Intel is slashing their multicore processor prices in response to AMD.

Sure, you'll be looking at non-ECC, but other than that, you'll be crushing the new iMac Pro in price to performance.
- rayiner 9y agoWho would use non-ECC memory in a box designed for content creation?
- strictnein 9y agoA lot (almost all?) of the people who are currently running hackintoshes for content creation. Since that's what the original post was comparing this to. Not a lot of Xeon Hackintoshes out there. Typically just i7s.
- rgbrenner 9y agoI didn't downvote you.. but is Intel really dropping prices? I put a i7 7700k in my pc several months ago (days after Intel released it... before AMDs announcement IIRC), and it's the same price today as it was then.
- strictnein 9y agoI guess it would have been more accurate to say that they're slashing prices on their upcoming multicore i9 line: https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Processors/Intel-Core-i9-Announced-18-core-Skylake-X-Kaby-Lake-X-and-X299 https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Processors/Intel-Core-i9-Annou... $599 for an 8 core processor, for instance. Last model, the i7-6900K, would have been over $1k.
