The initiative of some stores to lower prices on Intel Core i7 processor many consumers was taken as a signal to the upcoming release of new version of the official price list, in which the prices of existing solutions values are closer to the levels of AMD Ryzen 7. In fact, the inevitability of decline prices for Intel processors in some perspective and pointed out some analysts.
Intel representatives, said that the company does not intend in the near future to reduce the prices of its desktop processors Core family. Analysts attribute this to the fact that the high rate of profit in a falling market allows Intel to maintain business profitability for the production of desktop processors, and price wars are contrary to the concept.
Along the way, Deutsche Bank experts predict that by the end of this year, AMD will be able to increase the number of PC processors sold by 26%, while Intel will face with a decrease in sales volumes by 5%. If we consider that Intel itself forecasts for the next three-year decline in the PC segment, sales volumes of a few percent a year, there is nothing good for the processor giant, this situation does not promise.
