>what gave AMD the edge now?
Compared to intel 7xxx & 8xxx series, Ryzen chips has significant performance advantage in all kinds of tasks except for gaming at lower prices.
Threadrippers are even better, they beat intel's Xeons at a third of the price.
Also their newer Vega Cards are the best mining cards, beating Nvidia's xx80ti cards by a decent margin, but they still suck at gaming.
Sage for offtopic.
