I recently saw a deal on a socket 1150 motherboard, was about to pull the trigger to use to build a new system, and then decided to look up what 8th and 9th generation processors would be available for it. In the past, I've used whatever Intel had available for ~80 bucks, then upgraded with a faster used cpu 2-3 years later. 2 of my systems are Intel based, while one is AMD. All 3 are in the 4-6 year old range, so I'll admit that I've been more focused on portable Android for that time period, and not paying very much attention to desktops, since I had no intention of upgrading.
I was surprised to see that it would cost 75% more to get the same performance as a Ryzen 5 1600 from Intel, using a I5-9400F. Both processors give a CPUMark score of just over 12,000.
Both use 65 Watts of power, and both have 6 cores.
Anyone know anything about upcoming processors from Intel that might be more competitive down at a sub $100 price range? I really wanted that motherboard, but now I can't really
justify buying it.....
