I'm genuinely excited that AMD seems to have righted the ship on this one, I've extremely fond memories of the Duron/Athlon days when AMD was eating Intel's lunch which made the market more competitive and dropped prices.
The Ryzen 5 is looking like a strong contender for my next home build.
- NaliSauce 10y agoRyzen looks really promising, but I'll wait for naples since I want the additional PCIe lanes (and cores). All in all I am really happy with AMDs comeback - finally some competition.
- yborg 10y agoMuch of AMD's 'comeback' is courtesy of Intel resting on its laurels and collecting rent. It will be interesting to see how Intel responds.

- agumonkey 10y agoI'm so happy they're back on track I'm even having thoughts of sending them money. Just because they proved the possibility of good design without the latest transistor processes; and are putting a healthy dose (just a healthy dose) of competition in the market.
- hbosch 10y agoI too have a soft spot for AMD. I remember how excited I was as a kid when my Dad told me he had just got a new AMD Thunderbird... A whopping 1.1 GHz chip that "ran circles around the Intel". That, and our new broadband, and my Voodoo gfx card was how I started gaming.
