The Loyalty to AMD’s GPU Product Among AMD CPU Buyers Is Decreasing

I believe AMD's market share in consumer PC's is about to double or more with Zen, if their demo is to be believed. Their supposed < $500 CPU is on par in performance with Intel's $1100 CPU with a TDP of 95W instead of Intel's 140W.

Agreed. And with both lower power usage and ubiquitous support for ECC memory, I think we will be seeing a lot of them in server rooms.

If Zen ends up mopping the floor with the E3 and E5 Xeons I will be one of the first to replace gear in my homelab. The amount of money Intel wants for a second E5-2403v2 (a really weak cheap in comparison to my similarly priced i5-4570 in my desktop) to go in my ThinkServer TD430 is insane. Not to mention they're still gimping the memory capacity and PCI-E support of the low-end E3 chips, even though they can cost almost as much as a low-end E5/E7 with similar clock speeds (this part is extremely annoying for my FreeNAS box which is an HP ML10, I could really use support for more than 32GB of RAM).
