire market would be a monopolistic disaster.
