Intel have monopolised the CPU market for far to long. Jacking prices up on not just there CPU's but also their storage options. I'm really glad that AMD have released Ryzen, because even if you hate AMD least there will be competition for Intel to get there ass in gear and stop over charging. Just look at their 7th gen CPU's there a joke compered to the performance increase of 6th gen over 5th gen was. Competition thanks to AMD will change this, and compition is always good for the consumer.
