Just read that the latest Intel CPUs don't even support PCIe 4. Currently making myself familiar with AMD CPUs. I'm gonna assume that Zen 3 will absolutely demolish Intel's high end.

You'll have to keep in mind that Intel still has an edge when it comes to gaming.

Also, Intel's Rocket Lake, that will replace the new Comet Lake (10th gen) Intel processors, will allegedly feature PCIe4.0 and are set to launch later this year. If you can wait...

It is pretty funny and sad to see. It's one thing to not have the core count advantage but when they don't even have the platform advantage, they really shat the bed. Although personally, unless you need a new cpu this year, waiting till Zen 4 might be a better investment in the long run since Zen 3 is supposed to be the last round of CPUs to support the AM4 socket. Next year should be a brand new socket and if that gets supported as long as AM4 has, upgrading the CPU down the line without replacing the mobo is pretty awesome.

No, he can't wait for Zen 4, and that won't launch until 2022: https://www.techpowerup.com/266316/amd-to-support-ddr5-lpddr5-and-pci-express-gen-5-0-by-2022-intel-first-to-market-with-ddr5

It's a different story if Rocket Lake actually launches this year. Hard to believe that it will when Comet Lake S isn't even out yet. And it's not even on a new node, so it'll probably suck just as much as Comet Lake.

I basically lost every trust in Intel to deliver anything competent.
