Intel Could Fight off AMD Ryzen 5000 just based on lower prices
You all will have noticed that AMD's Ryzen 5000 is seeing a pretty significant price premium, all processors have gotten an uplift of 50 USD per proc seen over the current generation. And that opens up a competitive windows for Intel.
Intel would be willing to engage a fight with its Rocket Lake-S processors. A new leak (and it is just that) indicates that price could be a key competitive factor for the next generation of CPUs.
Leaker Raichu shared information on upcoming Intel processors on Twitter. He indicates that both the Core i9 and the 11th generation Core i7 will arrive with a configuration of 8 cores and 16 threads. The most important data he mentions is price: it seems that we will have an Intel Core i7 with a cost below $400 dollars. He indicates that the price could settle around $349 or $379, a significant difference compared to the $449 that the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X costs.
On the other hand, the Intel Core i5 would have 6 cores and 12 processing threads for a price below $300, being a direct competitor to the Ryzen 5 5600X that costs $ 299. Of course, this should be considered as a rumor, and as such the information should be treated like that.

I know AMD needs the money... but they should lower prices a tad just to make it harder for Intel, people are already not liking the AMD prices and its not even released yet.
Too many years with the "budget" badge, you cant change that in one release, even more when the competition will throw prices to the ground to maintain market share and AMDs products are seen more expensive than they really are.
Intel can undercut AMD into oblivion like before. This is not about AMD, but about customers who are to make choice which will affect future products.

Customers are about to face a decade of terrible economy and probably hardship in many if not all the countries. Throwing less money in their hobbies will be important. AMD should know that.
