Even without using the methods of industrial espionage, Intel company has been able to form some idea about the level of AMD Ryzen processor speed. Mass leakage has occurred against the will of AMD.
Associates report that some observers, preparing materials on AMD Ryzen processors received letters from Intel last week with offer of contacting the company prior to the publication Ryzen reviews. It seems that Intel is ready to announce something important that can affect the conclusions published at the end of review.
By the way, it can be quite harmless information about the upcoming price drop on Intel processors, and to speak about the pressure on the press prematurely. Especially as more and more signs indicate a willingness to offer their Intel processors at lower prices Intel has good reasons to fight for the productive segment of the desktop processors, because the company's revenue is still heavily dependent on the production for the PC segment and gaming accessories -it is that part of the market, which continues to benefit from strong demand amid a general decline of interest in traditional desktop computers.
