Intel is reaching out to some outlets to collect data on AMD Ryzen processors, before they are officially released.
A lot of interest has been created in the new AMD Ryzen processors, given the interesting expectations of these processors, which point to great performance. Intel logically has become nervous at the expectation of losing the leadership of the AMD Ryzen processors. Intel's first move has been to start lowering the price of Ryzen processors and now apparently Intel is sending emails to some of the media asking them to speak with them before writing their opinion on AMD Ryzen processors.
The founder of the specialized medium SemiAccurate, Charlie Demerjian, has commented that Intel is sending emails, where he asks the media to speak with them before writing about the news. It seems that Intel has been nervous about the arrival of the new AMD Ryzen processors and wants to talk to the media before they publish analysis or technical data on these processors. We do not know with what intention Intel is sending this type of emails or if they intend to know performance data to better know how to counter-attack.
The question is mainly based on the fact that Intel sees that it is facing serious problems compared to the AMD Ryzen processors, which seem to have clearly outperformed the Intel, at least, in specialized software for benchmarks. Intel has begun to lower the price of its processors, to put them a little more on the level of the ADM Ryzen processors, which will hit the market on March 2.
Intel is working on its answer, the Cannon Lake, some 10nm processors, which among other things will support DDR4 RAM in Quad Channel configuration and will support SLI / CrossFireX x16 / x16 configurations, where both graphics cards can work in a PCIe system. 3.0 x16. Not much else is known about these future processors, but they are possibly a good answer from Intel. AMD with Ryzen has a lot to win.

Do you know that Intel did it to buy, Intel already has the 1800X and 1700X a while ago, do you think with all the money they have they will not be able to buy one to give you a microphone? It's very stupid to think what contact to know about the Ryzen
He is being contacted to make fraudulent proposals, get his tests to be 7 or 10% less than what the Ryzen can really give, that is, his friends who do official reviews of Intel always inflate their benchmarks and undermine AMD, but when one does those same tests at home, they don't come out the same, generally they get 5% more from Intel and 5% less from AMD than what they really give.
Yes, they have had the R7 for a long time, what are they going to want to know? They want to buy from those who do the tests nothing more, to make the Ryzen worse and improve the i7
