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.

This is to be expected.
Price wars benefits the consumer. Stagnation is what is harmful. Lessons to be learned.

I believe it when i see it.
Right now you can only get a i3 for the price of the best R5...
It would be great for sure... but i can't see Intel cutting around 100 Euro on low med segment CPU.

IIRC...
Do you remember too?
Long time ago, intel was in same spot and financially damaged AMD through price reduction paid by people in the past which led to stagnant AMD.
Guess whose money enabled intel to do this again? Ours again.
Will you support innovation, or anti-competitive practices this time around?

Would be cool to see Intel as the budget option. AMD with all their cores might be great for productivity and lighter workloads. But for gaming, you don't need all that. You want the ghz and you want a lighter sprinkling of cores. A 8 core CPU is plenty! Especially with hyperthreading.
I'm on my Ryzen 2600x 6 core 12 thread at home running games at just fine and steady framerates (3440x1440 75hz) while also running a 4 core 12gb RAM Conan Exiles server in a VM.
