Then again, a lot of new games are GPU heavy, So really, I think I will stick with intel and nvidia for the foreseeable future.
AMD lost the ball a long time ago in my book, And I was an ADD fan, back when AMD really was a rival to intel, and AMD processors were all the range and were equal better then intel for a lot less money.
But AMD has lost it, some of their chips have failed to impress over the years. the Bulldozer one springs to mind.
The other issue is with the instruction sets, SSE 4.X, AMD falls behind in that, and for quite a few games, the latest version is needed, and AMD CPUs lag behind and the game will crash. Sometimes its can be fixed.
I think AMD have lost focus, they clearly had their eyes on the mobile market, and give a two finger salute to the desktop market in recent years. for that reason, I don't see why I should give AMD my trust again.
And again, its more then the CPU that matters, its only part of the story.
So anyway, I think I will pass.

seems to be a mixed bag for gaming, performance with a geforce 1080, is slower in some cases, faster in others. Also seems the early MBs need some tweaking, and possibly a bios update. all in all, intel are still ahead by a fair margin. Looks like the new AMD chip doesn't cut the mustard.
on the other hand, video editing, and other CPU demanding apps, will certainly be good for the chip, but for gaming, not a good choice at all.
