Yeah, wanted to bite my tongue, but somehow I blurted : Intel, cool story bro!
I'll admit, it's only for overclocking now , but besides that, no compelling reason to buy Intel anymore.

If you need PCIe lanes for NVMe RAID, Thunderbolt, etc., Threadripper 3960X starts at $1400, compared to i9-10900X for $600. If 3950X was a Threadripper like the 2950X it would have been great.

i9-10900X for $600

$600 pfff... what a ripoff.

1920X costs $279...

1900X is just $160 .... that's still 8 cores which are way more than enough for a file/media server !
https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-threadripper-1900x/p/N82E16819113457

All the PCIe lanes and SATA channels... for peanuts.

Intel still doesn't make any sense, doesn't matter how much fanboys like you try to justify it.

I like competition - but, as an aside, I have to say that my gaming performance is just fine using an intel cpu from...7 years ago? Modern PC's and ocmputers in general just do not need high performance.

The i7-980X in my backup PC only started feeling the squeeze this year. That's an almost decade old CPU, and even then, I imagine it still has a year or two left in it before I'll replace it as my backup with my current i9. Most people here are enthusiasts, so they're almost aways into the latest and greatest, but in the foreseeable future, the so-called average user will be just fine with any CPU that's been released in the last 5 years.
