RE: Why is EVERYONE buying this CPU??
LOL - remember this video, I had been an Intel guy for a few generations (in terms of system rebuilds) and was looking at the i9 9900k for my last rebuild, about 16 months ago. I asked some of my more hardware savvy friends to check me on this, and the unanimous reply was basically "go Ryzen, the numbers don't lie." So I went with I7 10700K and got 50% more cores for basically less what I paid for with my old CPU. Actually less, since I'd have to pay extra for a cooler for the Intel cpu.
So the answer was I ended up not moving to AMD
