Most of these articles came out around the time the Ryzen blender test vs the 6900k happened yeah?
That was the point where they knew the heat was on

the oldest articles i could find are dated dec 13-17 2016 so meh... that can't be a factor here. There was a pretty damn big gap between haswell-e and broadwell-e compared to broadwell-e and skylake-x.
But not unlike the gap between previous extreme edition launches
It still seems oddly prompt to me considering what a paradigm shift it is vs older generations of enthusiast platforms

lol ok whatever makes you feel better about your hatred

I mean come on.. i9? You know we'd still be doing the same old song & dance as always if not for Ryzen, and they'd be following their previous 'efficiency first' roadmap that prioritizes inserting the jewcock into the anus of consumers above all else.
