Such shade throwing...
Look, I don't doubt that there -may- be some issues at launch. Almost every CPU has some issues that only arise when you get them out into the wild. Intel has issues. AMD has issues. Part of the issue with Ryzen at launch was that it was a brand new architecture, and the motherboard manufacturers didn't get a lot of time to work with the hardware and get time on them to fully work out the BIOS->CPU quirks.
This is a very different launch. While the chipset IS new, the architecture is NOT. It still is at it's core a Ryzen module, and they should have a pretty good handle on how things run. Will it be a picture-perfect launch? I doubt it. Do you think that AMD will allow people who are paying $600-$1000 per CPU to languish without identifying and correcting error and optimizing the AGESA microcode? Hell no.
Will this be an ideal gaming CPU? Probably not, but considering the base/boost clocks it's supposed to be running, it will be at -least- as good at gaming as a Ryzen 1700-1800. And since you could assign the streaming to anywhere from 4-8 actual physical cores and leave 8 cores or so for system and games, it should be more than capable.
Add in the fact you'll be able to run up to three 1080ti's in full x16 PCIe slots for SLI? It boggles the mind.
