fumble...fumble...

It's AMD's last ever dig at intel with such a push

Let's hope this is like the days when Athlon XP was launched and they are fighting life and death with Intel to be the first to break the Ghz barrier.

Let AMD reclaim their glory.

Yeah... more especially if it is 90% of the performance and 70% of the price.

Not to mention that they are responding to Ryzen which means AMD must be poking at the right spots this time around

Yeah, 8-core for the price of a quad core. Single core performance good or not. Still mind blowing.

I don't think Intel is like Apple and AMD is Samsung or Google for that matter.

It is just that Intel needs AMD to stay competitive in the performance front of things. Without AMD, you see them veering into optimization, low power efficient processors and stuff. Whether it is just delay tactics or not wanting to spend money where they think they should be buying time. I don't know.

But, Intel needs AMD to push them. That is a fact. Used to be a fact back then, still a fact by now.

Yeah. That is the unfortunate situation although it looks promising as hell just from looking at USD to USD comparison between AMD and Intel.
