You say lol. But look at it for what it is. These ryzen chips when you look at benchmarks, single core, they are the same essentially as haswell. Multicore performance, I think that basically all Intel chips up to i7 are now invalidated.
Ryzen 3 is a true quad against the i3 dual core, which has hyperthreading, but physical cores will scale better.
Ryzen 5 are quads with hyperthreading, all of the i5s are plain quads. So sure, single core, amd loses that by a small margin, but multithreaded performance, those i5s will be eaten for lunch.
When you look at 6 core ryzen 5, or 8 core ryzen 7, those all have hyperthreading. Until you get to the i7 7700 or higher, where can Intel compete here?
Have you sat down and used a ryzen system? Mine does well. If in the next year they can get the ipc performance closer to Intel, and if oems, especially for business class systems begin to look at their CPUs, that is Intel's bread and butter.
Maybe you need a new supplier. The link above someone showed said they are the breast seller in Germany.
What thermal issues are you talking about? My CPU is overclocked on the stock cooler runs just fine. They had thermal issues on previous generations, but Ryzen has solved much of that. Time will tell and they platform needs to mature, but they are making great strides already.
Intel appears to be scrambling to release anything. They know what's happening.
I've used AMD for many systems including gaming builds, for the most part, people are happy with them. The one guy I can think of had issues with front USB ports or something not working, which I was able to get that sorted
