Just bought a laptop/tablet with a ryzen 2700u in it for my wife. Just got it set up. It's way more than what she needed/wanted. She refuses to let me benchmark it hehe. She wanted one for web surfing/youtube/netflex/excel ect. No gaming. It does all of that at one time. Looks nice too! I'm an intel fan but I'm glad I have another choice now. No plans when it comes to buying another intel system. If AMD keeps this up I'll stay with em.
I want to say I think this is just a ploy by Intel. If they stop selling CPUs to DIY builders you can't say they lost market share to AMD.
OR any shortage for that. All Intel has to say is "AMD didn't beat us! We have a shortage!" ehe

not that mater but next pc I making ( not mine cause I not redoing mine anytime soon) is gona be ryzen 7 2700 build next few months ( for my uncle), and when I get around to mine in another 3 or so years it will be amd too unless intel pull there collective heads out other delusion butt holes
There MSRP for there CPU are ridiculous consider there performance difference from amd and intel atm is is not worth the double price Intel is charging if there cpu where double the performance of amd then sure, that isnt even remotely true atm

I'm guessing there's also a big fine or something like that if they don't deliver all the CPU's ordered by say, HP, Dell, Lenovo and such. Also, you don't want to leave your big partners empty handed, they might jump board and join AMD. That would be horrible for their business. Not only it means you're not getting all the money you could, your opponent is getting that money.

Eh, who cares. As long as that 2019 ryzen proves to be as good I.. susp..-expect it to be it's all good. And Intel can keep working on their 10nm fab, it might be done before 2021 even at this rate while they keep asking triple the money for subpar 14nm products.

I am really eager to switch platforms, AMD makes more sense than ever. They delivered now and looks like they will deliver what's been promised. Yes, of course, they have their faults, but lately, they redeemed themselves big time.
Intel product line is a fine choice now, aren't they? Cheap crappy thermal paste, huge price, more vulnerabilities, rigged benchmarks, their marketing team screw consumers, glued CPUs requiring a full refrigerator to cool down and many, many more.
IF only, and it is a BIG IF AMD will somehow listen and deliver a switch for opting out PSP integrated ARM " management" will make soo many soo happy. A man can dream, and a man needs an option.
