I'm not sure about all this, I really want to see it work but I doubt it. Intel had the market for over 20 years now.... 20 years says something

I don't know where did you get those 20 years but it actually was 11 years. AMD was kicking Intel's ass back in 1990s and early 2000s till 2006.

If you look on page one in this thread I posted a chart comparing market shares. In 2006 AMD and Intel were on par.

But still Intel had the monoply position

Maybe in some areas but in general no. I remember those times perfectly well.

So I haven't seen any activity in this thread. I saw some benchmarks where ryzen fell just short of i7 6900k, to which the youtuber said "Intel still has it for gamers" but... its half the price for very neary the same performance? AMD doesnt have to beat out intel if they can provide nearly the same thing for half the price.

Well check out latest benchmarks 1800x vs 7700k done by Linus Tech Tips with GTX 1080Ti.
There is not much of a difference in Gaming performance. Also, knowing that overclocked r7 1700 performas pretty much the same as r7 1800x then clearly AMD is the CPU of choice. Those 8 cores and 16 threads are just a big bonus too compared to 7700k 4 cores and 8 threads. Yet, we may see performance increase for Ryzen once Microsoft releases a patch for Windows 10 to optimize new architecture that AMD has. Some Linux distros already got patch for Kernel and the performance is much better now.

The performance is equal on higher resolutions where the framerate is limited by the GPU. On lower res, like 1080p, it isn't the same as the intels. Not a bandwagoner or a fanboy, just stating the facts.

Yeah but if I can get 90% of the performance for half the price...? AMD has always been about price/performance. They were just a lot closer to intel in the past than theyve been. I think Ryzen brought them back. I'm not sure if AMD ever really beat intel at pure performance, but as far as how far to stretch that dollar.. oh yeah

[Floppycatt]

I think the thing is you can get the 7700k for less than the ryzen currently. They keep comparing it to the $1000 intel, which is a valid comparison, but for only gaming, the 7700k is significantly better and is less expensive.

We got Ryzen 5 details!
