Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Ryzen 5 1600X is slated to retail at just $259, while Intel's Core i7-6850K retails for a whopping $610.

Why is this significant? Because the Ryzen 5 1600X is slated to retail at just $259, while Intel's Core i7-6850K retails for a whopping $610. The two CPUs also offer similar specifications, with similar frequencies, 6 cores and 12 threads each, with the AMD processor having a maximum turbo frequency of 3.7GHz and the Intel chip of 3.8GHz.

Impressively, not only does the Ryzen 5 1600X beat the slightly higher-clocked Intel CPU, but it has a much lower TDP/power consumption of 95W compared to a TDP of 140W for the Intel Core i7-6850K, which should mean it runs cooler.

It's realism. Go read opinion reviews of AMD. Reviewers are saying they aren't on board a hype train and will believe in an AMD product that delivers numbers when they have it in their hands.

Price pressure on intel will be huge as AMD and ARM ramps up and all intel has is sad third generation 14nm. Next year all they will have is fourth generation 14nm as 10nm is a spectacular failure and a no show, late very late. Heads will roll for this failure!

Every single Intel employee, especially those in CCG and PEG/PDG need to be prepared for ACT2 come April timeframe. Get your CV updated and start an active job search NOW. You still have more than a month advance warning. Layoffs are 100% certain given this outlook. Don't say you weren't warned.
