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

At this rate it'll end up cheaper than the 9700K! ;)

Nah, cause if you use your Google Fu you'll see that the 9700K can be had <£350. Then there is the £199-209 9600K, so the 10-15% figure is looking more realistic every day, whether officially commented by Intel or not they are clearly doing back channel funding support. :)
 
Is it time now to quote the people (including professional in this industry) who said last week in this thread that the i9 won’t drop in price because « intel has no reason to do so », « they still have the best gaming cpu », « the supply is super tight already they can’t sell more than they produce ».
 
Well I've never heard of any of these places selling the 9900k cheap and won't be trusting them with my payment details...until I see those sort of prices at the usual places, the 'price cuts' are meaningless.
 
i think intel will drop them to the same prices across the board soon to put little pressure on amd they know they dont have much stock. that means many will buy intel chips.

Because of zen 2 you want a 9900k? Huh?

I didn't say want. But yes, some elaboration required It seems:

One could be forgiven for assuming that Zen2 was going to be problem free and a no-brainer over the likes of 9900K and 9900KS and thus waiting in anticipation for it's release.
But due to the poor and immature release of Zen2, it's limited stock, poor clocks, temperature issues and high prices of mid-top end X570 boards, one would be tempted to go for a 9900K build instead , which is a mature and powerful platform at a similar and sometimes better price (motherboard dependant).

This is coming from someone who has backed AMD Ryzen and still has multiple builds both personal and work implemented, and can still recommend it most circumstances. This is just one man's opinion.

How dare you even think about a 9900k, don't you know that Zen 2 absolutely wipes the floor with it and has completely and utterly destroyed Intel?
