There is a ton of clickbait potential in Ryzen anything right now, and quite a few people are cashing in like crazy.

AMD has a very dedicated fanbase, but because they've been on the defensive for years they've built up a "siege mentality". Now that they're finally competitive again they're just going nuts.

Reviewers who put out Ryzen reviews that were perceived as less than ideal were getting death threats, and obviously the positive attention from people who were praising Ryzen as the second coming was just as intense.
