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.
