They’re still pricey, the world is still scaling up memory production, and a lot of code isn’t yet built for AMD, but we went from the Wright’s brothers first airplane to jet engines in 27 years.
I’m not sure “it’s only a few years away” but we are sure moving there fast.

Nitpick: more like 36 years, from Wright Flyer in 1903 to Heinkel 178 in 1939. Still quite impressive.
