>outsell AMD by sheer attrition
Ha ha wat?
There's like two Intel SKUs that are selling and are actually worth something.

Intel has been doing this for fucking ever, they have always been shit, console babbies are finally realising their e-celeb endorsed Intel+nVidia build is an overpriced piece of trash and jumping ship.

What. Did you not look at the article? There's 22 variants of the same architecture for Kabylake-U. Skylake-X has 58 variants across a wide variety of configurations, with shit disabled for some and not for others.

They need to keep releasing so many SKUs to meet demand. People want reliable Intel CPUs in their system. Ryzen is a minefield.

>7350k retails for 170 burgers
Why.
All these SKUs are fucking pointless.
They are not going to sell more shit due to having moar SKUs.

My mistake with the opening post, I failed to mention a word: attempt.

Intel is going to ATTEMPT to saturate the market with bogus SKUs so that people see Intel more than they see Zen, with a hope that this will lead them to buy an Intel product over Zen.

>Why.
Because retards will by an overclockable i3 even though a locked i5 provides better performance.

Yum yum.

All it's going to do is lead to marketplace confusion.

>that people see Intel more than they see Zen
AMD announcing pricing on TWO Threadripper SKUs created more hype than the entire jizzlake lineup.
Intel is fucked, they lost the mindshare.
