It doesn’t but it allows them to have more products based of the same exact die just like i7s and i5s share the same die which reduces manufacturering costs.
That said it would simply mean that the i7 would become the new i5 and also fill the same price range quite likely.
They might run the i5, 7 and 9 in the mainstream line now and bring the i3 to where the Pentium line is currently is however I still think that this is quite likely a configuration issue than a new segmentation since the i9 is their HEDT platform now.
- gameswithgo 8y agothey already had too many products! you have to spend like 5 days figuring out which one is 1% faster than the other for your particular use case. choice is bad! :D
- dsr_ 8y agoThe good news is that you can ignore the 1% differences. Here's your new decision tree: 1. How much can I afford? 2. In that budget, do I need maximum instructions per second on one core or maximum cores? If maximum cores, AMD is over there.
