Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on this, I hope that 24 and 32 core CPU's for Socket AM4 / X570 chipset will hit the market soon :)
I think AMD shouldn't wait for Intel to catch up on technology to release new CPUs, now that they have the leadership, they have to do everything to keep it.
