Intel reportedly planning to unleash its financial might to counter AMD, price cuts for Core and Xeon processors to cost US$3 billion

[Redaktion]

A leaked internal Intel slide courtesy of AdoredTV talks about Intel's plans to counter AMD's increasing marketshare via price cuts that would cost the company around US$3 billion. Intel hopes that these price cuts would help its Core and Xeon offerings remain competitive, but AMD still has the advantage when it comes to leveraging TSMC's increased yields and margins for the Ryzen chips.

Intel and Nvidia are scamming companies of all times

[AV]

Intel needs an excuse to explain the billions of revenue dollars lost by the massive AMD market share increase..

At the end, AMD is back and Intel won't be able to get its monopolistic prices ever again..

AMD 3rd and 4rd 2019 quarters are going to be stellar, and Intel stock is going to be under a lot of pressure to explain its market share and profit loses.  Intel spent $10's of billions of dollars re-purchasing its stock to make its EPS look better during earnings reports..

Intel is using misleading information to keep its naive investors.

AMD stock has made 1600% profits in just 3 years, and NVIDIA stock has made 800% in profits.. At Intel, the only people getting profits are corporate management, because stock holders only get around 4% per-year and only 30% stock profit in more than 30 years..

AMD is just starting to deliver its most powerful products and  has plans for more of a decade in new architectures.. while Intel doesn't even have high-end GPU technology..

AMD could be in danger if the leak is true. Heavily discount are always a powerful weapon against small companies. Imagine Intel's i5-i9 at 50% lowered price, Ryzen 3xxx will look joking. Same true to Xeon against Epyc.

I am not sure if such huge discounts are possible, but yeah, competitive pricing that undercuts that of the Ryzen's can swing fortunes in Intel's favor.

You're right, but for Intel current circumstances already grown desperate, they technically simply cannot compete with amd in the cpus businesses, with amd very much kicking Intel out of intel's once own playing fields, desktop, hedt, server, and now mobile, in addition to it, Intel don't have viable answer too at least not until 2020, to save from itself from completely sink, Intel needs quick solution even if might very costly, as the saying goes, desperate time justifies desperate measure, so Intel might just cut 50% off their lineups...
