I was loyal to AMD's CPU from 1999 - 2013. Price and not nerfing advanced features (overclocking, VM extentions) kept me coming back. However, there aren't many recent server/workstation options. So I begrudgingly switched over to Intel Xeon chips.
I bought an AMD RX 480 this year. I hadn't bought a discrete GPU in decade. I looked at Nvidia, but saw you needed Quadro/Grid to use with VT-d. AMD's GPU work with VT-d out of the box.
It'd be a damn shame to lose a company like AMD that doesn't disable features for marketing reasons. I'll happily buy another AMD CPU if the zen line comes close to the hype.
