For gamers, I expect these will be priced such that Intel will offer a better price-to-performance ratio than AMD. I've seen so many industry pundits talking about the defeat of Intel for the last 2 generations, but gamers just quietly look the frames-per-second to $ ratio and keep buying Intel and the cheaper Intel-based motherboards. I think Rocket Lake will allow this trend to continue while Intel prepares Alder Lake.
Not sure how much that’ll hold, a lot of the gaming and pc subreddits and the communities there have been strongly favouring AMD chips in builds and advice. With Zen 3 chips I expect that to continue.
There's always a loud contingent of AMD fanboys, but then there's the silent majority who don't care and just buy on raw gaming performance per $, which is reflected in market share.
Intel mentally isn't anywhere near the rock bottom they would need to be to admit inferiority to AMD by actually underpricing them even though they easily have the margin to do so. This might even be the right strategy if they think they can come back in a couple of years and beat AMD, why damage the brand now?
This would not be a change in pricing strategy by Intel. Intel has consistently provided better price-to-performance ratio for gaming than AMD. Since AMD bumped their pricing with this launch, Intel arguably still holds this edge, especially if you account for overclocking and board prices.
The performance is in the same ballpark for cost-performance as Intel 10th gen, and the 10th gen Intel platform will be compatible with Intel's 2021 chips, whereas if you get an AMD board now, this will be the last processor which it supports. The AMD boards are more expensive for comparable features. Intel 10th gen also has better all-core boosting, which might be important for upcoming games with better multicore support.
Hi! Right now I'm using it with s-2vcpu-4gb droplet and yesterday I had a meeting with 10 people without any problem. The CPU were at 26% on average, the inbound traffic at 13 Mbps and the outbound 40. Disk usage were negligible. Today I'm going to try with even smaller droplets to see how far I can push it :)
Keep in mind that the selected droplet costs around $0.030 per hour so that's $20 per month. The good part is you can tear this setup down very easily, so you can save money whenever you're not using it.
Yikes. You haven't reduced inter-component communication. You've basically got an interface distributed across all your components, and defined as a data schema. Any change to this can now potentially break communication between any two or more processes.
