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.

Most of AMD's gains seem to have come from improved latency in Zen+.
Zen2 should be interesting, that's for sure.
