Today is the big day for AMD. This is very cool news. We're going to experience great competition between Intel and AMD. For me personally it looks like I'm going to flip a coin.

This is a little concerning to me. Seems like AMD is throwing everything they've got at this. I'm sure this is just so they can barely top out Intel, but they better hope to have another trick up their sleeves after this generation because Intel is playing the same game of ridiculous clocks.
Then again, I personally don't really care about such CPUs or specs. I'm not willing to spend that kind of money for the sake of a pissing contest. I just want the chip that does what I need it to do for a reasonable price and good performance-per-watt. This chip will be none of those things.

Love watching people complain about a CPU they don't intend to buy.

Nope I have it right. The new arch was never the first to land on a new node back when Intel as doing tick tock. This approach mitigates how much change occurs at once. You get to fine tune the node using the old, tweaked architecture and then work on a new architecture using the same process node like TSMC's 5nm in this case.

For me personally I'm excited for the new technologies. I'm looking forward to purchasing new hardware for gaming and creating. I want to test and enjoy the efficiency. The upcoming releases reminds me of the excitement I had for the VooDoo 2, TNT cards, early GeForce cards, Radeon 9700 - 9800xt, X1900xt, 8800gt/gts and I could just keep going.
Remember the power/performance increase of the Pentium 2, Pentium 4, Core 2 Duo, Quad, I9 and Ryzen? That's how I'm feeling! We have great tech and fantastic game engines coming.
Heck my current system still impresses me but we are getting a nice leap forward with the new CPUs and GPUs. The leaks and performance test are proving that. I liked AMD's showing and their future products are looking good. Looking forward to what Jenson has to say in September. The 13900k leaks are impressive also and the 4090 is looking to be monstrous. I want to see what RDNA 3 can do with heavily raytraced games.
Prices are coming down also here in the states. Gpus and Ram are seeing huge discounts. I truly hope this extends to every country.
Maybe because I'm an old head that started out playing pong but in my opinion, this is indeed one of the most exciting times for new hardware.

Unfortunately on the Europe, tech prices (CPUs, GPUs) still inflated and many households are experiencing great increases on prices (energy, groceries, etc...), so no longer we can be entusiastic at upgrading our computers. Is litteraly expecting some promos to see if is possible to do some upgrades. This year I upgraded the GPU (sold my old to get some money back), CPU (I waited for a promotion), and PSU because my old one was not giving confidence to mantain it, to much noise at load. I always did a lot of upgrades on my desktop last years, contantly buying and selling components, but tis is a time that is out of question. I went from a Ryzen 2600 to 5600, was not sure if it was going to be a good upgrade, but indeed the leap in performance was really great, just by changing the CPU with just a difference of 2 generations in the same socket, an upgrade that is 10 minutes and ready to blow.
The AM4 is a fantastic platform, sill gives really good performance and had an excelent upgrade path. At least I think much better than AM3. Ryzen 5000, a bit pricey at lauch, but beasts in performance. This 7000 will be fantastic, and I will try to go AM5 when things will be better.
