I think maybe we should look at both in comparison. To me, it looks like AMD caught Intel at their own game, so now, instead of AMD catching up to Intel, it is Intel catching up with AMD.  Apart from the fact that performance will be almost*** the same, it is just user preference.

And, if someone wants a Core i9, maybe they should invest into some Xeon hardware, no? I am, it is not like they just removed the iHD anyways, making it a good enough contender.
