Ah, I didn't realise the minutes were made public. Was it an AMD shareholder or a random youtuber that told you about panic-gate lol

I don't believe it for one second. Intel must have known they couldn't possibly keep monopolising the CPU prices much longer, as soon as any competition came along it would have the effect of slashing their margins and Zen/Ryzen has been bubbling for a long time.

I'm quite sure a 'Intel panicking' headline could quite easily have been started by someone associated with AMD too......they're obviously going to fan any flames and ensure that this sort of statement which actually surfaced on YouTube about 2 months ago would suddenly be brought into the limelight.
