"they do have a lot of production issues" means they still sell every single processor they make. New computers are about 80% Intel and 20% AMD. Until this is reversed Intel will still be the kings. I remember fondly the age of Athlon 64 processors. AMD was a winner. On paper. Intel still beat them in the long run. And I say this as an AMD fanboy.

In the consumer space AMD appear to now be outselling Intel, in some markets this is reportedly by a considerable amount. This may be down to the Zen 2 release going well, and it's going to be interesting to see if it's sustained. I say this as a fanboy of neither really, and owner of both! (I'm really a fanboy of the re-emergence of serious competition in the space 8C/16T for ~$300? Yes please...)

  >(I'm really a fanboy of the re-emergence of serious competition in the space 8C/16T for ~$300? Yes please...) 100% this. The lack of any credible competition in the consumer space for intel really let them get complacent. I jumped to a 2500K sandy bridge as soon as it was apparent it was a game changer. I didn't keep it in the end as I wasn't really using it, so let my father in law have it for his video editing rig. Only now can I answer the question "Is it worth upgrading yet?" with a qualified YES! I personally have no AMD/intel bias (just happenstance that when I've needed to build a PC, intel had the best price/performing/overclockable part at the time), but I welcome the competition to not have a single supplier stagnate the market with 4C/4T consumer parts for nearly a decade... (currently have a R5 1600 and looking forward to a large range of upgrade options within the AM4 socket - though I am aware the forward compatability may not last much longer - but at least I'm paying attention to the market again!)

  In the consumer space AMD appear to now be outselling Intel Nonsense, AMD is only outselling Intel on the desktop sales which represents only 20% of x86 cpu sales. ZEN 2 laptops aren't yet released.

    In the consumer space in which people buy CPUs directly, which I agree is a minority market. Lets wait and see on the rest.
