AMD on the move

Intel is finally going to face some heat after a decade of domination:

AMD also announced its Threadripper CPUs for the high-end desktop segment. These 16-core/32-thread processors will debut this summer, but the company didn't provide any further details. Pricing will play an important role, but frankly, 16 cores is plenty exciting. Intel's 10-core/20-thread i7-6950X Broadwell-E weighs in at $1,700, and considering AMD's Ryzen pricing history, we can expect a much lower price point than that to get more cores.

Software firms have to be able to take advantage of the cores for this to be a success. I've noticed that with multi-core processors that sell for over $300, the performance delta is simply too minuscule.
