Caporegime
I know, i have explained AMD are about to offer more for less that they did with Rzen 1000, they can't win.
TBH i don't care about those who doggedly stick to Intel, i don't care how high there prices are, i'm happy to use either or, whatever offers me the best performance for my pounds.
I also want AMD to remain competitive, for that they need R&D to keep up the good work they started, their CPU's are priced high enough i think to make enough money on them while still being significantly cheaper than the competition, so i'll be paying a bit more for my next Ryzen, but i'll be getting a lot more too, the price difference is less than what i'm going to gain.
I just can't bring my self to complain about that, i would feel like an idiot.
Plus you know what?? People can wait until pricing settles down,especially if Intel does eventually respond with price cuts or new models. People are so impatient nowadays. Stick to your budget and what level of performance you want and wait it out then!! I bought a Core i3 2100 back in 2011 when I moved over to Sandy Bridge since a Core i7 2600 was more than what I wanted to spend at the time(and there was not so much benefit for me either for what games and applications I was running),I then upgraded to an Ivy Bridge Xeon E3 1230 V2 and had the system until last year. It was cheaper for me to go that route than buy a Core i7 2600 at launch. I didn't upgrade until then since it was not worth the cost. I got a nice doubling of performance in some stuff I run which I am pleased with.
