I havent catch one yetintel thread again. i wonder how many amd threads like this are made
New Core i5-9400F - 6 Core - No Hyperthreading so it doesn't have some of the security issues - £130
New i3-9350KF - 4 core with Hyperthreading so it has (and will have) worse security issues - £189
£189 for an i3?!!! Has the world gone mad?

Lol at noobs paying stupid money for crap unsecured cpu's that are about to be crap junk very soon.
No one does research on purchases, no one seems to look into things to see what alternatives there are. Ahh well fool easily parted with there money.

I was just about to buy a 7600k for my son's rig. He has a g4560. Glad I held off. Looking at 3000 AMD now.

i have a 6700(overclocked none k) and i will keep using it, but if i was buying now.. Ryzen or intel 6core
New Core i5-9400F - 6 Core - £130
New i3-9350KF - 4 Core - £189
No Hyperthreading (so they don't have some of the current security issues)
Thanks RavenXXX2 on the correction about the i3 not having Hyperthreading , i've updated the post to correct this.
Yeah , what other product has serious flaws and the price goes up , i can't think of any...

I see it on forums and youtube posts, folk still recommending intel, its just amazing - they must have huge buckets of sand to put there heads in.
I hope they keep it up so I can get maximum resale value, at least until zen 2 launches

No, the world is going ''da hell''... If only that was the problem... No quality, no one is testing the things anymore. No one cares, they just want you to by more and more and more and....
I still don't understand why people are fighting to get a new Apple thing as inside there are gues what...... A damn intel tech. And guess what its all made in China. Intel, in reality, does not produce almost any of the parts in the sold products, only assembling. They even admitted it in a couple of years ago. Giving money for the same quality but faster OS
And quality is the deal they sayd. Its like driving your new ferarry in a combat agains uncnown ugly car that outbeats you And probably the total cost to make faster car was 30 precent of the price for second handFerrari
