Intel Killed their OWN Product Lineup - Core i9 vs Xeon

With core counts ever increasing in desktop CPUs, the question has to be asked: Do you even NEED an HEDT CPU anymore?

*AMD did really well.*
They might have saved the gaming community from being stuck for a decade in the Intel sandbox game.

Thx. dear AMD engineers !

The only thing Intel will listen to is lack of sales.

[InDreamsYourMine]

"What happened exactly" AMD's Ryzen is what happened.

[gmrs]

Boots advertised by a guy in sandals... OK
Marketing done right

[aissaouimahmoud]

intel fanboys even if you hate AMD dont forget that AMD helps you to get more cores and best performance out of your cpu

[MaggieLeeow]

Intel: ok linus







Makes cpu 3x more expensive

AMD did so well intel committed suicide

My almost 5 year old i7 4770k is still going strong. Will update in 5 years

[mobddd]

I am still rocking i7 4790K, my next build will be with AMD with zen 2 next year. honestly im tired of intel and nvidia pricing.

2008 Intel we have a 4Ghz 80 core Cpu in the lab which you’ll see in a few years time .... 11 years later 4-8 cores .

I hope AMD can cause a similar amount of disruption in the GPU market. Would be great for consumers

Lol my friend got mad because he got a gaming PC for Christmas but it didn't have the specs he wanted. The PC he wanted was a pre built that had an i5 8400 8gb of ram and a GTX 1060 3gb. But the one his parents bought has an r5 2600 16gb of ram and an Rx 580 8gb. This kid was devastated. I tried to reason with him and tell him that the specs are similar and in a lot of ways better ie more ram, vram, and threads but he wouldn't have it. It just goes to show how well Intel has drilled it in people's minds that Intel and Nvidia are the way to go for gaming. But come Christmas day when he downloads and plays a bunch of games hopefully he will forget all about it.

PLEASE include "compilling code" in your benchmarks. It's a task that benefits from multithreading in a way that few others do, and where more cores always equals better results. Compiling Unreal Engine 4 is a very good benchmark for this.

[kumbaj]

watching this in end 2019...man...amd has gone far

[Valhalla_Awaits]

When your monopoly goes to shit and you have to actually work for the first time in 15 years...

[thelastcube.]

I'm waiting for the day RAM prices go down again so I can feed it to my chrome/firefox

Linus DROPS bombs on INTEL's logics

[Smitty]

At least they’re screwing themselves and not just their customers anymore

Intel: The Empire

AMD: Rebel alliance
