Crazy to see how power efficient RKL can be without pushing the power envelope, with the 11400. And honestly didn't expect Intel to outdo AMD in the budget/midrange for price to games performance but here we are with a 3600 beater on a new launch. I wonder if AMD will counter this and release a more entry level CPU, like the 5600 (non X). Who am I kidding they're making a killing off all CPU sales atm lol. |
Yea I don't think they will release a new 6 core cpu to compete with the i5 per say. AMD's pricing on both their CPU and GPU has been okaysh to meh. Imo, only the 5900x/5950x and the 6800XT have good MSRP. The rest of AMD's line up is a bit out of wack for the performance and features they deliver. If Intel was more like Nvidia instead of being idiots, they would take advantage of AMD's wonky pricing since they have the benefit of having their own fabs and still reusing 14nm. Instead, they are coming out with some CPUs (i7 and i9) that have even worse pricing than some of AMD's cpus.
But luckily in the mid to low end, Intel seems to know what they are doing and AMD's new trend of wonky pricing will continue. I think they will release a quad core part for $200 and call it a day sadly. Least in the normal DIY market. It will make Intel's i5 look extremely good for budget pcs.
