Of course this is a last ditch attempt by Intel to recover from the blows AMD gave it when AMD released the 5XXX series Ryzen processors. AMD is already working on their next CPU, CPU socket, and chipset for the end of the year which should also support DDR5.
Don't you find it ironic that it took AMD to force Intel's CPU prices down and also caused Intel to innovate?

Pretty much says it all. Intel are now cheaper than AMD. And often, because of the price slash, offer higher performance.
If Intel had anything of true value to offer they would offer it, as slashing prices was the last thing they would have had in mind. However, thanks to a literal personnel disaster at Intel coupled with all of the in fighting and no real solution to their shink headache AMD have caught them and just crawled a whisker past. However, don't think that it's all down to AMD kicking ass. It's totally not. If Intel could get to the node they are on? Ryzen would look totally crap.
So most of it is Keller, but a huge chunk is just Intel having the worst time in their history. Once they put that right? the pendulum will swing.
It hasn't gone unnoticed on me that AMD are slowly starting to take the Intel pee though. Full RRP old products, CPUs being sent in a slim piece of cardboard, nice packaging gone etc.
Nice corporations don't exist - but as you said, they compete in price if they can't take performance crown.
But people forgot that AMD is a corporation since they haven't had the performance crown since Intel releases Core series.
