intel i9/x-series CPUs announced
Mr Queeba:
RIP AMD
Insert Name Here²:
Reminder AMD is making a Threadripper cpu which may have more cores along with most likely half the cost of the i9 so
Zloff:
enthusiasts: 4 cores are phasing out quick, if you're looking at i5s get a 6-core r5 instead
intel: !!!!
months later
intel: EIGHTEEN CORES THIRTY SIX THREADS
Nonnel:
I like the hold-my-beer-ism going on here.
Mr Queeba:
thing is, isnt amd still a better value
the 6 core 12 thread offering is literally almost 200 dollars more than an r5 1600, and the 8 core 16 thread offering is almost 300 dollars more expensive than an r7 1700
high end enthusiasts will still use intel obviously, but for people that dont have a metric crapton of disposable income to blow on super high end computers, amd is still the better choice
and also we're still waiting for threadripper
