Intel to Cut Prices of its Desktop Processors by 15% in Response to Ryzen 3000

NinjaCool said:
You would think Intel would cut their prices at minimum today before the new AMD CPU's are out so its weird nothing has happened yet :confused:

Well why cut prices if Intel are happy with sales and so far no slow down in sales shall see what week brings but Intel chip supply is still a little tight so maybe they just see no point only time shall tell.

But I did say pages back it would be very rare for Intel to do an price drop on current parts as it's not the norm at all for Intel.
 
Do they have any new part planned for mainstream, in the next few months?
If everyone decides AMD is performance and value king, then they'll maybe throw the last ditch price cut at us.
 
how is amd going to be the new value king ? they have one chip that is so so price wise performance as fast as a two year old intel chip. the new mobos are very expensive. how does that respresent value ?

intel will only drop price if they need to. gaming they fine they already faster.infact if intel want to hurt amd they just drop the price while still being faster.

3600 CPU is the value they are talking about

How do you know they are faster than AMD? Have you an AMD chip to compare?

3600 will be pretty much stock 8700K speed, you don't need a X570 a mid range B450 would do, so for £300 you have 8700K performance, a mobo, and a cooler for £40 less than the Intel charge for the CPU alone. I'd say that's pretty good value wise...
 
Of course AMD is the new value king, how could they not be?

Intel is still the gaming king if you're running >60hz, but let's be realistic, that's a very minor percentage of the gaming market.

It would be impossible to recommend Intel CPU's at their current pricing to an average gaming build.

you seem to leave out the biggest part of having a 8700k the overclocking ! the 3600 doesnt really clock much so thats where the comparision ends. 8700k overclocked is faster than any of the amd new chips in games. if you not a overclocker then i can kinda see why a 3600 may interest you. especially if on a older board and dont need a new motherboard . its a good upgrade if you on a 1600x 1700x 2600x maybe. if just for gaming.

hoping they show overclocked 8700k vs 3600 in benchmarks not just stock.as no one runs a 8700k at stock. most do close to 5ghz. which is night and day difference.

Yes you get up to ~15% improvement from overclocking it. Whether it's worth the extra £150 is another question...
