Not here though. Ryzen is coming to the world, but not my house. Can't afford it. Ah well, besides the later I build a new computer, the later the stepping and more refined the process. Good combination for if you want better performance.
Anyway, so much of the news and rumors I have been seeing about it have been very positive, which I am very glad to see. AMD directly competing with Intel again, in multiple segments is a very good thing in many ways. Hopefully Vega too will directly compete with NVIDIA very well in all segments too. Sadly though, because of how the world, and some marketing departments work, superior products in performance, feature, and price can still lose because of misinformation, manipulation, and fanboy-ism. I think AMD will have an easier time challenging Intel than NVIDIA for that last point, but only time will tell.
One idea I had though, but I cannot predict when or if it might happen, is to do some Ryzen Return videos or something on (one of) my YouTube channel(s). The idea is that because some games are a bit much for my A10-5800K (but it still does very well) that if/when I have a more powerful Ryzen CPU to translate the higher performance to videos and share what the difference is like. Not all games would be worth doing this with, but it still could be a fun idea. Plus it would give me a good reason to return to some games. (Any reason is a good reason to replay a good game, right?)
For those of you who are fortunate enough to get a Ryzen CPU, enjoy it. I hope I will be able to join you before too long.
