Also watch out for AMD’s army of Neanderthal social media accounts on reddit, forums and youtube, they will be singing their own praises as usual.

Fellow AMD Neanderthal Army soldiers: any idea when I get my cool uniform and ...paycheck?

Zen 4 needs to bring substantial IPC improvements for all workloads, rather than overpriced "3D" marketing gimmicks.
