Are you addicted to buying the newest and latest before anyone else?

Wait until they've been independantly benchmarked using recognised software. You could be buying a lemon.

On the other hand if independant benchmarking proves good the price will have come down.

Or is it a case of you've got money to burn?

As regards AMD v Intel, for gamers it's no contest and never will be Intel exist on that platform.

Computing (ie workload) AMD have the edge but perhaps not for long especially with GPU computing.

Waste your money if you wish but I'll wait for benchmark results and buy to suit my needs.
