Little early for the all in on top tier AMD... they are delaying.. if it works it works. I want one as well. But to just declare AMD or go home seems misguided.

Well it's pretty much what GN has been recommending in light of recent Intel issues. And the above game developer is hardly the only one going this route. Multiple game developers and other customers who have had high Intel 14th-gen and 13th-gen failures have decided to switch to all-AMD. And who can blame them at this point.
