Speaking of Blizzard: What happened to Overwatch 2 btw?

Blizzcon early next year.

Good question. Maybe they scrapped the idea, given that it wouldn't introduce many changes.

Or maybe it's because they got scared that it could split the players and hurt them financially.

The pvp version is not changing. All Overwatch players get upgraded to Overwatch 2 pvp. It is the single player/co-op missions you'll have to pay or could continue playing the pvp with the original copy. 

Yea dunno why they calling it OW 2. I guess full numbers generation more hype than just Overwatch: Archives Coop edition. 

Thanks for the reminding. I guess using the common "season" moniker would have been a better approach in this case.

AMD better don't get too comfy because they'll strike back. Intel is already in motion to do it:

Intel’s 11th Gen 8 Core & 16 Thread Rocket Lake CPU Benchmarked on MSI Z590-A PRO Motherboard – Early 4.2 GHz Sample Up To 21% Faster Than i7-10700K in Single-Core Tests

Yesterday, Intel officially lifted the curtains of its 11th Gen Rocket Lake Desktop CPU which will be launching in Q1 2021. Intel provided a high-level overview of the features and some specifications that its lineup would feature which definitely are their way of saying to consumers that we've also got something coming for the mainstream desktop segment. Now the latest benchmarks of Intel's Rocket Lake CPUs have leaked within UserBenchmark database (via TUM_APISAK) that show some huge gains in single-core performance on early engineering samples.

The benchmarks show an unreleased 11th Gen Intel Rocket Lake Desktop CPU. The CPU comes with 8 cores and 16 threads which should be the maximum core and thread count on the Rocket Lake lineup. The CPU also has its clock speeds listed at 3.4 GHz base and 4.2 GHz boost which are lower than what Intel has hinted us. According to Intel themselves, the Intel Rocket Lake Desktop CPUs will come in Core i9, Core i7, Core i5 flavors and rock frequencies beyond 5 GHz so 4.2 GHz max clocks are not even close to the final retail variants which launch early next year.
