I like intel chips.

I'm hard pressed to believe that the latest Ryzen chip could compete on a professional overclocking level with the latest intel chip. If you're into that sort of thing. Like those competitions where they push these chips to their absolute limit with liquid nitrogen and shit.
I'm also highly upset with how the pc hardware market makes improvements. One company takes 1 step forward and that forces another company to take 1 step forward. None of them are releasing the real behind the scenes hardware. They're just edging us on to push stock so they can do it all over again. I think the biggest culprit is the gpu market.

And don't even get me started on prices of 'old' hardware,. artificially being kept high. grrr
So you know all this will do is cause intel to release their just ahead of the competition hardware. Then the competition will do the same and the cycle repeats. Why don't we ever get the real stuff. I believe they have chips for 2020+ that could potentially be released to market today.
ps. I5-4670k overclocked to 4.0ghz here. pretty much the only time it cranks up to max on all the cores is if I'm encoding video. Air cooled with a Noctua NH-D14 it has never gotten to uncomfortable temps even in the dead of summer. Voltage wise I've seen no issues so far.
Also I sometimes use intel's quick sync. So yeah.. Amd doesn't got that!
