Wait. It should be a good chip performance wise, and great value for the money, too. Also, the more we put pressure on Intel, the better it is for everyone in the long term.
This. Waiting will mean you have a choice of architectures and it is looking like this architecture may pull the Intel prices down too. Used to be Intel's top of the line desktop CPUs were all under $1k because of the amd competition. You can make a better price/power/performance decision with the new competition. At least I hope it is new competition. Unless you need more compute immediately I would wait. Intel's improvements price and performance wise have been lackluster the last couple of years since they are well ahead of AMD. Competition can only improve things.
