I think it is less "Intel being greedy" as much as it is more "Intel stagnating the CPU market for a decade, having 60+ hardware exploits, severely decreased performance/value per hardware exploit, and continuing to use Skylake and 14nm++++".Yeah I dont like it either on the 8 and 6 core parts. FFS you can buy an entire Xbox Series S console that incudes a Zen 2 8 core cpu for same price as just a Zen 3 6 core cpu alone. It is funny that most people have no problem if AMD charges more if they are leading but call Intel greedy when they do the same. And really the performance gap AMD has over Intel in gaming overall with Zen 3 is less than Intel had over Zen 2. Anybody that argues that needs to go back and look at their slides a little closer. And the 5800x price makes ZERO sense now since you can get a 5900x with 50% more cores for only 100 bucks more.
Intel has stumbled big time, and they don't have the market sway or influence to pull the illegal anti-competitive and anti-consumer practices on OEMs against AMD like they did through the 2000s.
Every company/corporation/megacorp is in it to make money, and anyone who believes otherwise with AMD or Intel is fooling themselves - I do agree with you on that.
As for the CPU in the new consoles, it is missing the L3 cache, as well as potential other features that the consumer CPUs do include.
