That is not a concern. Ryzen is already taking the desktop market by
storm. Ryzen is not an Intel design. Intel excels in single threaded
performance and does very well in multi-thread workloads. Ryzen so far is
at least 20 percent faster in multi-thread loads at the same price level.
Naples/Ryzen is a serious competitor to Intel. Once compilers are fully
optimized it gets better. I have built several Ryzen systems and
compatibility is a non-issue. It it is x86/64 it runs on Ryzen/Naples.
