They cut prices, but that was not what I was saying.
They don't have to undercut AMD to sell CPU's if they can deliver more volume. They may cut prices for total $3 billion worth, but they start from so high profit levels ($21 billion) that they can outmuscle AMD financially and stay profitable.
- Fjolsvith 7y agoBut who isn't going to wait for their Ryzen when Intel still costs more and is riddled with performance issues.
- Nokinside 7y agoEveryone who wants to sell product with processors. Data center upgrades etc. Retail market is insignificantly small. AMD can win it but it does not matter in Intel vs AMD fight.
- snovv_crash 7y agoRetail market is where the developers are. Once you win developer mindshare, it turns into a trickle-up exercise and before you know it a single developer workstation turns into a datacenter.

- zanny 7y agoYou can only play financial trickery with obsoleted the h for so long and Intel's entire product stack is dead in the water except for low cost consumer class CPUs with the lowest realtime latencies in the world (and those are mostly used for gaming). At no price point are they competitive with AMDs offerings and they kind of cursed themselves with their legacy of inflated unchanging prices - they tear apart a decade of profit margin and consumer confidence to shortchange their product stack into staying relevant. C levels at Intel must still be dissatisfied with this outcome.

Intel is having supply issues, so they also have a volume issue as well. https://www.techspot.com/news/82415-over-year-later-intel-cpu-shortage-expected-last.html https://www.techspot.com/news/82415-over-year-later-intel-cp...
