R7

Intel: Ahh we still got time

ThreadRipper

Intel: Holy Shiza announce it all, slightly tweak our current cpu's and announce it

Background: We're losing the enthusiasts!!?! We're losing them!!?!

 

Thoughts on is it AMD's Time to Shine or will Intel Strike Back Later On ?

Intel will come back with Coffee Lake.

Intel will strike back two years following this, they always do. Just look at their core 2 duo lineup in the mid 2000s. That was entirely because Intel wasn'r prepared for the Athlon 64 but then came out with something better later on rather than the failure of the pentium D.

Do we fall into buying AMD Now and then wait to switch is the real question ?

Intel probaly has a well thought out plan on how to gain back their customers. The problem intel is facing right now is the loss in margins, having to sell their expensive xeons for a "low" price. That is more than enough to explain intels rush to make money back somewhere else. Secondly, Intel heavily underestimated the power of mindshare. Therefor losing a lot of loyal Intel fanboys.

Intel is far from dead in the water

intel isn't out of the fight, but amd got up from a long count and really bopped them good and got them reeling. The good news competition drives innovation and tends to lower pricing. The bad news...is there bad news? The best news, whether you buy amd or intel right now you're getting a top notch cpu, which you haven't been able to really say for quite a few years, intel is a little better for raw gaming power, while ryzen has decent gaming power but really shines in more heavily multicore/multithreaded tasks. I'm hoping to see the balance of power drift back to 2005-2006 levels because we'll either see pricing come down, or intel will start trying to actually deliver serious performance improvements (clearly amd is already on that track)

Except Intel already had a *unique* product that could be pivoted to beat Threadripper across the board.  All AMD can do is copy paste the same chip a few times on a package.

I can understand, Vega though beats out nvidia which is where the hype comes to play though
