"In previous years, such cost-cutting would have been regarded as generous. You might, at a stretch, even call it good value. But that was at a time when Intel's monopoly on the CPU market was as its strongest, before a resurgent AMD lay waste to the idea that a chip with more than four cores be reserved for those with the fattest wallets."
"It doesn't help that X299 is a confusing mess of chips, PCIe lanes, and consumer-unfriendly feature lockouts that hint at a rushed launch in the wake of increased competition from AMD."
"With Ryzen on the rise—AMD might've picked up as much as 10 percent of the market over the past few months, according to some analyst reports—it seems positively archaic for Intel to price a CPU at £900/$1000, even if it is the fastest chip in the world. AMD has changed the market. What we expect now for under £450, let alone £900, is wildly different than what we expected just a year ago. That's a challenge Intel has to tackle head-on—X299 is merely a diversion."
Il pepe al culo c'è stato, se questo lancio di Intel è a detta di tutti una roba pessima e affrettata, fatta solo per rispondere all'imminente Threadripper. Quello di Ryzen è stato un lancio molto positivo, con AMD che per la prima volta da anni ha tolto quote di mercato a Intel. Ora come ora un'alternativa c'è, e non succedeva da quanto tempo?
