February 28, 20179 yr Author Allegedly, Intel are working on a 12 core 24 thread CPU in an attempt to counter the Ryzen processor lineup from AMD. But will the specs stand up? This will be a Skylake X processor.
February 28, 20179 yr It's not news, it's speculation. The original source says Intel *could* do this, not that they *are*. I want to see such a chip as much as the next guy, but not at Intel prices.
March 1, 20179 yr No doubt at 12x the cost of a Ryzen chip 1800X as well! Ryzen 7 5800x, 64gb, 7900XTX 24gb
March 1, 20179 yr Author Depends... if AMD are now a true competitor, Intel may be forced to lower prices.

They give rebates to their partners and put pressure on them to buy a certain number of product (thus effectively preventing them from buying from the competition).
