Oh snap! If AMD continues to improve their Ryzen chips while keeping insane value price points, I realistically might jump ship to the red side. At least with CPUs.

To me this leak sounds just as real as the AdoredTV's NVidia RTX leaks from August (AdoredTV being the source of this AMD leak).

His RTX leaks:
RTX 2080 being 50% faster than the 1080 (actually it's more like 30%).
RTX 2070 having 7GB of VRAM (actually 8GB) and being 40% faster than a 1070 (also more like 30%).
GTX 2060 having 5GB of VRAM (while 2060 doesn't exist yet, I don't believe this at all, I'm betting on 6GB like the 1060).

I'm still a couple of years away from my next upgrade cycle, but this pricing looks attractive. I haven't own any AMD CPU since their K6 days, but if I can expect a CPU with at least 40 PCIe lanes which perform better than Haswell-E by 2020, then I'll be saying goodbye to Intel.

I'd like to go back to AMD because I really like their motherboard compatibility policy. If those prices are real and performance is good I will give it some serious thought.
