Predicted Intel prices as 12th gen CPU Alder Lake hits marketsAlder Lake is the best generational performance increase Intel has seen in the last decade. Across most benchmarks conducted (recorded by independent parties) both the i9 and i5 were able to smash their competitors (AMD) due to Intels new E-cores, similar to the ones recently unveiled in Apple's M1 chip, which are focused on efficiency rather than performance. As Intel is "back in the game" offering these chips at competitive prices compared to similar AMD ryzen models. As such, this chip is sure to be popular in all desktop consumer markets ranging from gaming to productivity and production.
That's my 50 cents anyways.
