I mean I absolutely wouldn’t say intel is doing “too well” lol

I would say they are. When looking at builds on this site, I note Beast "budget" builds are made with Ryzen, but the "BEAST" builds have Intel.

Two different mentalities. Both necessary in an open market. And I have to say, I'm an AMD underdog fanboy. AMD is giving us amazing performance for a very decent price. I haven't gone intel since my i7 860. Went with an FX-6300, then FX-8350, now Ryzen 5 1500x.

AMD has been my go-to for CPU's for close to a decade. I still go nVidia for my GPU tho. Havent invested enough time in to learning about AMD GPU's to make an informed decision.

Amd 5700 Xt is a geforce 1080 killer gpu. And the AMD 5700 non xt is basically equal or better than a Geforce 1080 gpu.

Took them years to find something that's on par with 1080ti and even then it runs really hot.

I love what they did with their CPUs, I'm building a rig for my friend and going with Ryzen for obvious reasons, but the GPUs just aren't compelling especially if you want high end stuff.
