Intel has a Pretty Big Problem..

[MikeTheNative]

Sod it... jumped on some intel shares.. it appears to be the time.. the time to watch me lose money

Past few days there has been one of the hall of fame posts on reddit.
Someone got 700k inheritance a few weeks ago and spunked 600k on it on intel shares.
I think they have lost 500k

If you actually read back the posts leading up to mine - I wasn't making a recommendation - it was commentary that for gaming if people have reasonably recent CPUs as mentioned like the 12700 that you don't really gain much upgrading to anything currently.

The 7800X3D is considerably overhyped though in my opinion even purely gaming, unless doing e-sports 1080p high refresh stuff, its gains are at resolutions and settings which most people won't be running when paired up with something like a 4080/7900 or 4090, and can't stretch its legs at lower resolutions when paired up with slower GPUs, while it falls well behind when it comes to anything non-gaming.

Here for example is another source showing a typical gaming scenario at 1440P:

But it’s ROLF stomping everything.

You do actually gain a lot upgrading from a 12700, the 12700 is not a great price of hardware. The only workload I see any gains from is if I’m working with large compressed files, but Intel aren’t ROLF stomping AMD at anything.

They shot the load prematurely... clearly... It's possible I have done the same but my investment isn't 600k

$800k inheritance from a family member, put 100k in a savings account and then dropped $700 into intel, that same day the share price dropped and his investment was worth around $496k XD

Spoiler

Damn right took those qualcomm gains and piled them in... this time next year rodders we might make our money back

 

[humbug]

For anyone who are still set on going Intel, used prices are heading in the right direction lately.

13900k being sold for less than £300 and 14900k for less than £400.

You joking? no one should be touching these things used and £300 to £400 is over priced for any used CPU.

This issue is not yet reflected in the share price, what do you think will happen once share holders get wind of this and all the class action lawsuits piling up at Intel's door?

I'm suspecting that you are wrong... the market spoke! Plus with Pat at the helm nothing can possibly go wrong from here.

Oh now i get ya...

Excellent

I mean I don't want you to lose money and of course buy low - but what a state Intel us in now. Still they can't go any lower, surely.
They are down another $1 or 5% pre market today but 2027 - who knows

priceless

News has already been in the share price for months/weeks, wish i had shorted intel back in december.

Accelerators, accelerators, accelerators! Pat rips shirt off and runs around Intel HQ screaming VMware for everyone with a million dollars!

To be fair, the chap has done about as well as anyone probably could. Intel was run into the ground by accountants under Bob Swan. It’s going to take time to undo the mess at Intel as clearly the cupboards were left bare and desperate measures needed.

Dont know what to do...

I have a brand new 14700k processor that I never got around to installing on a returned Z790 motherboard, its still sitting new in box but its way pass the returns window.

Not sure if i just abandon the setup and sell at a loss and move to AMD new Ryzen when it drops or wait until Intel updates to confirm if my CPU part number is one that affected.

I am looking at upgrading from my current intel (4930k) to a newer platform, I was considering Intel, but I think for price to performance i'll go AMD.
The question is, I will be doing quite a bit of virtualisation on my PC when not gaming so I was wondering for that use case if the Ryzen 9 7800X3D would be worthwhile for the extra cores/threads?

Ryzen 9? Did you mean to type 7900X3D instead of 7800X3D?

If plan on short term, run it, overclock it… sell it on. But then you will have the problem of users scared of buying used 13/14th CPU’s later on.

For long term, severely down clock it and run it.

You are not going to change the mindset of some people/buyers. Good luck to the suckers who are buying them now on the bay.

The sellers are the smart ones haha.

AMDs dodgy etching strikes again. Recall incoming!
