And I think Intel forgot Threadripper is on the way.
AMD RYZEN 7 1800X going for $550 or better yet, RYZEN 7 1700X 8-Core $349. Intel's steep pricing may well boost AMD sales.

That's not main problem this platform of intel's is going to have.
Threadripper will be here in July as confirmed by Alienware's roadmap.
And they are placing as top 16C/32T TR on AMD's side. And 10C/20T on intel's.
Is that due to intel's high price? Or due to low availability? In either way from Alienware's business perspective, they do not intend to offer more than 10-core intel solution at this moment in time.

I still would go intel when it comes to building a new gaming rig or at least until the second Gen AMD cpu`s come out but that said it would not be at any price which intel still seems to think it can get away with.
