I can't believe there are persons expecting AMD to overtake Intel on full performance. That's some wacky expectations. To truly go from basically the last in many things to the highest in one Gen with AMD's budget is quite the unrealistic expectation is it not?
AMD will end up truly competitive, NOT performance leader. Why do people keep raising the performance bar to the top?
When it comes to price/performance, then yes, AMD will be on the high end of that list. NOT outright performance king though.
I hope I'm wrong on even performance king, but I think I'm not. Especially the clock speed AMD's cpu's are shipping at.
If you simply need over 200-300fps @ 720p then buy Intel.
If you want to game with good frames, but still want to encode, broadcast, twitch, and whatever your gaming situation, in real-time at the same time, you may want to consider Ryzen.
