who cares about console graphics, PC gaming is superior

Console gaming is superior when the title is only on a console, lol. I do enjoy my pc though.

The way corporates come in to make the developers to have them make it only for the console, makes me sick. The idea that we (PC owners) will go and buy a console just to play it on their system? Not going to happen. Honestly, if it were exclusively for the Xbox (for example), why not have it available for the PS4 and the PC, and increase your sales 3x the amount? Greedy and ignorant people far surpass someone holding a gun, if you want to compare who has a bigger threat.

Is 2016 the year when AMD is (finally) coming back?

Well the server CPU will (maybe) feature 32 cores and the consumer CPU will be a 16 core APU, atleast from the handfull of websites I looked at.

Next time try looking at history, trends, marketing or strategy.  PC Enthusiast websites tend to be somewhat narrow-minded on subjects outside their interests.  I'd trust a CERN employee ahead of websites filled with non-target audience members.
 
 
   For instance, dual-channel DDR has been a constant in the mainstream space for over a decade, regardless of core count. That will likely remain even as a dual-channel variant will have no more than 8-core-16-thread whether CPU or APU when applied to the consumer space.  Since AMD intends to put both FX and A series processors in the same AM4 socket, it is also unlikely they will attempt to compete with Intel's HEDT platform with quad-channel as it may cannibalize the dual-channel lineup. While the same logic would threaten Intel's X vs. Z platforms, they are a much bigger company and can afford to sell platforms at a loss for the sake of marketing exposure.  
 
I don't see AMD pushing higher-end ponsumer APU/CPU with more than 8c-16t on a different socket, i.e. hybrids of Opteron and FirePro and thus intention of their giant APUs, hence the slide by the CERN employee.  CERN is a nuclear research lab in Europe, they have use for computation.

It's amazing after decades of failing to produce, there are actually people out there that continue to believe the hype regarding AMD marketing.
 
AMD actually delivering on marketing hype is basically a white whale now. Good luck with that.

We have to a have a little faith in AMD. It helps keep them going once in a while.

Just to show you I am not BS you this is the Xeon at 4.4Ghz turbo pulling Physics Score 15094 in Firestrike  http://www.3dmark.com/fs/3959830
 
Also I checked and the i7-6700K needs 4.9 to 5.0Ghz to break 15000 Physics score in Firestrike and 5.2Ghz is the limit which will net you 16000+
 
This guy http://www.3dmark.com/fs/6982073 pulled 15047 with his 6700K @4.9Ghz with ram speed of 3600Mhz and he got
Physics Test
47.77 fps
to my 4.4Ghz with a ram speed of 1540Mhz
Physics Test
47.92 fps


 
So yes the old Xeon is faster then you think it is..
