So let me get this right, the massively underfunded Zen/K12 will somehow turn up as a direct miracle about equal to the reborn of christ.
In the same time Intel will have huge delays because some Wikipedia article may state so? Not that I even see this delay in the article.
And somehow this will make AMD competitive?
This thread is made up of fantasy.
The problem (I've got), is that the "official" information (or even rumors), lack relatively vital information, in which to reliably respond to your comments.
The key unanswered questions in my mind are:
How much faster is Skylake going to be (including IPC, any clock speed improvements and instruction set speedups, such as AVX3), compared to the existing range of cpus ?
Is AMD Zen going to come out on time, and be as good as it can be, given its budget and other constraints ?
I.e. How fast (IPC) is it going to be ? How many cores (max) ? and what frequency will it go up to ?
Despite Intels claims to the contrary, is the progress (towards Canonlake 10nm) going to be on time and as trouble free, as they are hoping ?
Since I don't know the answers to these questions, until closer to 2016/17, I can't easily agree or disagree with you.
