Just makes AMD and Jim Keller look even more impressive IMO.
This has more to due to fabs than Intel vs AMD. This is just a pure mess up on Intel. They have spent so much money on time they cannot possibly make as much money as they wanted. It is a very bad ROI for them.
The worry I see in the future now though is with Intel stagnant, AMD will surely rise and dominate. However, if there is no pressure or competition from Intel, then AMD will no longer feel obliged to push the limits of Zen, so our market will once again be incremental increases per generation. Only this time it is AMD with all the cards in hand.
As much as we all dislike Intel's practises. We cannot dispute that their architecture was good (excluding security flaws). We need Intel to continue their push for market domination in order to keep all parties competing.

yep 1700 is what I have 4Ghz doesn't break a sweat tbh and I find compared to higher clocked 4 core the difference when gaming streaming watching a stream and music all at the same time is where the biggest noticable difference is switching about is a hell of a lot smoother in every way.
People are so damn hooked on the 5ghz concept, I wonder why when it comes to gaming.
There is almost nothing gained over 4.4ghz. Except hotter and hungrier CPU. It's all about the GPU these days, and we can see that a 2080ti will still not bottleneck a 7700k at what I liked to consider as the new mainstream resolution of 1440p. And the 7700k is a few years old now.
4ghz with extra cores is the direction we should be going.
