AMD Cuts Ryzen 7 Prices, Readies Threadripper CPU Lineup
- ramshanker 9y agoNow let's wait for Intel. On Intel pricing strategy, it feels strange that Intel doesn't reduce the price of older chips once new ones are announced.
- geezerjay 9y agoAt this point in the short term, what Intel does and says is irrelevant. All they can do is cut prices on their current offerings, but their current offerings at best take second stage. AMD is presenting a series of very interesting products which are a quantitative and qualitative leap ahead of what has been in the market for years, and are offering them at very interesting prices, and Intel can do nothing to change this. Perhaps in the medium or long term Intel can do anything to change this, but right now the only thing that matters is AMD and the company's new product lines.
- rincebrain 9y agoI wouldn't be especially surprised if they just added more slack for sufficiently large customers to negotiate against. I was going to say I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the pricing for vendors without changing the suggested retail price, but no, that would rapidly ripple across the marketplace as soon as one vendor cut the price.
