AMD And Intel In Massive November Processor War
This year's biggest processor war is nearly upon us as both AMD and Intel gear up for several high-profile launches in what could be a fascinating three-way battle. Mainstream Ryzen as well as high-end desktop Threadripper and Cascade Lake-X processors are expected to do battle and the thrilling thing is, no one's entirely sure who will win.
The products in question span both mainstream and high-end platforms and could see some major shifts in market share for either company, although admittedly it's probably AMD that has the greatest potential for coming out on top.
With the Ryzen 9 3950X being the last of 2019's major mainstream launches for AMD on its Socket AM4 platform - delayed back in September until this month - at first glance it might seem late to the party. However, it's not really the likes of Intel's Core i9-9900KS that the new CPU is taking aim at. It's Intel's high-end desktop parts, namely the Core i9-9980XE and has already caused Intel huge headaches thanks its 16 cores expected to perform similarly to Intel's $2000 CPU, but for less than half the price.
