Default Re: Core i9 is the new 32nm Gulftown moniker

@utsav, not exactly. AMD will keep the budget and mid rangecrown (even after core i5 and i3). Main reason being the power of their onboard chipsets and VFM motherboards, for which Intel has no answer.

When you are getting AMD mobo+processor for the price of Intel mobo, the extra amount that you need to pay for Intel processor can be put in GPU or HDD or any other component making the rig much much faster overall.
