So AMD has done it right in a $300 CPU, while Intel hasn't done it right in 4(?) generations of CPU's now. Broadwell-E processors are better, but still not good enough.
I'm more and more baffled how AMD can offer a CPU with this performance for this price with proper build quality like this as well. Is AMD simply selling these first gen Ryzen CPU's at a ridiculous low price to regain market without making a lot of profit, or is Intel really that overpriced?
Maybe a combination of both.

If all of the capacitor are covered on a silicon layer they would be all shorted together (and everything to GND I suppose).
Maybe you wanted to say silicone.

Good to see solder under the hood again, and I'm surprised they're using a dual die setup like my old q6600 which I delidded really easily using the vice method to practice befor doing my current 3770k.

Delidding...an ancient process described in some detail by the numerous cave paintings depicting the practice in crude illustrations found deep inside French caves and in sub-oceanic caverns across the globe. It is thought that ancient man with his much reduced cranial capacities deduced that since cpus appeared to have "lids" that those lids could be surgically removed by the skilled artisans of the day. After the untimely deaths of many unfortunate cpus in those dark days, the practice was largely abandoned. CPUs are no longer, to coin the parlance of the day, "circumcised" in such a manner.
