Intel underestimates the potential of Ryzen

The new AMD Ryzen processors promise to offer a giant leap in performance compared to the current FX, such will be the improvement that its most powerful eight-core processor is expected to be at the height of the Core i7 6900K that costs more than 1, 000 euros. While Intel claims not to be afraid of Ryzen and that Kaby Lake will be enough to appease the new AMD release.

Intel is not afraid of Ryzen, ensures that Kaby Lake is enough for it

Intel has been offering quad-core processors for the mainstream range for many years and it seems that they have no intention of changing before the arrival of Cannonlake in 2018. While AMD Ryzen processors will arrive in configurations of four, six and eight physical cores so they could trouble Intel's quad-core chips. In fact, it is said that the maximum price of Ryzen will be around $ 720, so we could see six-core models below 400 euros and with prices very similar to the Core i7-7700K for example.

However Intel is very confident that its quad-core and eight-thread processors, such as the aforementioned Core i7-7700K, can stand up to all the new AMD processors, including its flagship chips with eight physical cores. Of course, Intel has dominated as it has wanted for the last five years, such has been its domain that its HEDT platform is a year behind the microarchitecture, but perhaps it is trusting itself too much and Ryzen will give him a disgust (or several) when it arrives. into the hands of analysts.

If Ryzen finally fulfills what we all hope for, the new AMD platform can seriously put an Intel that has been too long without competition and is resting on its laurels.
