Thats why I based all my recent rigs on AMD Ryzen processors - unbeatable in price / performance ratio compared to Intel.
If I had to build new rigs with the latest tech I would go ryzen, no question about that.
Opterons are doing pretty well too.
edit: sorry for the OT, i7 thread...
But too bad that no ryzen mobo supports more pci-e slots yet... Or maybe there is but I don't know?
