Yes that is what I told you a few years back where AMD was going (shoulda bought stock then too).

I believe the 3950X has higher IPC than any Intel cpu but we haven't seen anything official it's simply using numbers based off the 3800X and 2700X.

DOubt it. I still think Intel will win any Single Core IPC contest with AMD.

Then again, 1 or 2% better than AMD doesn't really mean anything.

I'm just excited that Intel is finally gonna be pushed to lower their prices.

I didn't trust the players. We just went through the same promises from them 4-6yrs prior with Bulldozer and no ideas on their next ARCH on the graphics side.

I'm still "concerned" about the graphics business at AMD. Concerned might be the wrong term here, they just won't have an open field with nVidia like they had with Intel.

The CPU business we knew would come around and be "competitive". I don't think anyone thought it would be like this, with AMD on the brink of domination.

But who would have predicted Intel to literally stop innovation on their process tech after Sandy Bridge? Then once they decide to start progressing again, Intel fumbles not only their new process tech, but the new manufacturing tech! So now you aren't set back 2yrs, but 4yrs.
