INTEL PRICE CUTS

If you had actually read the article it says that the RETAILERS are doing the price cuts NOT INTEL. Obviously because Ryzen will BTFO all of intels offerings so theyre trying to get rid of them will they can.

"Price cuts on Intel Processors"

Happy now?

And isn't that great?
Now people can buy a good processor for much cheaper.

Who gives a shit? Literally nobody cares who is allegedly behind the cuts, only that the price is now lower. This is what AMDtards have to resort to.

>>59134347
>6 cores are still going to be more expensive than r5 line, not to mention overpriced x99 mobos.
intel is finished

>>59134347
intel cut it's prices because the only thing that motivates them is FEAR.
They have zero respect for their customers in 2017.

It's not the 1990s anymore, intel doesn't exist in a vaccum and they can't make slimy exclusivity deals anymore without getting outed on social media.

>>59134347
>i7-7700k still 390€ everywhere
dumb animeposter

Intel cutting prices? AMD is committing another holocaust.

>>59134843
Sadly, the days of Andy Grove are far behind. I hope AMD keeps pushing so when I'll change in a year or so there's some competition.

When I do my next build(probably wont be for a year or two), its going to be AMD, assuming AMD is competitive.

>>59134347

And this is why I keep stating that the amd cult that harbors this place is nothing but a circlejerk of fucking retards. No matter what amd does, nvidia and intell can simply out maneuver them with price manipulation alone. This will effectivelly kill Ryzen, just like Nvidia fucked the Fury lineup by reducing the price of their gpus as well.

But do keep on behaving like demented cultists thinking that a company with WAY less money and research like AMD can compete with both giants and actually beat them at their own game.

I only wanted Ryzen to be successful so I can buy Intel processors at a lower price.

>>59134347
Just how much profit margin does intel have on these processors that they can cut 100-150 and STILL make profit???

>>59134347
still too expensive to not go ryzen

>6600k at 180
wew

>>59135839

They don't need to turn a profit, they just need to make sure Ryzen crashes.
Too late for that I think.

Damn intel is that scared huh? haha

>>59135839
They've been making 45% profit margin for years.

>>59135812
Ryzen has smaller dies and AMD has more 14nm fab capacity than Intel. Intel can't price their way out of this one short of selling CPUs at a major loss.

see the 1600x instead

>>59136041
If 1800x and 1700 lost to a 7700k, I don't expect an even lower one to beat it

@59136065
the 6 cores are binned, just like the 8 cores
and the game you listed measures single core performance
the 1600x is binned the best of the 6 cores and the 1700 is binned the worst of the 8 cores
any multi threaded benchmark would smoke your precious intel shit

>>59136002
>AMD has more 14nm fab capacity than Intel.
these lies again..
because 1 GF 14nm fab (that is being shared with other customers) + 1 samsung fab (again shared) is more than the many 14nm fabs intel has ?

>>59136160
Of course, even an 8350 beats a 7600k in multicore kek what are you going off about?

GTAV is one of the most multithread optimized, most CPU bound games out there at this point.
If an 8c/16t Ryzen at stock lost to a stock Intel 4c/8t, I don't see 8c/16t Ryzens convincing many gaymers.

>>59136018
AMD SHILLS ON SUICIDE WATCH

>>59136199
8350 doesn't even have full cores
it might tie the i7 in multi-core but thats about it
1700 including its low power and low clock speed beats 7700k by 40℅ in multicore

Holy shit, AMDrones on suicide watch

>>59134347
Lol too bad

wanted to get 6800k but now i might have just felt for the 1800X meme even though the motherboards are kind of worse than the X99 ones and the max ram is 64gb

>>59136271
If I wanted multicore performance I wouldn't have bought the gaymen-oriented quad core i5. I wanted core performance and applicable-everywhere performance

as a laymen..

person who has no in depth knowledge of the subject.

and as an unbiased consumer..

although iv only ever "bought" intel pc's.

with the price drop..

are the ryzen chips competitive?

>>59136251
probably not for more than 4 cores, that's why 1600x is a better comparison with the higher clock speed and it not being a mobile tier cpu

>>59134828

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

>>59134347
Why would anyone complain about a price drop? If you're into AMD you get the knowledge that Intel considers it a threat, and if you're into Intel you get to upgrade for cheaper or get to tell more people to buy Intel even if budgeting

>>59136693

1700 stock is 3.0, with a single core Turbo of 3.7, what the fuck is up with this shit?

>>59136795
I mean we got BF1 last year, that was really the only DX12 game that scaled well with cores, DOOM made a successful stand as the SECOND Vulkan based game, these APIs have promised a lot and delivered little
I'm waiting just as hard as you are for multicore to be relevant for gaymen

So you're saying I have to wait to see if zen is better than Intel core series?

Its actually really clever
Intel had all this padding built in for this moment when ryzen is about to come out, AMD claims it will be "cheaper than intel" and all Intel has to do is tweak their prices a bit to completely blow AMD TFO

>i5-6600k $240->$180

All right! Time for my broke ass to build a new rig. With a Ryzen ofc. AM4 is newer and far more future proof than Intel mobos. Something all you richfags seem to overlook about a totally new socket.

Also its still $230 on Newegg. OP is a lying copypasta dink.

>>59138185
>AM4 is a more futureproof motherboard
Ryzen is amazing and all but this is objectively wrong
The point is you don't need the extra features, you're paying for CPU performance over anything else (except RGB)

Nice discounts on the i5 6600k and the i7 6700k. Don't think any of the others matter. That said these to me are now considered old processors, but new Intel CPU's suck so it makes the discounts even better.

>>59136693
>3.4 vs 4.2
LMAO. Intel will get destroyed, no doubt about it.

> competition is good for consumers
> water is wet

>>59138253
As someone whos currently using an AM3 mobo and looking at having to upgrade mobo and memory and CPU and GPU instead of just CPU and GPU just to play Conan Exiles, I disagree with this assessment. Getting the newest socket and memory is a huge deal, maybe not now, but 4-5 years down the road when you can just upgrade the CPU and video card instead of building an almost entirely new system.

>>59138397
This. I wish I bought AMD back in 2009 so that I could have upgraded to an 8350 and stayed with that for a while.

Im still stuck with the i7 390 on LGA 1366, the best CPU for that socket type is literally a thousand dollar Intel "Extreme" chip that performs worse than the 8350 even though it has 2 extra physical cores.

>>59138423
Or you know you could get the $60 hex core Xeon (W3670) thats literally an i7-970 with a different name.

>>59138253
>Ryzen is amazing and all but this is objectively wrong
No, you're objectively wrong. AMD stated that they'll stay on socket AM4 until 2020. 3 more years of support. Zen+ chips will be on socket AM4.
That is a future proof platform with a real upgrade path.

>>59138423
Same. The AM3 chips are either used (never bought a used chip and don't really trust it) or way overpriced new because they don't make them since going to AM3+. Even the used ones are just shit when compared to new ones at similar price points. I could just buy a cheap AM3+ mobo, CPU, and memory with way more performance for only a few bucks more.

TLDR - obsolete mobo socket basically = might as well start fresh

>>59134347

Prices at newegg and Amazon are almost the same.

Micro Center has always eaten losses on their processors and motherboards to encourage builders to buy their entire rig there. This doesn't mean Intel is cutting the prices.

Micro Center also price matches so you might as well pick up your other crap there too. They make like half of their profit on warranties.

I'm not too bothered about ryzen as I have a skylake build that's going to be fine for a while, but what is really interesting is the potential for APUs now. Cheap gaming rigs that can actually compete are looking a whole lot more feasible.

>>59139106

>>59138489
they stated they would make a new socket when ddr5 or its successor was a thing, not sure what or when that will happen, but good chance it will be a good number of years.

>>59134556

This.

I don't care about AMD or Intel, I just want a new CPU for less money

>>59136756
because less then half the i7's can make it to 5.0 because of shit tmi, even then few make it over 5.

not to mention the boost is what 4.5, going to 5 is fucking stupid for power reasons along with heat, when the difference between it and stock just isn't big.

>>59136693
if this is legit it looks like Ryzen is about 7.4% slower than skylake per clock. so it's roughly on par with broadwell.

>>59139270
that's exactly what the r7s are aiming for, though
broadwell-e performance for half the price

>>59136891
