nothing exciting here - Intel is still pushing 8 cores as its flagship consumer chip when AMD is releasing its 16 cores 3950x this month.
this is a very good reminder that for over a decade Intel tried everything possible to convince people to stay on quad cores so it can maintain unfairly high profit margin on its high core count Xeon processors.
- lunchables 7y agoEven if you hate AMD you have to be very thankful they are putting the screws to Intel. We need competition to drive innovation. And I'm just sitting here waiting for the 3950X announcement so I can upgrade. Which, by the way, will drop right into my 2+ year old motherboard. Meanwhile, in Intel land, there's a new socket every 6 months.
