Even the first generation of Zen was not the low end. The low end of x86 is well below anything whose name starts with 'Core' or 'Ryzen'.

Ryzen came in the door at #2 in a market that goes well beyond #10.

The motherboard conventions aren't simpler, just longer supported.

AMD is doing impressive work with Ryzen, don't get me wrong, but they've already been #1 in x86 performance before, in the mid-aughts. Before and after that, their flagships were #2 in x86.

Well, AMD is marketing they have 20% YoY perf enhancements in the pipeline for the next 5 years. They also developed an internal org structure for developing 3 generations in parallel across teams. I would say AMD has high hopes because they have realigned themselves to being successful rather than the corporate rot Intel is suffering

Do you have any links to read about "developing 3 generations in parallel"?
