skyfire Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Yeah and the thing is that intel is responsible for it. They are still charging pretty high for their i3 chips which they should be charging as low as the under 300 dollar laptop market but they are keeping i3 for the 500 dollar market. So I think they need to cut the costs for consumer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the new 11th Gen CPUs are pretty poor at multitasking and run pretty hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Yeah and that could be the reason that ASUS has not pushed for that processor series. They are just rotating the models with the 10th gen i7 and i9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Intel can still recover but they'll need to drastically change their business philosophy before they can dominate the Windows PC market again. I doubt Apple will even think of another partnership with Intel after the way Intel has been disrespecting Apple recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 They have to let go of expensive product ranges. i3 and i5 need to be priced lower now and higher end processor for games or for other enterprise work can be expensive but they have to make the cheaper prices now. it's too much market manipulation for i3 and i5 which are not that high end processor yet high priced.

Empire Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Even that I rather stick with a good I7 and get the best performance out of it then any I3 and I5. I seen good deals for I7 in the last year but the 11th gen I'm not 100% on it this time around with there downsized point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 11th gen has a lot of bad reviews and there seems to be performance issues especially from the heat side considering not even i3 and i5 are that bad so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's also consider that their top of the line chip only competes with the Ryzen 5 5800X and even then the 5800 X is still superior. Ryzen 7 and 9 are leagues ahead of anything Intel can offer right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 However the issue with the Ryzen 7 and 9 is that they are high priced and yet to get in budget for most of the gamers etc. I think in a year or two they would be going that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only fair since they are the more Premium offering now and with the shortage of chip components, we may see prices rise even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yes and another thing is the distribution that is being affected these days. A lot of folks are not aware of the fact that ASUS and MSI both have pretty heavy config focus and it takes time for them to release too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Yes 11th gen is so bad right now that most people that have done reviews also said how shocking it is to the 11th gen. I have the i7 10700k and it's not worth updating, unless I went with the big boys of the i9 10 or 11900k. point of getting the 11th gen is the new PCI 4 support and new updated chip, but the 500 series boards offer more then the 11th gen CPU do 😞 With that if I wanted to upgrade then I go with the i9 10900k rather then getting any of the 11th gen. Since it offers far more cores since all 11th gens4 offers the same core and threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I think one more year and we may see better alternative and they may end up releasing the 11th gen with reduced prices to cut down the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
