Yeah AMD, I like them for what they are to achieve giving the fact that they have a fraction of cash that Intel has. World needs a powerful competitor like never before, not stagnation and prices going up constantly.

The proper advice for everyone here is to just buy ZEN with blind bag on a head, it does not matter now if it is going to be fast or slow, its not funny anymore.

It's actually interesting that they mention e-sports. All e-sports games use bad, single-threaded engines. Unless they have really solid single-core performance, these are not the best titles for a CPU showcase.
