Keller only came in April and thus probably is working on the next architecture after Tiger Lake. While with him it's probably going to end up great, it's still many years away. Don't forget he joined AMD in 2012 to design Zen, a full 5 years before it's release. Until then, AMD can wreak some havok among Intel's plans

I'm glad to see AMD doing well enough to actually start hiring again. Hopefully they hire the right people for the right jobs.

And of course Intel will have to face AMD with whatever they had in their roadmap for the time being, but they had to do that no matter the CEO, right? So it doesn't matter who's at the helm as long as he/she doesn't start messing around.

For now, Intel has the 9xxx series, which by the looks of it is just the same processors with a 100/200 MHz increase and the launch of the 8 core part.

Not so sure about the octacore just yet. For now, only the i3 and i5 have been officially announced, with most of them only being a 100Mhz base clock speedbump (i5 9500 doesn't even have that) and 100-200mhz turboclock boost.

This year is mainly a speedbump it seems, both at AMD and Intel. At least the speedbumps in the Ryzen 2000 line were a bit more substantial and the improved turbo now keeps the boost speed much better than before.
