Since AMD introduced Rui Long in 2017, the CPU market is not too 'normal'. The past few years to buy CPU to buy Intel's voice began to disappear, the CPU core began a lot more, Intel rare in a year to launch Two generations of CPU, 6 nuclear iu into the consumer market for the first time, 'quad-core high-frequency U-thread U invincible' argument began to withdraw from the stage of history.
There is also a consumer impressed by the 'abnormal' phenomenon is that the already strong competition Rui Long series CPU, the starting price jump diving thrilling now, not only Rui Long, has just introduced a 8-generation Core Duo price Start diving dramatically, amazing.
Speaking from the Rui Long processor price diving
AMD Ryzen 7 1700X E-commerce Price
Still remember Rui Long processor just released, less than 4,000 yuan flagship R7 1800X front hard steel price of 8,000 yuan more than the I7 6900K, Rui Long series processor cost-effective impression enjoys popular support, let alone later was called Cost-effective artifact of the R7 1700 processor.
So countless DIY enthusiasts when the pre-sale to buy the Rui Long series processors, absolutely did not expect that the processor has just been released for a month, the price of the product began to dive high.
To R7 1700X, for example, the starting price of 3099 yuan, pre-sale 100 yuan arrived 300 yuan, 2899 yuan, but after the sale of products on the perennial to maintain the price of 2599 yuan, 6.18 per shopping festival or even go to 2199 Yuan ultra-low-cost, compared to the starting price decline of nearly 30%. Jingdong self-employed are true, let alone Taobao various packages driving price.

Probably to clean up inventory, the beginning of this year, AMD and the official Announced that some of the Rui Long processor price cuts, including the R7 1800X, this time the price of the product has been as low as 2599 yuan, compared with the starting price decline of more than 35%.
Rui Long diving prices, the first purchase of consumers want to jump.
Intel processor more hedge? Does not exist!
Core i7 8700K electricity supplier price
In order to counterattack the Rui Long processor, Intel hastily launched 8 generations of Core Duo, and more than a quarter of the previous sale in advance. 8 generations of Core Duo performance to not force? Of course, to force, while maintaining a higher frequency, increased CPU specifications, increased The core number, while the official price increase is not large.
However, due to the 8th generation Core Duo is hurried ahead of the sale of products, product capacity did not keep up, the CPU at the beginning of the sale suffered a variety of out of stock problems, the product price naturally soared to the flagship I7 8700K, for example, the sale price of 3299 yuan, Rose to 3999 yuan after the high price, it seems really iu 'hedge' ah.
Core i3 8100 electricity supplier price
8 generation Core Duo performance is good, but the price comparison Rui Long processor is still slightly higher, lost a lot of DIY consumers, until 2018, Taobao many sales of 8 generations of Core business began to force.
We first look at the entry product, I3 8100 processor starting price of 999 yuan, the highest price to 1099 yuan, but now the price of Taobao scattered generally 570 yuan, compared with the highest price decline of more than 48%.
CPU chip is to directly provide the brand PC manufacturers use an economic product, he and the ordinary boxed processor performance is no difference (except no heat sink), in order to facilitate the transport, it is scattered tablets, And only one year warranty.
Although the Intel processor comes with the radiator are basically useless, even if we add the price of 50 yuan in the bulk price of the radiator to buy, then the product dropped to 43% or more, and many businesses even give the radiator.
Core i5 8400 electricity supplier price
As the mainstream of the I5 8400 processor, the starting price of 1599 yuan, the highest price of 1699 yuan, now the bulk price of 970 yuan tablets, the highest price decline of 43%, the price amazing.
Core i7 8700K electricity supplier price
And as the flagship I7 8700K even more powerful, starting price of 3299 yuan, the highest price of 3999 yuan, and now the price of 2199 yuan tablets, the highest price decline compared to a staggering 55%!
iu more preservation? The first purchase of 8 generations of Core Duo consumers want to buy, said they bought a fake iu, 8 generations of Core Duo Di has successfully won the title of the King, severely robbed from the hands of Rui Long over.
Competition led to price cuts
Whether AMD or Intel, its latest product prices are crazy price cuts, which makes some old DIY players are not suited, after all, before a 4 generations of Core spent three years and then sold out than when buying a low three or four hundred, Very good value.
Now the CPU market this phenomenon, the reason is the competition caused by the mainstream CPU market over the past few years has always been the world of Intel, the long-term semi-monopoly led to slow technology updates, commonly known as squeezing toothpaste, the market price is relatively stable. The graphics card market, the same pricing of new products will be 50% higher than the performance of the old products, but the CPU market is often only increased by about 10%.
However, two years, Rui Long processor CPU market has injected new vitality, but also prompted Intel to progress, To entry-level products, for example, I3 8100 contrast I3 7100 performance improvement of more than 30%, bulk price fell to 570 yuan, it is the gospel of consumers.
If AMD introduced bulldozers in 2011 to launch Rui Long CPU market for six years stagnation in 2017, then now Rui Long as upstart spirited, Core veterans are still alive, it can be said that has entered the golden age of the CPU market.
Conclusion
Rui Long and Core Duo contest is far from over, from all sources of information, heap core 8 generations of Core and frequency of ZEN + are only appetizers, followed by 9 generations of Core and the use of 7nm technology ZEN2 is the highlight.
Although the CPU market is fiercely competitive, the two sides play a price war, the product is affordable, but the graphics card market and memory market affected by the lack of mining and storage of pellets, the price increase is great, for DIY players is a small winter.
So I suggest you all, in today's video card memory prices rose, CPU performance rapid development of the context, if not particularly necessary, perhaps you can wait and see, and then assemble a high-performance host.
