The new AMD Zen would be like the i7 but much cheaper

[G.O.G]

The battle between Intel and AMD for delivering the world's best processors is still alive. Although the former holds the greatest legion of fans, its competitor does not want to be left behind, so it could announce in January new AMD chips with Zen architecture, with the same power as the Intel Core i7-6850K but much cheaper.

This has been leaked by a company associated with the manufacturer in China. According to rumors, AMD Zen Summit Ridge chips will be announced at CES 2017 in Las Vegas, January 5-8. There, you will know all the details, features and price of the latest generation AMZ Zen.

At the moment, what is known is what has escaped the motherboard distributor in the Asian country. Namely: CES would announce the Zen processors for high-end desktop equipment, leaving for March the most economical chips. In addition, the power of its eight cores would match the Intel Core i7-6850K now, only at a better price.

The cost of a processor is critical, especially if you want to assemble a gamer computer for parts without destroying your economy. Gamers will know what we are talking about, and is that gaming chips, like graphics and other components, are part of the lion when it comes to configuring a PC.

That's why AMD wants to hit the table with the price of the new Zen Summit Ridge, which would be between $ 250 and $ 300 in the United States. Taking into account that the aforementioned Intel Core i7 cost almost € 700 in Spain, the price difference is remarkable. With this strategy, the AMD Zen would be sold as cheap high-end processors or low cost, without sacrificing efficiency and power ..

Not surprisingly, AMD uses this tactic. In fact, their processors are already considered a good value for money, although gamers prefer to put a little more money for some of the latest generation Intel chips. Nevertheless, the faithful public of this brand continues betting strongly by her.

With the rise of gaming on PC, all manufacturers try to squeeze their possibilities to the maximum. It is a market that grows by leaps and bounds and promises to sustain the balance of companies that stand well for years, especially taking into account the profile and age of the public.
