ITT: AMD apologists.

Sorry guys but Intel is still king of single core performance. But that's not a problem because I'm sure by 2050 most desktop applications and games will correctly make use of many cores, then AMD will reign

Worth responding to blatant troll to point out it's not about performance but performance by price for 99% of uses.

Or performance per watt in server land. Which is a metric that zen 2 dominates in. Very few applications truly care about maxing performance at all costs.

But, indeed, some do. They will provide as much power and as much cooling as they need to get that performance.

By 2050 we might well be more concerned with which rocks can be slung farther.

Assuming civilization will survive until then, given current political trends, is rash.
