>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.

SKL-SP is the second disasterous launch in a row.
What's next, Covfefe Lake with a new socket?

No, people are just bored with core architecture.

Intel has nothing else.
There's no mobile P6 derivative to save them now.
And their new arch is chopping shit from x86 to "make it faster". Biggur vectors?

Epic memes won't change the fact that I'd never recommend Ryzen to my friends and family, or indeed anybody asking for advice online. You just can't be sure it'll work, with so many bugs and issues still unresolved. In many cases, the system won't even boot due to the platform's poor RAM compatibility.

Say what you like about Intel, but their products are reliable and field tested.

You are a walking Intel marketing slide.

I hope this bullshit backfires on them.

That doesn't change that there's nothing new in the core architecture. It's just rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. While Threadripper and Ryzen are all new. So they are exciting to learn about and report on.

Intel still has a ton of mindshare.

0.01 shekels have been deposited in your account, soap boy.

Where?

working for a bigger hardware shop so far build around 200 pcs with ryzen inside the only problems we had with them where like up until a month after release with 3000mhz ram but that is gone for a long time now....other than that we and our costumers never had problems with it.

>Where?

If you need me to answer that crawl out from your dungeon, faggot and look around.
