It feels like Intel went to the same school of pricing as Radeon where they could price their products to be really competitive but instead, outside of one or two products, the rest of the line up looks meh-awful.

If Intel priced the i9 11900k around $450, then the i7 11700k around $350, they really would be the go to CPU for anything below a 5900x which is the biggest CPU market out there. Instead you have an i5 where the pricing is really good, an i7 where the pricing is pretty meh and an i9 where the pricing is terrible. And then you look at their 10th gen street price, it's like. You either go AMD or you 10th gen if you want high end Intel for a good price.

Considering Rocket Lake is about 30% larger than Comet Lake despite having 2 less cores, they had to unless they wanted to reduce their margins, which the investors wouldn't have liked at all.
