    You understand it fine.

    Intel thought they could get away with their usual MO of “make a leap forward in technology and slowly meter it out over time” forever. Now that we’re running into physics limitations, AMD has fully caught up and even sprinted past Intel for certain workloads.

    I used to prefer Intel+nvidia for pc builds, but when the last generation of the Core lineup fell a bit flat I built a Ryzen+Radeon setup that’s been kicking ass for years.

    I’m content to just let Intel hang themselves with their own rope.

      That’s in line with what I’ve been able to figure out from benchmarks, so thank you for confirming that. Also, fuck Intel for coming up with a new, and even dumber naming scheme for their newest CPUs, when the old way worked fine (Not that I’m a fan of how AMD names their CPUs…)
