If nothing else, it shows great promise for the Steamroller, unless Intel comes out with something new that'd completely leave AMD in the dust at comparable prices again.

Steamroller (Q4) increase should be cancelled by Haswell (Q2) increase. Beyond that, I have seen indications that AMD cancelled future big cores. A company <1/50 the size of Intel can't be working on three independent architectures (ARMv8, Jaguar-next, Excavator).

The new thing that will leave AMD in the dust is the 14nm process node. AMD have no visible plans to go to 20nm never mind 14.

Either way it'd be really shitty if the competition disappears so I hope it doesn't get to be too big a difference, we are not talking about only 1 factor here, AMD is not only "VS. Intel" but is also "VS. Nvidia" so if they go down the shitter then we'd all be in trouble on the consumer end.
