Nice markdown so early in its lifetime. This one is for those who use multi-threaded, time-consuming applications for business (or pleasure). Its faster in multi-threaded applications and more "bang per buck" than the similarly priced Intel CPU.
Ryzen 7 1800X 8-core/16-thread does games and sometimes costs as little as $350 if one shops sales. Mine easily runs at 4GHz on all 8 cores all the time.
