Two desktop microarchitectures in the same year. On top of that, they require a new motherboard to support Coffee (+milk) Lake. Three if you count the HEDT X299
I jumped on the AMD train from Haswell. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. Especially with Zen2 and Zen3 being able to use the AM4 socket and X370 chipset for a few years ahead.
same here. went from i7 4790k to ryzen 7 1700 and in no way do i think its a sidegrade or whatever it is. its perfect for gaming and adobe premiere.
now... if only the ddr4 prices would drop. i want more and faster memory!

For any foreseeable future, Intel won't get a penny from me.

They lost me as a potential customer when they told Coffee Lake needs a whole new mobo/chipset.
They lost me as a customer earlier this year, and have done nothing to win me back.

I'm sure the i5 8xxxk will do that, costing more than the R7 1700 does and doing less work.
