What surprises me is that whilst I already knew no one bothers to read the source articles, no one even bothered to read your post or even quickly browse the source article.

 

And the odd person after your post and all the coments pointing out it is a joke and we still have the occasional serious post.

What? What's next, am I supposed to read the replies as well before ranting about the title? Perhaps the sources too?

 

Spoiler

I came to rant, not to read!

For threads less than 4 pages I try to read them all,  occasionally I learn something from the thread that I didn't pick up in the article and that changes my position,  for really long threads I read the first 2 pages, then skim through the rest and read the last 2 pages.

 AMD was so far behind for so long, Intel slacked off and never suspected AMD would make it this far.

To be fair rightfully so. I'm sure none of us took AMD seriously during the mid to early 2010s. Bulldozer was a dumpster fire their APUs which was supposed to be their saving grace, was really mediocre at best. Every time they released a new APU the fanboys would go "oh my god, AMD is back baby, our saviour has returned", only for it to get slapped around by Pentium chips when reviews started to come in.
