I think the biggest problem othre than the price will be AM4 boards and the Bristol Ridge/Zen CPU line up.

That there is the thing, if AMD get things right they will "fingers crossed" come with a knockout blow to Intel. cheaper motherboards, cheaper CPU's at comparable performance and the same/lower power usage for the lower prices and they will be on to a winner.

They just need to then convince people that the Ryzen is better than the i5/i7 at a consumer level.

Agreed pricing is way to high, just wait for the 7700K £350 launch price. Bad times..

If Intel do this then they are absolutely stupid, atm all I am thinking is how good second hand stuff is these days!

When released and benchmarks come out if it is any good people will know, also the ones that buy laptops and tablets will get AMD because it will be cheaper than the competitor as the OEM will not want to spend more on Intel for similar performance etc.

The i7-6700K is actually cheaper in the UK then (ex VAT).

The dollar amount hasn't changed.
The pound amount has because of our exchange rate.

It would be even cheaper for us.

It's more pounds than it is dollars comparing amazon.com to overclockers.

Yes but, sadly, OcUK is rarely among the cheapest available. Compare that Amazon.com price to the actual UK equivalent. US = $325 = £263. UK = £250 (ex VAT).
 
Wow that looks awesome, an i3 that any idiot can make run at 4GHz+ and it only costs £150? Never in history have we been so blessed!

Just goes further in hand that it's not an Intel induced problem as regards pricing then :p

It's the stagnation that has got most ppl irritated with Intel and which is an Intel induced issue. 4 cores releasing around the same price since Sandy. Tolerable, but when combined with GBP some customers less happy to let slide what is clear lack of progression.

It actually started with Lynnfield (seems to be easily forgotten these days). Sandy Bridge was a good improvement on Lynnfield, which is probably why most people forget about it, but Sandy Bridge was also more expensive.
