Well if the consoles would kindly die already we wouldn't have any debates. We wouldn't have silly exclusives and powerpoint slideshows sold as "games".                                     

yeah so we can argue about which graphicscard manufacture is better, so much more exciting than consoles? I defeniatley take the Consoles exclusives over anything else exclusivley on PC these days.

Well first of all, we already do that and second of all, the majority already agrees that AMD is crap.

AMD is very sub par, but I wouldn't call it crap. Intel is miles ahead in CPUs and NVidia has the better GPUs right now, but these things can change.

The first preview of Polaris made NVidias current Maxwell chips look like gas guzzlers. Zen has the potential to close the gap to Intel and make AMD CPUs competitiive again. It may not be enough to beat Intel, but catching up after having got such huge arrears in technology, performance and efficiency is no small feat.

I wouldn't give too much on these "previews".

Of course Polaris looks good in comparison to Maxwell. It's a shrink, that's why it's more efficient. But Pascal is right around the corner and will put anything that Polaris does into shame.

It's always the same cycle. People get excited over new architectures from AMD until they realize that they are only able to barely catch up to the standard that Intel and Nvidia have been setting for years.
