Both Intel and AMD have been locking horns over the last few months, something we haven't seen on a competitive level for years now. We?ve had Ryzen and Threadripper go head to head with Intel's previous/current gen, as well as their new X299 platform chips like the 18c 16t thread 7980XE. Now Intel is back again, this time with their Coffee Lake Z370 CPUs. These are what I would call mid-to-high-end consumer processors, unlike the more enthusiast and professionally focused X299 platform.
