Agreed - they've been releasing 3000 series CPUs all year so I wouldn't read any tea leaves based on this launch. 3300X and 3100X launched just a month ago and people weren't panicking then. They have the capability to manufacture more of Zen2 so why not do it. I'd imagine a "new" product sells much better than a few years old one even if its just a re-brand with a slight overclock.
- noir_lord 6y agoIt would be smart to capitalise while Intel is struggling because Intel won't struggle forever they have too much money and too long a history. I was around when the AMD64 was battering the P4 and then Intel came out with the C2D an architecture they are still using which gave them a decade of owning the top/mid in desktops, pretty much all the laptop market and vast majority of servers. Better to be out ahead when Intel comes back swinging.
