Intel to halve prices for HEDT “Skylake-X” CPUs (Rumor)
New rumors claim that Intel is planning to cut the price of its 9th generation Skylake-X CPU family by 50% just in time for the launch of its new Cascade Lake-X processors. This means that retailers will be able to sell current stocks of Skylake-X chips for half the price, just as Cascade Lake-X does.

The reason for all this move would have a culprit and it is called AMD. AMD is set to launch its third generation HEDT Threadripper processors in the near future, while it has yet to launch its highest-end processor, the 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X, which can, quietly, be used for a HEDT AM4 team with a 16-core and 32 processing threads.
Intel would be anticipating the move by cutting prices quite aggressively. On the other hand, it could lose some benefits from this, but it is forced to do so to better combat AMD and its continuing threat to Zen 2. Intel is also struggling with its manufacturing issues, huge stock shortage, and slow transition. towards the 10 nm node. If Intel lowers the price of 9th generation CPUs in every respect, then that will be great news for consumers. We don't know if that will happen, but AMD is winning with the price per core right now. Most gamers can choose a Ryzen 5 3600 / X (6C / 12T) or Ryzen 7 3700X (8C / 16T) and get gaming performance on par with what a Core i7-8700K and Core i9 offered. 9900K which cost more.
