AMD Could Cut Prices of 2nd Gen Ryzen "Pinnacle Ridge" Processors
AMD's first response to Intel's 9th generation Core "Coffee Lake Refresh" processors could be that of 5-10% price-cuts of its Ryzen "Pinnacle Ridge" processors across the board, according to a pricing list compiled by Techspot. These cuts could see the company's Ryzen 7 2700X priced just below the $300-mark. These cuts will be introduced not just by AMD, but also retailers.
The $200-300 segment could get crowded, with the 8-core/16-thread 2700X at around $295, the Ryzen 7 2700 (non-X) at $265, and the 6-core/12-thread Ryzen 5 2600X drop to around $210. Intel's only sub-$300 offering from its 9th generation family is the 6-core/6-thread Core i5-9600K. The sub-$200 segment will see the Ryzen 5 2600 go for $160, a rather compelling price for a 6-core/12-thread chip, given that Intel's cheapest 6-core offering, the i5-8400, is now retailing for $220, and that the company only has the quad-core i3-8350K around this price, at $170.

Might be dirty fighting, but it is my kind of fighting
Intel is large and AMD is small and they are both kicking @ their respective heights. The thing is, Intel is kicking over AMD's head, thus missing, and AMD is hitting Intel's knees, thus making a serious dent ...
P.S. Hint: AMD >> Intel
back on topic:
Weird moved by AMD (BIG YES, can't complaint). Guessed that's why she is Dr. Lisa Su! :)
Will see won't we! In the mean while, enjoyed!

Cheer!
Intel is pulling a tock, tock, tock while AMD has kidnapped their "Moore's law" and is pulling a proper tick, tock, tick.
AMD just know how the compete and its impressive to say the least. They have literally made Intel's i5 completely irrelevant. Really excited to see what AMD does next year with Zen 2 and Navi!
