A few days ago we were already talking about how good or bad it could sit Intel the fact that in AMD they had not only presented a series of new processors capable of being at the height of the most powerful units that the company has on the market today, but also, to make matters worse, the prices at which AMD had planned to launch them, he exposed them in a very striking way.
We have not had to wait too long to know the reaction they have had at Intel since the company has just announced significant discounts in almost all of its processor catalog. The tactic seems to be to try by all means that all its clients, both domestic and professional, continue to trust the brand, although, knowing how the market is, the sales may not be enough for a large part of these clients.
Intel considerably reduces the price of all its processors i3, i5 and i7 before the arrival of the AMD Ryzen.
As a detail, tell you that the models do not all have the same sales although it is true that in some specifically these can be up to $ 300, of course, we are talking about the most expensive units, which today are only accessible by customers who will use them for a much more professional and dedicated market.
As a negative part of this whole matter, it is worth noting that it is not known if these discounts will reach all the markets worldwide where Intel works or are only for the United States or if they will be temporary or will be maintained, the truth is that they are already active , something that makes it clear that Intel feels the pressure of a job well done this time by AMD, which will launch its new Ryzen physically the next day Winners will be announced in March.
Finally, tell you that just below these lines I leave you with a link where you can see the prices at which Intel processors are sold today in the main distributors with the discount included. It is especially striking, for example, that, despite it, Intel Core i7-6900K still have a price of U.S. dollar 999 while its main rivals from AMD, the Ryzen 7 1700X will hit the market for just U.S. dollar 389. Obviously, we are talking about the highest ranges since, in the lower and most common zone in our personal computers, for example the Intel Core i7-7700k stands at $ 299 while its direct competitor, the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 x will start at $ 259.
