Absolutely nobody is going to be buying the $2000 SKU. Let's look at the 8 cores, which are the new standard for basic desktop.
Intel:
$600 CPU
$200 MB
$186 memory (4x4)
===
$986
AMD:
$330 CPU
$80 MB
$136 memory (2x8)
===
$546
AMD is delivering the same value for half the price. Sure Intel can point to some ridiculous $2000 SKU that exactly 0 people will buy and say they're better, because they have no answer where it actually matters. AMD is absolutely dominant in the mainstream right now.
Your AMD bias is allowing you to make such claims that undermine your credibility.
Let me fix your post for you. "Not many gamers are going to be buying the $2000 SKU." That is much more accurate.
As for your price comparisons, you are not comparing apples to apples. You are taking a decent x299 MB and comparing it to a entry level AMD MB. I am certain there will be entry level x299 MBs for under $200. Compare feature set to feature set. Also, you can run Intel quad channel CPUs in a dual channel configuration (people do it all day in the server world). So RAM prices will be
identical.
I am happy AMD is doing well in the mainstream markets. Competition is great, as today demonstrates. Clearly Intel adjusted it pricing and top end SKUs in response to AMD. But your constant claims bout how Intel is dead just makes you sound uneducated.
