They might just put the corresponding CPU's in at the same Intel prices.

or they might not as fast as intel cpus and the whole pricing stays as it already is 
speculation,speculation,speculation.

though we already know what ryzen can do in blender, and you can compare the live stream numbers to your own rig

Did she actually say that though?
Highly doubtful, they need market-share. Putting your first new CPU in years up at 1k is a sure way to fail.

It's almost like people forget the FX95's launch price.
And the FX8150 launched at i7 price while being well and truly inferior.
I place no expectations on AMD's ability to price incorrectly at launch.

you are correct - it would seem lisa su did not say it , its speculation
consumer i7 prices are a bit different to HEDT prices.

These are all consumer products though.
The FX8150 and FX95 were consumer desktop products.
OTOH, AMD does not want a price war. Why would they? Low on cash, high on debt.
As they showed with the HD7xxx series, when they have a good product, they aren't afraid to price themselves higher than the competition, let alone equal...!

It wasn't actually that `bad` of a cpu - although getting it to run @5ghz on all cores was an entertaining proposition.....
the 8350 is ofc the best of the AM3 bunch (but you can now get a 9590 for similar money)

They ain't going to sell anything at Intel prices.
Are Intel's and Samsung processes comparable? I thought Intel's naming was more closely aligned to reality than the other fabs. The other fabs can have a "10nm" process and actually it's closer to 20nm... (From what I've read; I'm no expert, tho.)

It was completely illogical to buy it at launch.
It was also always touted as a 5GHZ CPU, when it was 4.7 (But this isn't AMD's fault, this is just people and spiel)
intel design the processor first , with fab work coming in a distant second ; whereas with Samsung its the other way around.
but then again intel`s own 22nm isn't that either.
basically the front end of the new process is what is stated - 14nm , but the interconnects are at 20nm ; what's of interest is that Samsung 28nm is actually better than intel 22nm
