I7 9700k, intels last cash grab?

[faceman123]

I'm not an AMD fan boy, I know the title will trigger a few.
Considering AMD are pushing the envelope, especially with ryzen 3000 series, Intels 9700k, a 8 core without hyper threading? Which is Priced more than the 2700x. It's essentially an i5, the 9900k being labelled an i9 imo makes it easier to label the modern day i5 as an i7! Old habits die hard

Thoughts? Alarming to see **** like this from Nvidia/apple/intel. Thank god for AdoredTv exposing this.... Competition is always good, text book example.

Will people be jumping ship come may?


End of rant

Fully star out swearing.

How many i5s have 8 cores?

Sorry my argument was traditionally the same cores as the i7 without hyper thred for the last 7 generations atleast.

As if we're going by that logic the 6950x is a i7 10 core. Yet the i9 9900k has 8 cores...
