AMD has fallen behind Intel in the processor space in recent years, however in testing its Zen architecture has been showing drastic improvement. So far we know AMD will have an 8-core, 16-thread chip on sale.
Hoping they are able to compete with Intel with a CPU that runs cooler. My current AMD FX-8350 125 watt TDP pumps out the heat when gaming. My brother spent for a latest gen i7 and no where near the heat out the rear of computer as the AMD that I have.
While the FX-8350 4.0 Ghz is a cheaper solution vs buying Intel, its performance for single threaded programs isnt all that impressive. Friend at work has one of the AMD FX-9590 4.7Ghz 220 Watt TDP liquid cooling required, and he also complained that the room he is in warms up from the computer when gaming.
While better performance is of greater importance than heating up a room, it would be nice if they came out with a faster and cooler more power efficient design.
