Will Intel try to crush AMD by giving deep discounts?

The main stream intel i9 10900KF leak shows 10 cores 20 threads with 14+++nm. https://www.tweaktown.com/news/66560/intel-core-i9-10900kf-10c-20t-5-2ghz-499-14nm/index.html

Blurring their own lines...

According to that we see an improvement. 10c/20t flagship part for $500. Base 10c/20t part for $410. Last gen was 8c/16t for $550. It isnt 12c for $500, but it's way better than it was.

Not to jump on the bandwagon of whining about the names, but they are not nearly as nice as the single digits. I guess it's better than putting an X in front.

Sad to see yet another chipset for 14nm mainstream, but I suppose it was probably necessary to increase the core count.

Got a nice AMD "deep discount" today at Microcenter - Ryzen 7 2700X for $129.
