^^^ I think I detect sarcasm in this post.... 🤓

so intel still wants 50% more of my money and has 50% higher TDP, to do same/less than R7-1700. lol can someone show intel how to use a calculator to crunch numbers..

Last year I bought a 1-year-old 14 core Xenon for $350. This is B.S. I bought the 8 core $1000 5960X CPU and it has served me well. At these New prices, I can't see getting a $2K CPU. might as well just buy the Xenon equivalents.
