Intel Overdrive and the Future

>Ryzen 1800X is $499
ryzen 1800x is 420 USD now

Who the fuck would buy this shit when 1700 costs 300 burgers? We're not talking 1600 that's eating through Intel's lineup like there's no tomorrow.

So it might make less sense for anyone with a DDR4 system (although really, who has DDR4 and is upgrading now anyway, outside maybe LGA1150 users moving to 6c/8c Ryzen)

It's still definitely cheaper than Ryzen+Decent Baord+RAM
And most of the money goes straight to Intel's pockets, which is how they like it.

It really sounds like something Intel would go for.

If you have no system at all, then yeah why...
If you have an x58 or x79 system - it's a value proposal that Intel could bring to the table that would put them at a cheaper price than AMD, allow them to compete without further lowering the CPU costs (increasing them actually...)

>buy our $600 with lotsa lanes for platform that can't into NVMe
Can't tell if bait or plain retarded.

>with DDR3
PFFTTTTTTT
ddr3 wont allow the games to run at very high fps. It will massively lose out to Ryzen im all games right away.

>Buy even more stuff when all you needed was a CPU upgrade
>When most of that stuff is gear made by other vendors

Why would Intel care about what other vendors getting/missing out on - this is potential market for Intel CPU sales - where they can essentially swoop in and give older systems a dropin upgrade.

Why the fuck would you buy new expensive CPU without it's platform features?

>intel talks about dropping x86 as legacy and emulating it on pure x64 chips as tgeir next generation
>AMD will deny them x64 license after x86 is dead and buried.

1. NVME doesn't require a new CPU
2. Most 2 more cores, 4ghz stock all core turbo, ~upto 40% better IPC (Nehalem to SkylakeX)
3. Cheapest platform cost of all, since you only have to buy the CPU, you already own the rest of the platform.
