Intel Announces 2018 Desktop Launch Event For 8th October – 9th Gen 8 Core Mainstream CPUs and More To Be Expected
The event will largely focus on the desktop PC market which Intel has been paying close attention to since the competition upped their game.
[Per Intel] "Tune in at 10 a.m. EDT (7 a.m. PDT) on Monday, Oct. 8, on the Intel Newsroom to learn more about the latest PC performance developments from Intel."
Competition is good Competition keeps prices down and technology improving for everyone -- regardless of brand preference. AMD is the only serious competition for Intel and Nvidia -- and we're recently seeing obvious performance increases by Intel due to AMD competition and obvious price increases by Nvidia due to no AMD competition at the high end.
