[TOMSHARDWARE] Intel Announces Cascade Lake-X With up to 50% Price Cut, More PCIe (Updated)

[ENTERPRISE]

Now this is what happens when the competition ups their game !

 

There's little doubt that AMD's Threadripper lineup has wreaked havoc on Intel's high-end desktop (HEDT) lineup, and with today's Intel Cascade Lake-X announcement we see the impact in sharp relief: Intel has cut pricing of its chips by up to 50% in preparation for AMD's next-gen Threadripper chips. The price cut is also needed to deal with AMD's delayed 16-core 32-thread Ryzen 9 3950X that will land for a mere $750 on mainstream platforms.

 

The new Cascade Lake-X processors feature higher clock speeds and a new Turbo Boost 3.0 implementation, support more RAM capacity at faster speeds, and bring more PCIe lanes. The chips will be available in November 2019 and also come with some notable technology additions at both the chip and the platform level. Intel has also infused more of its hardware-based security mitigations into the silicon.

This is what we have needed for a good while now! I am so glad we are finally seeing "more reasonable" pricing on these CPUs.

Long time coming, it is good to see Intel doing some panic stations for a change.
