Intel halves the price of 18-core i9!
yesiree, 10980XE will be half the price of 9980XE
No doubt due to competition from AMD. Although I heard elsewhere that Intel didn't sell that many of the 998OXE, as not enough dies had full 18 cores working. Charge $2000 and that would dampen demand to what they could supply. So have Intel got better yields for the 'new' generation (still 14 nm)? |

So have Intel got better yields for the 'new' generation (still 14 nm)? Call me when it hits $25. This gives some background on the generation from last year. https://www.anandtech.com/show/13402...core-i9-9980xe ******* The most expensive processors in the list, the price on those is negotiable. And the day Spectre/Meltdown came out, you can be sure the spot price dropped like a rock. Nobody ever pays $13000 for the $13000 processor (only a "consumer" does that). https://s21.q4cdn.com/600692695/file...Price_List.pdf The cheapest processor now is $42 for a dual, whereas there was a quad in the list for $17 at one time (BGA for $100 tablets). But AMD, right now, isn't going to "race them to the bottom". The only time Intel isn't going to make a profit, is if they can't keep the fab running at 100% capacity. And Intel keeps hedging their bets. They bought an FPGA company (so they could make the $1000 chips in their fab). And they're going to make video cards - whether this will work, we'll have to wait and see. Paul |

So the mainboard would cost 4x as much as the CPU? |

So the mainboard would cost 4x as much as the CPU? They might as well just give those away :-) What's funny about those gimped processors, is I've never read a story about anyone using one. They exist in a price list and that's about it. You would think, if you had $40000 worth of memory, an $800 motherboard, you could do a little better than plug a $213 processor into it.

Now I don't feel too bad about buying *one* Lonely AMD! - When my last computer exploded (supply pole outside the building was struck by lightning), it was a "rush job". There were three or four general AMD classifications/iterations supported by the BIOS, within which, perhaps 20 to 50 processors might be subclassified within each type-classification I bought two, amid many, one of which wasn't a sound choice and was indicative better to replace, upon a more replete, conclusively studied manner from an aftermarket dealer in used CPUs located in South Korea. If fleas infest used CPUs in Ebay's habitat, then Korea is a further degree of pricing microorganisms. Core counts do actually help, I find. And not necessarily eight, twelve or sixteen;- Even in instances and applications where six can justify advantage over four cores. And where AMD is presently positioning six-core Ryzens, the price-point average is near to parity with a prior-generation sockets at respective core counts. There's a land mine type that was deployed in the Serbian/Bosnia-Herzegovina war that's designed not to explode upwards, but first to propel itself upwards before deploying unidirectionally. I think that's what AMD engineering meant when exceeding four cores for their early "flagship series", its first and better instances among the above pre-Ryzen/AM4 iterations. In fact, six minimally if not eight liberally -by some- is the new norm to cores. |
