It is confirmed that Intel will stop producing the Intel Pentium G4560 processors, at least during the months of July, August and September, just when they are most needed due to the arrival of the AMD Ryzen 3.

If someone from Intel asked me, what strategy to follow in the face of the arrival of AMD Ryzen 3 processors and Bristol Ridge APUs, I would tell them to lower the price of all Kaby Lake processors and that it will flood the market with Intel Pentium G4560 processors, the best processors that Intel has on the market right now. These processors, unfortunately and against all logic, will be stopped during July, August and September, at least, to try to increase the sale of Intel Core i3 processors of the Kaby Lake architecture.

Intel's idea seems the least intelligent, at a time when it has many open fronts and few alternative solutions to AMD Ryzen and AMD Ryzen Threadripper. It is clear that the Kaby Lake are nothing more than a rehash of the Skylake and the truth, the i7 7700K performs well, but in terms of temperature it is a disaster, the Core i5 and Core i3 are irrelevant with respect to the Ryzen 5 and The Ryzen 3. That the Pentium G4560 disappear, it does not seem far from a smart idea, these being the best sellers currently.

What options does Intel currently have? The Basins Falls are aimed to be a good solution for the professional segment, but an eighteen-core processor that costs $ 2000 is a complete nonsense, considering the sixteen-core Threadripper, which will cost half. Intel or has something very fat on its hands and is letting itself eat the toast, perhaps letting AMD become overconfident, although it is true that the Ryzen processors, in their desktop and modular professional versions, have performed really well in performance and their price is highly competitive.
