To be fair, since they released Ryzen, AMD has been able to offer amazing performance at, usually, a fraction of the cost compared to what Intel wants us to pay, for just a little more performance. So, unless you were starved for single-threaded performance, AMD could have easily been the better choice when upgrading in the past two years, especially since their multi-threaded performance has been quite competitive, overall.


However, it recently dawned on me that, unless AMD changes something with the release of their X570 chipset, they won't be able to offer me enough PCIe lanes, and so I'll either have to wait for Threadripper, which won't be here until later this year, or just stick with Intel for the time being. If AMD's 7nm performance is better than Intel's Skylake-X refresh, then I may just have to stick with my current 6950X for the time being, which isn't the end of the world, but I was hoping to clean out my water loops at the same time I upgraded.
