Intel rocked to its Core over Ryzen, price drops begin!

They really need to drop them even more, they still aren't worth it...

now the same thing needs to happen in the gpu department

competition is good for the consumer

fantastic that I would upgrade to an i5 6600 2 months before massive price drops. Every time!!!!

I just bought an i7 7700K recently too. It's the way it is. I didn't want to wait.

competition is great

Still rockin my 4790k for a while.

Still on my 4770k and no reason to upgrade yet.

One of the computers I built for a friend back in 2011 is still using the i5 2500k.

Hmmm. Let's see the singlecore benchmarks. If they're good enough, I might remain on the CPU Red team yet again. Every time I threaten to switch back to the Blue team, AMD does something that makes me stay.

I'm happy that the price is dropping but I still wouldn't get anything other than an nvidia. They're the only make that represent quality to me at the moment.

glad i waited. i was just about to upgrade my cpu. will wait for ryzen now

Although I currently have an amd card, and am happy with it, they suck in the processor department. I'm in the area where it sounds great to see the fact that AMD might compete now, but I remain skeptical, considering their recent history of bullshitting.

Still aren't worth what? They are currently the best processor out there.

In technology land it's quite simple, you get what you pay for.

I'm still on my 3770K and I don't see myself upgrading for a long time.

My i5-2500k is still destroying every game I throw at it, especially when overclocked.

Even GTA V totally maxed out (including everything in Advanced Graphics)? My old FX-8350 falls woefully short. He He. ;)

Sorry, what I meant by that is that Intel's 6900K is slower than the 1800x and it's $1000 after the price drop, keep in mind you could get the 1700x and clock it to the same speed for $399 and It'll be faster than the $1K processor from Intel. Intel is now lagging behind and charging more. The only one that meets that statement is the i7-6950X.

More AMD Ryzen 7 1700X versus Intel i7 6800K gaming benchmarks leaked online

@jun_aka_pekto: Well totally maxed out, no, but high/ultra with 60fps at 1080p qualifies as "destroys" in my eyes..

I would still rather pay top dollars for hardware that won't cause my computer problems down the line. AMD would have to pay me to use their stuff. Every rig i ever owned sporting either their CPU or GPU always had inexplicable problems in games or on Windows. Switched to Intel / nVidia and the problems are gone.
