CPU: Intel likely to invoke price reductions in 2020
The recent Core X series already has seen a pretty dramatic price drop in the HEDT segment, a reaction to AMD, as consumers are fleeing towards AMD for that better price perf ratio. It's now reported that Intel will further reduce prices in 2020 to remain competitive with AMD.
The news was posted by Digitimes who learned from this new information from various points of sale in Asia. According to them, a plan in motion would have several phases, whereby Intel's partners who integrate the CPUs into their own systems as well as OEMs will be given priority and will first benefit from the discount.
So in that first phase, the system integrators can apply that discount, that also means for the desktop consumer market there likely will not be big changes (if any) soon. We'll see how it pans out. The recent Core X series nearly halved in price when launched compared to previous-gen products, perhaps the mainstream segment will follow at one point.

Now we see one example of how that "set-aside" 3 billion is being used. I'm sure AMD will be interested to see if they cross the line. This line is interesting...

Intel still the best for gaming all the way around. Im not one of those people who jump on the AMD bandwagon and act liek AMD are real Heroes or something. They are in buissness to make money same as intel and all of us deap in our hearts would do they same as they done. Looking forward to getting a 9900k

Lies.
*tinfoilhaton*
They are intentionally choking the supply chain to make it appear their products are in high demand so they can theoretically maintain high prices on obsolete products.
That only works for a while, until it starts to backfire.
That moment has come.
Lol, they can barely keep up with stock/production what are you talking about

The thing is, a lot of gamers are willing to pay a little bit more to get a quicker processor. So even if Intel drops their prices, if those CPU’s can’t match their AMD counterparts in performance numbers, people will still opt for AMD.
Intel needs to gtfo of 14nm habits and catch up to 7nm. Coz that’s what will help them gain performance in the end without setting the house on fire

Don't. It's a waste of cash and you know it. Your current CPU is perfectly capable, wait this year out and see what happens. Upgrading to 14nm is pointless, down the road core clock won't matter that such - core could will and it will be the most future proof approach.
Next year we may see something new from Intel on 7nm EUV, or (doubt it) 10nm. Slap on top of it AMD will release Zen 3 late this year/early next year.
