Do you think AMD going drop the bomb again?

Solution
i think it will come down to pricing in the budget areas. it will certainly be an alternative to the pentium g4*** series K sku
Who knows, for their sake hopefully it performs well.
I doubt it would ever match kabylake, they have too much ground to make up, but a powerful processor at a disruptive price will throw them into the next generation well.

You also cant say like always, AMD was the top tog for some years (a long time ago).

The one thing that has been telling in the comparisons that AMD has done so far is that all of their comparisons have been against slower clocked 6800 or 6900 CPUs and NOT against a Sky Lake or Kaby Lake CPU for comparison testing. Of course they are playing to their strengths of more cores thus better multi threaded performance.

We will soon see how this plays out in gaming performance when the testers get their hands on Ryzen and can test it against a Kaby Lake CPU in gaming performance. My guess is AMD knows it won't be as good in gaming against a Kaby Lake hence why AMD never showed that comparison.

That being said this is still a HUGE leap forward for AMD in the CPU market and is a welcome sight.
