why do you say that?

a 2600k can be had for 320 bucks and its better than anything AMD has and intel could sell it for well over 500 for its performance yet they still have it the same price as it was when it came out.

If anything the prices would go down since they would have 10x better yields and could make it on a 22nm process

remember AMD/ATI is paying someone else to build there chips,intel would cut the middle man right out

The sad thing is that at AMD's current market value, they could buy AMD and still have $8bil left over from their 2011 profits.

Stand-up Comedy: So I hear Intel is working for the US Mint now. Yeah, it turns out that Intel's fabs print money.

Obviously because if Intel bought AMD there would be no competition...

LOL there is NO COMP right now.

Intel own in performance,price/performance and power consumtion

intel is selling sandy xeons for 4500 per chip and the server would is where intel makes it money.

tell me something that intel is worried about from AMD?

intel has them in ever sector other than gpus

Yeah no shit sherlock why do you think i got a 2500k.

There is competition, its called AMD, if it werent there well... go do a bit of research on how much CPU's cost in the 90's before AMD came into its own.

No. Zacate is unequivocally better than Atom, and Llano is superior to Intel's low-end mobile line. Trinity will make that gap wider, and likely make Fusion the obvious choice on the desktop low- to mid-level as well. Unfortunately for AMD, they simply can't compete with Intel's process technology, and the economy sector of the market is not where the big bucks are made.

Why dont you do some reasearch on where that money is coming from.its not from your 2500k lol

Intel main income is the server market.

Amd has no server chip to compete and they had intel in the server market at one point with the first opterons....way back when amd was selling fx opterons for 1200 each on newegg.

Intels chips have stayed very close to there price segments over the years and amd had no real affect on them.they simply charge what people will pay fir them.

I don't get this logic. You don't get to remain a $50B revenue corporation if you price your products such that 3 people can buy them.

Intel is competing with itself, or rather the Intel of last year.

If the Intel of tomorrow can't field products that provide a compelling upgrade valuation then their TAM significantly shrinks immediately.

That requires two things, price and performance.

Price has to remain compelling, and peformance has to be much better. Otherwise no upgrade cycle - corporate or consumer.

Really we only have to look at Microsoft to see how a monopoly knows it must remain reasonable in its prices if it wants to maintain its annual revenue stream.
 
Intel is also reinvesting a large chunk of this money into the company. lots of it into R&D
maintaining the fabs is not cheap either

A lot of truth to this. a well cooled cpu chip can last for ten years.

so if the 2600k does not get beaten by the newer chip no one will upgrade.


I just grabbed a 2500k for 180 > I will not exceed the cpu for 3 or 4 years.

So I will skip the ivy bridge generation.

but if haswell has intel 5000 graphics and uses less power. I may buy that one.

Yep. I went from a i7 930 to a 2600k. 930 was fantastic and really had no reason to buy a 2600k. If the 2600k would of cost $600 I'd still have the 930. Intel priced it very aggressively and offered more performance, less heat and energy usage, etc.. I figured why not its a cheap upgrade.
 
Like idk mentioned intels biggest comp is intel.

They will push hard for the next gen ultra books and lower power draw but its hard for people to upgrade that are running a 2500/2600 cpu now.

There is zero reason to upgrade other than self braging rights.

lol i never said it came from my 2500k, way to misinterpret... I never said a thing about where money comes from actually because frankly i dont care 🙂 While you're going off on this irrelevant tangent about servers and profits im making 1 simple to understand point which you have totally missed. Without AMD around Intel would price gouge.

Wrong intel would not because people wont buy it.intel makes the chips and wants to sell as many as they can.

A 2600k easily beats amds offerings yet intel is charging the same as it did before it knew how well bd performed.

If intel wanted to price gauge they would do it now with the 2500k

And im pretty sure ivys will be cheaper than the sandys
 
Well, for what it's worth, I'm going from Intel to AMD for my upgrade. Buying a couple of Phenom II X6 1045T CPUs at Microcenter when I get the cash. Then getting a really nice SLI-capable mobo with three physical PCI-E x16 slots for $140 from Newegg.

AMD, as a total platform company, still gives you WAY MORE than Intel does, all things considered. And at a much better price, too.

Compare - Intel's premium consumer chipsets, only have TWO SATA6G ports. AMD's premium consumer chipsets? They offer SIX SATA6G ports, in fact ALL of their SATA ports have been upgraded to 6G. There's no reason why Intel couldn't have done that, but they're lazy assholes, re-labeling the same tired old PCH chipset for several generations.

AMD's newest chipsets, I believe, have USB3.0 built-in, Intel's still don't.

AMD's higher-end consumer chipsets, give you TWO PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots, Intel's only gives you x16 total off of the CPU.

AMD has CPU core unlocking, Intel doesn't.

AMD gives you 8-core CPUs (in the consumer space), Intel doesn't.

In short, I'm still rooting for AMD, they give you more for less $$$.

Gaming isn't the only thing that people do with their computers.

You can get a z68 board with
pci-e 3.0
4 sata 6gb,4 3gb
usb 3.0x2

K cpus are unlocked so I dont know why you say intel dosnt have unlocked cores.

you can buy a z68 and throw a ivy in it down the road and Im not even going to get into the overclocked headroom you would have on the intel setup.

you can have 40 slots on that board for your gpus but the bottom line is the cpu cant use that power and will bottle neck your sli/cf setup lol

Good luck with your build but I would of got a 2500k for a gaming rig

Gotta agree there somewhat, getting 2 FPS more thanks to my CPU on my games doesn't justify dropping an extra $100 when I can get 20 FPS if I add that amount to my GPU fund. Not to mention the AMD chipsets are fantastic.

AMD continues to be what it's good for, value. Unless you live near a Microcenter...
