(&amp;lt;- that deserves a downvote!)&lt;p&gt;From my lofty perch in my armchair, I consider that from Intel&amp;#x27;s perspective that Ryzen 1st gen was cute. Ryzen 2nd gen was getting a little closer to home, but still didn&amp;#x27;t really pose a real issue. Ryzen 3rd gen? It just took a giant dump all over Intel in multithreaded workloads up and down the Z390 SKU&amp;#x27;s and took a seriously devastating shot at X299...without AMD&amp;#x27;s 3950X even being available yet. Even where Intel wins, it doesn&amp;#x27;t win by far enough to crow much.&lt;p&gt;The strange new day that dawned on 7&amp;#x2F;7 was a good one. As someone who built his first machine on a K6-2 333Mhz chip and his last on an FX 8350, long may it continue.&lt;p&gt;* The other pleasant surprise this weekend was Navi. Better than expected performance. Surprising reduction in power draw. Nicely priced (thanks Super!). Pity that they still haven&amp;#x27;t gotten over the space heater blower design. Hint guys: it doesn&amp;#x27;t work. Much cooling...little problem.</text></comment>

Athlon64&amp;#x2F;X2 also totally destroyed Intel but Core architecture arrived before AMD was able to grab more market share.</text></comment>
