If AMD launch amazing CPU maybe we could expect lower price of Skylake-EX.
I hope Intel know what they do... I would feel bad if AMD beat X99.
Double Performance of FX8350 is i7-5930K.
Imagine if AMD beat X99 platform except i7-5960X with 150-250$ motherboards and 250$ worth CPU.
We could expect and some high end AMD motherboards if Processor is good. Something ass Crosshair 6 Extreme...
This was most sophisticated AMD motherboard... ASUS Crosshair 4 Extreme
Board is launched 2010, after 6 years people still could install FX8350 inside, maybe even FX9570.
FX8350 work nice.
Gaming is much cheaper with AMD, but performance are far below Intel/NVIDIA.
OK someone could use 5-6 old boards, old AMD CPU, R9-290X 8GB CF and still could play new games.
But if you compare with Skylake or Haswell-EX than difference is visible.
If AMD launch something really good, price of i5-6600K and i7-6700K could drop for 50-70$ same as Intel based motherboards.
I believe that AMD could beat i5-6600K with premium model, but more than that...We will see.
