I'm a long time AMD fan, since my first computer had Athlon XP inside. However, over many years I have been using exclusively Intel CPUs, because in laptop space there was no other viable choice(and I use Macs). Nevertheless, I always hoped AMD can come back and shake the market a little. After Bulldozer fiasco, I was skeptical about Ryzen. I would have never guessed that it will mark their comeback to high performance market. What is really surprising here is how bad Intel has failed. You would expect company with its own fabs, virtual monopoly on the market and loads of capital to be prepared for such a situation. Everybody thought Intel to slow down progress because of no competition. I guess very few people thought they are actually clueless and that's how the situation looks right now. Processor market appears to be something to watch in the coming years.
